7" tablet mounted behind pilots head in roll bar?

Does anyone have any experience mounting a tablet in this location? I've seen the tablets mounted to the back of the pilot seat but that won't work in my application due to the tip up canopy brace location when in the down position.

Maybe mount it to the canopy brace/bracket? I've thought about making an iPod mount using adel clamps for the roll bar like you mentioned, but one problem I see with the roll bar mount is the canopy brace would hit it when opening/closing the canopy, so maybe a canopy brace mount isn't a bad idea. Or on the back of the pilot seat below the canopy brace.

It is very easy to attach the tablet to the canopy bulkhead just behind the roll bar. You can buy a shell and pop it in and out or put velcro directly on the back of the tablet. I use 3M dual lock since it seems to hold a bit more securely.

If you'd like a photo of my install send me an email at:
