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 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.

Works well

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.

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.

Great product.. holds strong

Bought this for my husbands tow truck as he uses an iPad for GPS and apps and it works perfectly. It’s very sturdy and perfect height and doesn’t take up much space.

Screws kept backing out so had to add some loctite. Arm can be a pain to adjust side to side. Still use it everyday for my 13in IPad Pro and my iPhone.

It installed easily and worked as expected. I was assuming there would be some wobbling because it’s attached with one bolt. It wasn’t bad, but I secured it to my center console. I got a zip tie mount, some weather strip foam, and a zip tie. See the photo I attached. With that, it’s much more secure. It doesn’t wobble at all.

Es muy facil de instalar !

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!

I looked around a lot before buying one of these for my Fire tablet that I planned to keep in my vehicle connected to my OBD2 port. I wanted something that would look clean with no clips to hold the tablet in, to achieve this I purchased a separate hard plastic full case for the tablet and drilled 4 holes in the back, I then used T bolts to hold the case to the tablet stand. This made the stand look much cleaner and tailored to fit my tablet exactly, not to mention it was very sturdy, no chance of the tablet ever falling out. However there was one issue still persistent, no matter how I tightened the pivot points the stand would always have play. So I took another afternoon and welded a solid steel rod down the length of the stand making it so even if the pivot joints aren't tightened at all, the stand still won't move at all. As the stand sits now it's about the most durable and robust tablet stand I have ever seen and it gets used every day with bags smacking it to going down a bumpy forestry road, it doesn't budge at all anymore.

Excellent bit of gear

Very happy with both the product and the seller : )
