wall/swivel mount?

[gotwillk]

is there any sort of wall/swivel mount/bracket thing for the gtab? or for just any tablet in general?

i want to be able to clip it on or near my bed so i can watch stuff in bed. that would be the ultimate.

I hate to admit it but I'm looking for something similar too. Id like an arm that the dock can stand on.

We're open for low cost ideas?

Someone else mentioned the mountguys.com

I checked it out and while they may not have exactly what you need, they have more mounts for more devices in more places than even where the sunshines!

yea i checked out mount guys but their stuff isn't that descriptive and only 1 pic of the product.

i'm looking for some like a strong, flexible neck that also has a strong clip so i can just clip it. i don't want to drill any holes in my wall or anything.

Am I the only person thinking really hard about one of these?

joby.com /store /gorillamobile /original

I'm sure I could stuff it in my cup holder just fine, and my nightstand, headboard, lap, living room ottoman...

My only curiousity is if it would support the gtablet..

i can't speak for joby products but i've tried something very similar to these and i am pretty sure they won't be able to hold up the gtab. i noticed they don't even have one for the ipad. or any tablet for that matter.

Have you seen the Rocketfish Apple iPad Stand? I saw one of these at Best Buy today for $59.99. I did a quick search for reviews on my blackberry and decided not to get one. It's got 3 sizes of rubber pads which, I think, would allow it to be used to different tablets.

Can't post a link yet, so you'll need to google it.

I'm using a plate hanger I picked for 2. bucks to hang the tab on my wall.

 

[gotwillk]

so i guess no one has created or found a way for this to happen yet huh?

Your best bet may be to try one of those document holders secretaries would use in the olden days to hold up a document while they would type out a memo or the like. I'd bet a search of Staples' website may give you guys some possible ideas.

Modification

I have not tried this (and have no need) but what about taking a clip on lamp with a flexible arm or even an articulating arm and changing out the bulb socket with one of the cup holder mounts... a few screws or nuts and bolts to hold it tight in the lamp socket ...

.... or how about a simple tripod with a piece of wood as the base mounted with the camera mount and then either velcro or a combination of wood strips on bottom, top and right side to keep in place. You could place it very close to the side of your bed and use the tripod arm to find the perfect viewing angle.

Just some thoughts..

thanks for the links! i've actually thought about repurposing a lamp's bendable neck and just attaching some kinda clamp so it can hold up the gtab. the thing is though, the gtab is pretty heavy. the neck would have to be pretty sturdy, and most lamp's have a pretty weak neck. not meant to hold up about a pound and a half of weight.

so i bought this from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/PHR-NB-PB2-26...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296063786&sr=1-1 the neck is strong but its still not strong enough. i only bought it because it said its made for a dell inspiron mini 9, so i thought for sure it can handle the weight of the gtab. but the clamp didn't fit the gtab properly. the tab was about half an inch bigger than the clamp. and the way i had it positioned on my bed, the neck was not strong enough to hold the tab up. it used suction, and although that was strong, it would still fall off sometimes.

so what i'm looking for is a clip, with a strong neck, and has a clamp that will snap into place around the gtab so it can hold it in place. if i can buy this somewhere, i will be all over it. i can make it myself but it would take me a really long time because i don't have the workspace or time to make it. i'm not that good with arts and crafts stuff lol.

oh and i can't use a tripod because i'm on the top bunk on a bunk bed.

 

[anjenaire]

Ok next thought... top bunk ... could you mount a cable (Home Depot) and use pullies? Yes, I found those lights even are a bit tough to manuever and maintain position with just a light bulb in it. I like the type that has articulating arms with springs. Those springs can be beefed up with rubber bands. The next best thing would be a computer monitoring arm but it sounds like you couldn't drill into the bunk bed... so how about the PC monitoring arm and mount it to a piece of wood and then use come C clamps to clamp the wood to the bunk bed. Oh I just found this: http://www.amazon.com/Inland-Monito...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296069779&sr=1-3
or even this: http://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Ti...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296069779&sr=1-14

and then again either de-construct your existing holder or construct a velcro based holder... piece of wood or purchase a copy holder and velcro from staples: http://www.staples.com/Staples-BookLift-Copy-Holder/product_515621?cmArea=sku_pd_box1 and http://www.staples.com/VELCRO-Brand-STICKY-BACK-Fasteners-Black/product_31402?cmArea=SEARCH.. Bolt the copyholder (book holder) to the arm, and use velcro to further secure the holder to the arm. A little bit of DIY but should work well up on the top bunk.

 

[gotwillk]

yea C clamps can work. and velcro. dunno why i didn't think of velcro. i'm gonna have to do some measurements and figure this out. i have a bookgem holder so i'm gonna see if i can velcro the back of that and attach it to a C clamp arm. that way, i don't have to stick ugly velcro on the back of the tab and i can use the bookgem to clamp the tab in place. thing is i have to figure out how much velcro i can put on the back of that bookgem and if the bookgem will stick. there's not a lot of surface area on the back of that thing. if not, i'll have to find another backing. maybe a piece of wood like you said or the copy holder.

thanks for all the suggestions!

DealXtreme has mount for the iPad which should do the trick;
Car Windshield Swivel Mount Holder for iPad SKU# 47030

Has suction pad for mounting.

If you want a desk or wall mount, consider the Ergotron line of products - http://www.ergotron.com/ - I can vouch for the desk mounted monitor arm and they have a laptop tray attachment - http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/147/Default.aspx - which looks like it would work for our tablets. (The end of the arm can be adjusted so that the laptop tray is at an angle more suitable for a tablet screen)

 

[999ping]

Has anyone actually tried one of the windshield mounts?

This one on Amazon doesn't exactly had rave reviews - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
