Reply With QuoteAfter looking at the site for that mount, I would definitely not use that mount in a car environment. All it takes is one pothole or speed bump that you didn't see, and your screen would be in your lap.
Not really sure where to put this, since it's actually a VESA mount from the Otterbox 4600 for the Fujitsu ST5032d TabletPC...
Background:
I'm humming and hahing about installing either a TabletPC or a Thinkpad with a Lilliput touchscreen. Problem is, in the GMC Acadia, the radio is custom and isn't a DIN slot, so the plan for a in-dash pop-out screen is gone. I'm not going to fabricate a new console because it's a work vehicle. I can drill holes (within reason) but not replace entire components.
I don't want a "steal-me!!" sign, thus when I park the car to go into the mall or a restaurant, I want to shove the screen back in the DIN slot (not a choice now)... or remove the screen completely and put it in the trunk.
In order to mount the TabletPC in the car, I have a VESA mount for the Otterbox. RAM Mounts makes some good solid support apparatus, but the VESA mount isn't quick-release.
Question:
Anybody come across this same problem? Which quick-release VESA mount did you go with? Something like this, but I think something heftier is required for the added stress of movement and vibration in a car environment.
