Yoke Mounting a Tablet

Mechanical Difficulty:

Here's one way to do it, using RAM Mount products:

Yoke-mounted iPads in Tiger

On the left, an iPad Mini mounted horizontally between the yoke horns. On the right, a full-size iPad mounted vertically. The yoke cushions have been removed to make a little more clearance for the iPads to fit between the yoke horns.

Both mounts use the RAM U-Bolt Mounting Base RAM-B-231ZU which wraps around the yoke column, positioned just behind the yoke. Note that the mounting ball is "upside down", compared to the way these are often attached. Next, a RAM Double Socket Arm RAM-B-201U passes under the yoke.

For the full-size iPad, this is the attachment for the RAM 2.5" Round Ball Base RAM-B-202U attached to the RAM EZ-ROLL’R Cradle for the iPad 2/3/4 RAM-HOL-AP15U.

For the iPad Mini, there is a RAM 1" Double Ball Adapter RAM-B-230U that connects to a RAM Short Double Socket Arm RAP-B-201U-A. This is is the attachment for the RAM 2.5" Round Ball Base RAM-B-202U attached to the RAM EZ-ROLL’R Cradle for the iPad Mini RAM-HOL-AP14U.

RAM has corresponding cradles for Samsung, and more generic mounts such as X-Grip.

None of these mounts do not allow for a case around the tablet. Measure carefully to determine if your encased tablet will fit using this scheme.
