RAM Mounts holder designed for the LS800 will also hold the T91MT, although about 1/10 inch loose on the adjustable arm. This is part number RAM-HOL-MOT3U, which I have attached here to a RAM-B-101U universal arm and bases that swivel and pivot
|
This mount holds the tablet firmly in 2 spots (upper left and right corners) and has an adjustable third tab (bottom)
|
Both the tablet mount and the adjustable arm use the 'AMPS hole pattern'. This is a rectangluar pattern measuring 30 X 38 mm consisting of 4 holes into which screws can be placed. RAM adds several more holes, so that the bases can be installed virtually anywhere, or matched up with suction cup mounts, etc.

Sitting on the ground, engine running, terrain in red is warning me that I'm too close to the ground... duh!

On downwind at 1,600 feet, the sun coming from the left, but the tablet computer is in the shade (note the sun on my arm and instrument panel)

Turning base, 1,340 feet, the sun is from about the 11 o-clock position

Turning base, 1,300 feet, the sun is from about the 11:30 position

On the ground, terrain is in red. The low contrast makes it more difficult to see the screen in bright sunlight, such as is streaming in from the left window and covering the screen

Worst case scenario: On the ground, terrain is in red. The low contrast makes it more difficult to see the screen in bright sunlight, such as is streaming in from the left window and covering the screen
