a little too much windshield obscuring for my taste.
when "overlanding" or more challenging offroading, I need all the site lines i can get.
Thus the change to the change holder mount.

I am using the Owl Media mount and then RAM parts with an iPad mini and no issues on the trail…even on multi day trips….no movement and solidI looked at the bencc mount, and its a cool piece of kit, but I don't know that it would hold a tablet very well once I am on trail. That's a real challenge.
In looking at the No-drill Ram kits on Amazon, I may try a Manfrotto Magic Arm and a DIY bracket to the seat bolt. I have a couple of those sitting on a shelf (photography is a serious hobby). They hold my DSLR's with no issue, so strength shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!

I was looking at this to replace my Panavise mount that has too much bounce for my iPad mini. But like you… it’s massive and doesn’t fit the old man lux vibe of my LX so I have paused. It’s intriguing, though, as I could mount both my iPad and iPhone (with wireless charging) and not deal with bounce.I am working through the same issues for my '06....I just stumbled across another Ohana option: Link
It conceptually is interesting, but a bit massive for my tastes....but I am still pondering.
I have purchased a set of Molle panels from Victory 4x4 that mount on the sides of the center console and are much lower profile.....I intend to try and fab up a center "bridge" piece to install across the same general area (in front of the ash tray-ish). I'd like to get at least the faceplate to my Wouxon GMRS radio mounted there, and then perhaps come from the passenger side for an Ipad mini mount......the bridge component is in my head currently and soon to move into cardboard aided design phase.I was looking at this to replace my Panavise mount that has too much bounce for my iPad mini.

do you have pics of the "change holder mount" with p/n's?Installed a Kenwood ham radio using one of @BenCC's mounts and moved the tablet down to the center console using his change holder mount. Very stable.

my only problem with this mount....I still use the cassette player to entertain me...can you say Old Folks BoogieInstalled the ohana stealth panel last week, minus the center adhesive bracket, tested on some fairly rugged trails and washboard Saturday with no noticeable wiggles or squeaks- seems pretty solid.
Still working on my ideal device layout- also have owl expedition media mount (with iPhone mount beanstalk).
iPad mini will probably trade places with OE media/iphone mount when the new model comes out later this year.

I hear ya! The tape snapped on my last functional Grateful Dead bootleg cassette a few years ago so I’ve been tape-free since.my only problem with this mount....I still use the cassette player to entertain me...can you say Old Folks Boogie
I like to keep that center console free and clear as well.. Same goes for the dashboard but I guess it just depends on the use case..... That little cage thing is cool, definitely a solid option if it allows for ram mounts..... My biased opinion is still for the floor mount . Can position it all the way over into the passenger seat, or tilted a bit and angled nicely for the driver when needed. I have another ball mount in my trunk side panels so when it's bed time I can just swap the tablet over and hang out in the back.my only problem with this mount....I still use the cassette player to entertain me...can you say Old Folks Boogie
OK, I studied this and another youtube vid on if this will work on later 100s.
Take a look at time stamp 8:10 on . this is the ohana install. note the location of the upper wing fastener location (inboard and below the rectangular holes either side of the cd slot).
Take a look at time stamp 18:19 on . this is for the newer 100's. again, keying off of the rectangular holes at the top of the screen, the screen obscures the upper wing fasteners needed for the ohana mount.
Conclusion: Ohana dash mount will NOT WORK for the newer 100's
Hoping someone can prove me wrong.
We need something similar to Ohana that will work for our newer rigs.
That's not my story, and I'm not sticking to it.
