Mounting a tablet on telescope tripod


si_

Recommended Posts

I´m looking for a way to mount a tablet on my telescope tripod to display images when I´m doing EEA. Does anyone have a solution? TIA.

UPDATE: Afte a couple of false starts that had to go back to Amazon, I ended up with this which is just perfect. Thanks for the advice guys. Tendak Exercise Bike Tablet Holder, Gooseneck Adjustable Treadmill Spin Bike Tablet Mount, Microphone Stand Tablet Holder Compatible with iPad Tablet Smartphone 4.7-12.9 Inches: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

thanks, i´ve trawled through everything i can find online but none have a clamp that will fit a tripod leg. Microphone stands are a lot thinner.

You may find a 'magic arm' for a photographer's tripod with clamp with sufficiently wide jaws, then you add a suitable tablet clamp to the standard tripod screw.

Plenty of examples of arms here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=magic+arm+clamp&crid=4R1P0KEK7X5W&sprefix=magi+clamp%2Caps%2C1169&ref=nb_sb_noss

 

Thanks! That looks just the job. First time I've heard of magic arms.

What tablet are you using ? I get by with a laptop but it's kind of clunky , a tablet capable of doing the job sounds swell !

What tripod do you have?  I'm looking at the same solution and have an eq6-r pro, sturdy legs etc?
