Mount for Nexus 7 (2013) on FS-TH9x RC

Posted by Jack Morris on February 8, 2015 at 2:48pm
I have been looking for a way to mount my Nexus 7 on the TX, but haven't come up with anything for sure. RAM makes 1" ball mounts with 1/4-20 either male and female threads. I was wondering if I could replace the lanyard stud with one of those? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    Shade and mount disassembled:

    Shade folded for storing (I had to put tablet on the edge of shade to keep it from popping open :():

    The shade is made from a single Meade "five star" plastic report binder, Gorilla tape and Velcro.

    Hi Jason,
    I am very happy with the IMP Concepts mount, and it is very easily removable from its base. I made a sun shade for it today, and will post some pictures tomorrow.

      Awesome. Glad you're happy. I am too.

    I had the same issue, so I adapted this from another design:

    Works great for me, though it's not removable.

    When I ordered there was a note at bottom that screws are now included. Thanks again.

    Thanks Brad, I just ordered one, hope its black, but doesn't really matter.

      Also make sure you get the screws at the hardware store.

      Mine was black.
