ARKON Mounts - Car Seat Rail Tablet Mount and Holder | Heavy-Duty for Car/Truck | Adjustable Angle & Height | Easy Installation & Removal | 22-inch Arm for Enhanced Accessibility & Convenience

I wanted a rigid car mount for my iPad pro 11, something sturdy that wouldn't move around or drup/sag under the weight of my iPad. My searches on Amazon found the Arkon seat rail mount. The reviews were good so I gave it a try. The mount was very easy to install in my 2023 Toyota Camry, and was perfect fit. When installed I was able to position my iPad in the perfect spot for my needs. This mount has plenty of adjustability. The spring loaded clamps keep a good grip on my iPad without worry of it falling out. And best of all, no drupe or sag! All components are made of aluminum except for the clamp. It appears to be made of plastic or resin. I did find that due to it's length, the mount would "vibrate" or shake a little when driving on rough roads. To correct this, I positioned the mount so that it's middle adjustable "elbow" was supported by the center console of my car ( see picture). Overall I do recommend this mount.

I drive a Volvo XC 90 and do a lot of remote work and unfortunately the cockpit is sorely lacking in a surface to place a laptop or tablet when pulled over or parked trying to do a work task. So I looked at the full range of options available, and for my vehicle, the seat bolt mount was definitely the best option. This product seemed like about the best value in the category so I gave it a try. The actual tablet mount works better than it looks, it actually works really well and holds the iPad pretty well either by itself or with the keyboard attached by connecting directly to the keyboard. There is a little bit of wobbling/vibration if used while driving, but I don’t really see how that could be avoided with the nature of the product. The handles to tighten and loosen the joint bolts are very well designed with a spring mechanism that allows easy adjustment without looking, which is especially important for the bottom portion. I have not attempted anything heavier than the iPad Pro with keyboard, it does seem like that is pretty much the safe limit for the device. Based on the dimensions, you could probably cram a MacBook Air into it but I wouldn’t try a MacBook Pro. The ball joint that connects the actual accessory holder at the top is a standard size, I believe 20 mm which is very popular for different brands of mounting accessories, so if you do want to try it with a different device like a GPS unit or a camera, it should be trivial to swap those accessories. I am probably going to look for a head to mount my DJI vlog camera.

Pretty good mount. Have been off-road with it and as long as it's mounted correctly it doesn't wobble or move.

When I first bought this I had a Kenworth W900. I bolted the stand to an existing hole in the passenger seat frame under the seat cushion and adjusted the arms on the stand to where I wanted. The shaking was minimal. I moved to a Peterbilt 567 4 axle heavy haul truck. To install it I removed a mounting bolt from the seat to the floor. To get the bolt through the foot I had to file a very small amount off the inside of the foot then run the bolt through to the floor. In this truck it shakes A LOT as seen in the video. I had to run a short bungee cord from the stand to the right side of the seat frame so it was tight to get the shaking and vibration under control. I attribute the massive increase in shaking and vibration to the heavy suspension of the heavy haul set up. The stand holds my tablet in place . It has “L” shaped brackets that are spring loaded on the bottom. You just push down and the tablet will come out. I’ve taken my tablet out of the stand numerous times, at times several times a day, to show my OD permits at the scales. The springs tension holds up well. Even on the worse roads with loads well above 170,000 lbs gross my tablet stays in the stand. The stand was easy to put together and very easy to adjust. I would give it 5 starts if it was sturdier.

This is a great product at the price. Works in my 2023 F150 which I couldn’t find any reviews specific to this truck. I took off the seat mount hole cover, loosened the seat bolt, slid the longest bracket under the seat base and cranked it down. Probably 30 minutes including unboxing the parts. I do have the largest iPad they make with an otter style rubber case and this fits it just fine. Hadn’t been able to find a bracket to hold the iPad with case until now. It’s not super bouncy in the truck. Not as bad as I thought it would be at least.

I love it exactly what I've needed in my truck for a long time very nice product great price

I bought this for my Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Over the past week I've had it installed and holding a 10" iPad. I went about 350 miles off road, and if you know anything about it - that is a TON of shake, rattle and roll. This mount never came loose once. The iPad does bounce slightly when you hit the rough stuff but that is to be expected on a long extension arm. The only other comparable product I've found is a RAM mount that costs $390 (compared to about $90 for this). Overall this is very well made of solid metal parts and pieces. The actual tablet holder is plastic. I could see myself upgrading this but regardless it worked just find for me.

Works well! At first when I opened the box I thought for sure it would not fit my large iPad Pro and I purchased it because it said it would work. I added the arms that hold the device and thought again, there is no way the iPad Pro will ever fit. I then attempted to put the ipan in and was amazed that it was able to hold the iPad and it gripped it well. Like others have said already. There is a slight wiggle while driving and also the screw that holds the iPad section to the mount came loose on day one. I'll have to try their suggestions and see how that works out. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Es muy facil de instalar !

Voilà 3 ans que j'utilise ce support à tous les jours, et il fonctionne toujours, rien de casser. Je dois préciser que j'ai habitude d'y fixer ma tablette le matin, et de la retirer le soir après mon quart. Quand est-il lors d'une utilisation plus intensive nécessitant des retraits constant durant votre quart? Je crois qu'à la lumière de l'expérience de mon collègue, les ressorts lâches. Et impossible de commander uniquement la portion plastique du support de tablette, vous devrez commander un ensemble complet.

habe es auf einer längeren Autobahnstrecke für Podcasts/Navigation eingesetzt. Lehne den unteren Arm an der Beifahrersitzfläche an -> dämpft Vibrationen und steht stabil. Leider sind die Halter recht unpräzise gearbeitet. Foto: Halter von Unten. Die Bohrung des Haltes ist zu klein. Die dazugehörige Schraube passt nicht -> Ständerbohrmaschine und um 1mm aufgebohrt. Schraube ersetzen, geht nicht, ändert nichts an dem zu kleinen Loch. Weiteres Manko: nach Montage kann der Beifahrersitz nur noch entsprechend der Halterlänge (6cm) verstellt werden. Alles in allem, wenn ich alleine unterwegs bin, sehr hilfreich!

Excellent bit of gear

Very happy with both the product and the seller : )
