Default Ipad mount for grab handle

Any one know of a good iPad mount for the passenger side grab handle. I use the maplets app when out wheeling but have to constantly look at my phone for locations on the trails. Just wondering if anyone has found a good mount that can handle a iPad that can swivel to allow for viewing while on the trails.

You could try the Delkin Gator clamp but just be aware of your airbag . I use the Gator clamp on the edge of the console next to the heater controls

Be very careful!! A coworkers daughter was in passenger seat, working on her iPad, on her way back to college when the car rear ended another car. The force of the airbag drove the iPad into face causing severe damage.... Intracranial bleeding and she lost one eye. Not to mention severe facial lacerations.

We have mounted an iPad to the grab bar. I used the following parts. I only had to drill one hole and that was in the side of Cool Tech Versamount microphone mount for attaching one, 1" ball.

I have the same set up, be careful - With the x mount for my iPhone, and with the doors off this week, I watched my phone fly out of the jeep at 50 mph. The otterbox survivor case was the only thing that saved if from destruction. Guessing the wind got behind the phone and sent it flying. Can just imagine what may happen to an iPad.

RAM Mount V-Shape Base with 1-Inch Ball
RAM Mount Composite Double Socket Arm for 1-Inch Ball Base

I run that with a RAM Lifeproof Case Mount for my iPad mini. No drilling, and sturdy.
