Dream Pilot Kneeboard for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, Any Android Smartphone, Any Tablet, Universal Solution – Slim, Stable, MIL-STD 810G Certified Design

Works well for my PPL training inside a C152 using an iPad mini as an EFB. I bought a MagSafe case for my iPad mini and it just works. It's convenient because the magnet is strong enough to hold the iPad when I'm doing maneuvers, but I can also take the tablet off when I need to without problems. It is a functional and much cheaper alternative to buying one of those fancy rugged kneeboard iPad cases ($$$). Ultimately those are probably sturdier and more secure, but this one does what I need for my training (which by itself is already expensive enough) and it's compact enough that I can just throw it in a pocket of my flying bag.

Awesome minimalist knee board! Strong magnets that keep my iPad mini (using MagSafe case) in place, even when standing upright! The included case and magnets are a welcomed bonus! The material feels durable and works well for the task at hand (or leg in this case) Best of all it’s made by an aviator with quality craftsmanship and not from China !

I use a power wheelchair, and really like the simplicity of this design. I recently took it on a plane and to a conference and the product worked very well. Given my limited mobility, it is great to have it on my leg instead of mounted to the chair, and when I needed to cross my legs I could just take my phone off. There are a few design decisions that would make this product even better. First off, there needs to be a tab that allows you to pull it off the Velcro easier. I have limited finger function and often struggle to get the strap detached. Second, it would be great to have a pouch or something that would allow me to carry a few credit cards, IDs, business cards etc. Since it's already on my leg, it would be a very handy place to keep things like that. Beyond that it's a solid product and I have really like using it.

I just want to say that I love the purchase I made! The Dream Pilot Kneeboard worked perfectly with my iPad Mini. While in flight, the iPad held on and did not move at all. I moved away from the traditional kneeboard, where it felt like a 'book' on my leg. Some of the pilots took notice of my Dream Pilot kneeboard magnet; they were amazed at the strength of the magnet! Thank you for a wonderful product!

Great product. The velcro strap is easily adjustable and extremely strong; the strap could even hold my 11in iPad in place when standing up (very strong magnets too!) The kneeboard is very low profile and easy to set up, since the only thing you have to do is use a velcro strap and put a sticker on the back of your device/case. Unfortunately, my dog chewed on the magnet (which held up pretty well all things considered!), however Dream Pilot provided a replacement through their warranty free of charge and a new kneeboard was delivered within days! Excellent customer service. I would recommend any GA pilots/foreflight users go with this kneeboard.

This thing works great! I fly a 1946 champ with limited space in the cockpit. This holds my iPad mini securely and still allows me to detach easily in flight. No better way to operate your EFB tablet from your knee.

This is exactly what I was looking for! A small, unobtrusive kneeboard (a small flat magnetic mount actually) that is small and easy to carry in my flight bag. With this mount, you can easily pop your phone or tablet on or off your knee in less than a second. Really handy if you want to take your phone off the mount and snap a quick photo. It's also easy to switch between devices. You don't have to adjust anything on the kneeboard to fit a different size device. Just plop it on and it sticks! The provided iron pieces will definitely provide a super-strong hold if placed inside your phone or tablet case as directed. I used a phone case with a MagSafe ring built in for my Samsung, and it makes for a very strong attachment. I tried an iPhone with the factory built-in MagSafe ring and it worked acceptably but perhaps not strong enough for aerobatics. For the iPhone I'd use the provided iron pieces inside a case. Another advantage of this system is that it provides good air ventilation around your device, important for cooling. The only negative I can think of is that the strap protrudes just slightly above the surface of the mount, causing a larger device to not be able to contact the surface directly. This might make for a less secure hold than if the back of the device could contact the mount surface directly.

Great for using a smart phone. Marginal, at best, for a tablet. I fly corporate and needed a new kneeboard for my new iPad. This concept appeared to be a good solution compared to my old kneeboard. The old one worked well for me, but it was a bit bulky. This item can hold an iphone perfectly, but the weight of an ipad overwhelms it. Like most pilots, I have a protective cover on my ipad which adds weight to it. To use this kneeboard with a cover-protected ipad you will have to afix the included metal plates to the OUTSIDE of the cover in order for it to hold the weight. I tried the metal plates inside the cover (between the ipad and the cover) and the magnetic attraction is insufficient to adequately hold the ipad in place. Additionally, the design of the magnetic holder is flawed for an ipad - while it is perfect for an iphone. The holder is designed such that it is flat and when the strap is fed through the piece, the straps are higher than the magnetic surface causing the ipad to "ride" on the straps instead of sitting flat on the magnetic surface. The designer has included a slot that is lower than the magnetic surface, but it is not slotted enough to allow the ipad to rest flat on the magnetic surface. With a slight redesign moving the strap slots a bit lower, it would work better for an ipad. My solution was to modify both this product and my ipad cover. I removed additional material from the strap slots mentioned above which allows better contact with the mag surface and, since I don't use the ipad cover retractable rest on the back (which allows resting on a desk in landscape format), I modified that part which allowed me to install the metal plates inside that compartment. It appears that the magnet in this item is round. A better choice would have been a square or rectangular magnet. Also, making the magnet case wider than the strap would add stability to the ipad when in use. It is currently very "floppy" on your leg due to the weight of the ipad. Again, ideal for an iphone. I had to tie a knot in the strap to reduce its length - it is simply too long unless you have large diameter legs. I would say this item is especially unsuited for a female with slender legs - unless you tie multiple knots or double it over and have it sewn by a seamstress. UPDATE - I love it when I can write a review update that is good news. I was contacted by the company CEO and we have corresponded several times. Excellent, proactive customer service!! When I received the kneeboard, I didn't realized that the plastic part through which the strap is passed before tightening and securing MUST be near the magnetic plate. How close? About 2 inches before stretching to tighten. By having this plastic part near the magnetic plate, the excessive length issue mentioned above was solved. It should fit even slender legs with no problem. Additionally, this change also solved the floppiness problem. The ipad is now stable on my leg. I am still working another issue, but that problem is with the ipad case and not with the Dream Pilot kneeboard strap. I changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. As I use this kneeboard during the next 4-6 weeks, I may raise the rating again.
