I bought a couple of tablet holders at around the £20 to £30 mark. I wasn’t impressed with the quality, specifically the wobble when using my Lenovo M10 10.3" tablet, despite being advertised to handle this size.
I was tempted by the MavMount as they seem to tick all the boxes regarding quality. But seem to cost around £80 with delivery from the States, and I am not sure given the current climate, shipping would be affected. So I decided to make my own from sourcing parts from Amazon.
The total price came to £59.96 delivered. It takes tablets between 120-233mm and does not wobble at all. Posting in case it helps anyone else
Great to see tested and reliable feedback instead of false feedbacks on Amazon sites atm, I kicked up a stinker with Amazon about a item I bought and buying my feedback before I even got to test the product and let’s say Amazon were quick to pay for my silence
Question what’s the balance like on this if your not using a lanyard for short periods of time.
Fine so far. But I haven’t tested it much, as there is only so much flying one can do from the garden
I supposed that depends on the tablet, but mine 10.3" made out metal, so its no light thing. As you can see from the photos, it balances well without a lanyard (its actually a padded camera strap) - even with a large heavy tablet. And the ball head mount is quality, but after all, it is SmallRig … pucker kit.
One thing I did notice without the lanyard (with my 10.3"), is that if you shake the controller, the tablet pops out, as the 2 black rubber clamps which your phone normally sits on can’t retain the cheese board. But like I say, it depends on the tablet. With the lanyard it isn’t an issue.
