Any pics would be great or links where you got them please

Guardian flush mounted iPad holders have fan cooling. Look like a good option?

I have a  Guardian iPad mount/docking station with charger & fan. I also have a Guardian, in paned, mounted  USB-A, twin port, charger . 

 

Observations:

• The mount is flat to the panel, which is fine IF the directly in front of pilot. My son made up an angled spacer for mine, tilting the screen towards the pilot position (more betterer!)
• The fan seems to work well. The charger has been a problem from day one.
• Guardian do not respond to enquiries regarding product difficulties.
• Their products are TSO (certified) so very very expensive compared with say a good quality automotive/marine competitors
• Delivery costs from the USA may shock you.

With my last aircraft I mounted my iPad/ RAM in-front of a small eyeball vent - worked a treat.

Marty introduced me to Fusion 3D CAD so I’ve spent several hours getting familiar with it so that I’m prepared for little jobs like this. I have the 3D plastic printer but I’ve never had a job for it before. I’m looking forward to knocking up all those little fancy bits I need from time to time.

There are several other suppliers of fan cooled docking stations - can not vouch for them but look oaky on Google.

 

If you were to purchase a nice RAM mount, it would be easy enough to drill few ventilation holes & attache a computer fan to the back - just a thought.
