ARKON Mounts - Car Seat Rail Tablet Mount and Holder | Heavy-Duty for Car/Truck | Adjustable Angle & Height | Easy Installation & Removal | 22-inch Arm for Enhanced Accessibility & Convenience

I wanted a rigid car mount for my iPad pro 11, something sturdy that wouldn't move around or drup/sag under the weight of my iPad. My searches on Amazon found the Arkon seat rail mount. The reviews were good so I gave it a try. The mount was very easy to install in my 2023 Toyota Camry, and was perfect fit. When installed I was able to position my iPad in the perfect spot for my needs. This mount has plenty of adjustability. The spring loaded clamps keep a good grip on my iPad without worry of it falling out. And best of all, no drupe or sag! All components are made of aluminum except for the clamp. It appears to be made of plastic or resin. I did find that due to it's length, the mount would "vibrate" or shake a little when driving on rough roads. To correct this, I positioned the mount so that it's middle adjustable "elbow" was supported by the center console of my car ( see picture). Overall I do recommend this mount.

This is a great product at the price. Works in my 2023 F150 which I couldn’t find any reviews specific to this truck. I took off the seat mount hole cover, loosened the seat bolt, slid the longest bracket under the seat base and cranked it down. Probably 30 minutes including unboxing the parts. I do have the largest iPad they make with an otter style rubber case and this fits it just fine. Hadn’t been able to find a bracket to hold the iPad with case until now. It’s not super bouncy in the truck. Not as bad as I thought it would be at least.

Works well

When I first bought this I had a Kenworth W900. I bolted the stand to an existing hole in the passenger seat frame under the seat cushion and adjusted the arms on the stand to where I wanted. The shaking was minimal. I moved to a Peterbilt 567 4 axle heavy haul truck. To install it I removed a mounting bolt from the seat to the floor. To get the bolt through the foot I had to file a very small amount off the inside of the foot then run the bolt through to the floor. In this truck it shakes A LOT as seen in the video. I had to run a short bungee cord from the stand to the right side of the seat frame so it was tight to get the shaking and vibration under control. I attribute the massive increase in shaking and vibration to the heavy suspension of the heavy haul set up. The stand holds my tablet in place . It has “L” shaped brackets that are spring loaded on the bottom. You just push down and the tablet will come out. I’ve taken my tablet out of the stand numerous times, at times several times a day, to show my OD permits at the scales. The springs tension holds up well. Even on the worse roads with loads well above 170,000 lbs gross my tablet stays in the stand. The stand was easy to put together and very easy to adjust. I would give it 5 starts if it was sturdier.

I love it exactly what I've needed in my truck for a long time very nice product great price

I drive a Volvo XC 90 and do a lot of remote work and unfortunately the cockpit is sorely lacking in a surface to place a laptop or tablet when pulled over or parked trying to do a work task. So I looked at the full range of options available, and for my vehicle, the seat bolt mount was definitely the best option. This product seemed like about the best value in the category so I gave it a try. The actual tablet mount works better than it looks, it actually works really well and holds the iPad pretty well either by itself or with the keyboard attached by connecting directly to the keyboard. There is a little bit of wobbling/vibration if used while driving, but I don’t really see how that could be avoided with the nature of the product. The handles to tighten and loosen the joint bolts are very well designed with a spring mechanism that allows easy adjustment without looking, which is especially important for the bottom portion. I have not attempted anything heavier than the iPad Pro with keyboard, it does seem like that is pretty much the safe limit for the device. Based on the dimensions, you could probably cram a MacBook Air into it but I wouldn’t try a MacBook Pro. The ball joint that connects the actual accessory holder at the top is a standard size, I believe 20 mm which is very popular for different brands of mounting accessories, so if you do want to try it with a different device like a GPS unit or a camera, it should be trivial to swap those accessories. I am probably going to look for a head to mount my DJI vlog camera.

Worth the money, very sturdy and secure for my tablet in a jeep Cherokee, multiple styles to secure it to the passenger seat. Keeps everything stable going down the highway and easy to install

Screws kept backing out so had to add some loctite. Arm can be a pain to adjust side to side. Still use it everyday for my 13in IPad Pro and my iPhone.
