iPad Knee-board or Mount

[newbiepilot]

I bought a used iPad Mini and now i am debating weather to buy a knee-board or a yoke mount. Few of my pilot friends use the mount but are not very happy since it blocks some of the gauges.

What do you guys use and recommend?

Thanks a lot in Advance.

I just sit it on my lap. That works well enough. I'd probably do a yoke mount if I had a mini.

I find it helps to have a magnetically attached cover flipped open so there is extra friction on the back to help keep it in place on the leg. I've also used a knee mount.

I recently bought an iPad mini and my old knee mount for an iPad 2 wont work with it. So I ordered this, which just arrived in the mail today:

Good lord- it is simple yet effective. Actually works with my old iPad 2, iPad Mini, and iPhone 4 (the last just barely in portrait orientation). A big improvement over the old Otterbox I used to use for the iPad 2.
