 Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:02 pm Post subject: Sporty's Ipad Kneeboard PIREP |
 |
|
A few weeks ago I saw Sporty's advert for a combo kneeboard and Ipad case.http://sportys.com/PilotShop/product/15935?utm_source=PilotShop&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Sporty%27siPadKneeboard&utm_campaign=A10114B
What made this one unique is that it has an adjustable 'tilt' to allow you to position the ipad at an angle, which I believe is an essential requirement. They were back ordered, and it arrived a few days ago. I got out to the airport today anxious to give it a try.
LIKEY:
It is a good quality cushioned canvas Ipad case/holder. That provides good protection.
The TILT capability allows for 4 different angles
Some extra pockets, but I really don't know what I'd put in them, as the goal w/ the IPAD is to put as much paper on it as possible.
NO LIKEY:
They built some padded 'ridges' into the backside that rests on your knee, to help 'balance" the flat surface on your curved knee. They are of marginal value IMO and don't really do much to keep the kneeboard "centered".
The attachment that attaches the IPAD to the kneeboard does NOT pivot so you are limited to a portrait only view.
But the BIGGEST problem I have with it is that It just TOO BIG, the cover is like a book cover that opens with the spline on the right, the top and bottom are about 3/4" of an inch larger than the IPAD itself. When the cover is open and the 'kneeboard is strapped to your leg, the cover just hangs down "vertically". In my plane it interferres with the center console/tunnel and obscures the throttle and prop control. I headed to a nearby airport for some T&G's, but there is just no way that you can safely fly the airplane with this strapped to you knee (at least in my configuration).
Conclusion: this won't work for me, I'm still looking/conjurin about a more compact kneeboard that has the TILT built in and also allows for a pivot, but doesn't' have the 'FLAP' on the side.

Deems,
Have you considered a RAM mount rather than a kneeboard for supporting the iPad when in the cockpit? They make several different choices from the traditional arm with swivel ball joints at both ends to a gooseneck support that allows you to swing the iPad into and out of position as you require. They make Goosenecks that support notebooks so I bet they have one suitable for the 1.6 pound iPad. The other day I posted a new iPad holder on the RV-List half joking but it was a swing arm that seemed like it could work mounted to the top of the canopy and could be pivoted into position when in use (allowing you to keep your head / eyes up).
Funny how you can plan and plan for the best panel you could have ever dreamed of and once flying a piece of electronics comes along to change everything.
Deems, what software have you settled on to use with your pad?
Robin
Maybe one of these mounted to the side of the tunnel with the gooseneck pointing up? You could also run 12V power for continuous charge.

I like the idea of mounting it to the top or side of the tunnel. I plan on getting one after finished with the plane. I was planning on building an armrest/storage compartment on top between seats so will need to incorporate something like that too. For those that are flying would this be a good idea/location?

IMO , you could mount it along side of the tunnel on the co-pilot side, but only if you don't have someone sitting in that seat most of the time. If you did I believe it would interfere with their space. I don't believe that mounting it on the pilot side will allow access to TPM, and allow stick movement. I have a center armrest console, ( and like it) but I don't think that even without it that it would be a good place to mount the Ipad.
A lot of the utility of the ipad for us is in it's being portable, once you're at your destination, We get as much or more use from it on the ground as in the air. I'm just not convinced that a hard cockpit mounting makes sense.

Considering that ultimately you're trying to replace paper, and that said paper also isn't mounted, I don't see it as a big loss to have to hand hold the iPad. Keeps it very portable...and able to be passed around. I find that a normal standard kneeboard (aluminum in my case) is even big enough to interfere with the stick, although it is workable for me. I don't think personally that any hard mount for the iPad is for me. Personal reference. Rear seat headrest mount might be nice for entertainment though.

Here are 3 pics of mine mounted with removable arm from cabin top bar.
No snide comments about which side I fly from!

I like the idea of mounting it to the top or side of the tunnel. I
plan on getting one after finished with the plane. I was planning on
building an armrest/storage compartment on top between seats so will
need to incorporate something like that too. For those that are
flying would this be a good idea/location?

common helo location. I too would prefer to fly on the right side, I can do
both at this point since it all looks the same in the front.

I agree completely. I don't think iPad will replace my paper notepad on my kneeboard. Portable & versatile is key for me.

[quote]Considering that ultimately you're trying to replace paper, and that said paper also isn't mounted, I don't see it as a big loss to have to hand hold the iPad. Keeps it very portable...and able to be passed around. I find that a normal standard kneeboard (aluminum in my case) is even big enough to interfere with the stick, although it is workable for me. I don't think personally that any hard mount for the iPad is for me. Personal reference. Rear seat headrest mount might be nice for entertainment though.

If you did I believe it would interfere with their space. I don't believe that mounting it on the pilot side will allow access to TPM, and allow stick movement. I have a center armrest console, ( and like it) but I don't think that even without it that it would be a good place to mount the Ipad.
A lot of the utility of the ipad for us is in it's being portable, once you're at your destination, We get as much or more use from it on the ground as in the air. I'm just not convinced that a hard cockpit mounting makes sense.
