Mounting arrangement for iPad

[MLD]

While technically not GPS related, by extension it is. I plan to set up navigation software on an iPad and mount the iPad to the defender.

I saw a pic of Drover's set up. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defender-county/160869-ipad-positioning-gps.html#post1778327

By-and-large Drover's set up is where I'm heading. Can people offer comment on their set up, whether it works, what would they do better, brand of mounts that haven't survived off road travel, brands that have survived off-road.

Pics are worth a 1000 words.

Is that mounted using one of those flexible stalks that attaches to a seat mounting bolt on the floor ?

From who / where ?

I had a line on a cheap Otterbox, but it fell through. Said they'd do me one a 1/2 price when the next batch arrives .... We'll see ....

Hi Wal Rat - curious about the mounting system. How is it attached to the truck, is it prone to breakage on corrugations and/or off-road. How secure is the iPad in rough conditions?

Thanks to all for your reply.

The mount is seat bolt type you have to bend the aluminum bar at sharp angles
To help with the vibration I also have a small piece of foam supporting it at the closest point to the dash.I have lots of videos taken on some very rough tracks
