I have a Garmin 296 but I really need a secure mount for it. The standard mount is not able to hold the unit in high G maneuvers. Not an ideal situation in an inverted Yak !
Does anybody have a mount that they can recommend please ?

Look at the RAM mounts from Air Craft Spruce. In my 52, I used the band
mount to strap the articulating arm to the vent tube. I then took the back
plate off the Garmin c clamp mount for the 295 and attached the Garmin back
plate mount to a RAM ball mount. The ball mount is then locked onto the
articulating arm. This whole unit then sits nicely in front of the vent air
deflector between your legs/knees.
It is easy to read and literally is out of the glare of the sun. Under
negative G, my unit does not even think about leaving the A/C.

Thanks Guys.
The 195 mount doesn't work but ViperDoc's set-up looks pretty sound. I use a RAM mount for the GPS on my bike and I know that's very secure .

Rich,
I originally had a 195 mounted to that RAM mount. I later got a 396 and used
the same mount to secure the 396. I just changed the 195 mount out to the
396 mount.
