Summary: Mounting of a TabletKiosk oe i7210 UMPC in a HUMMER H2
In Part 1, I mention how Ram Mounts was the only mounting com ponent vendor (at the time) to have a UMPC holder that was sized well enough to hold the TabletKiosk eo i7210. Given that, I decided I’d go with an all Ram Mounts based solution to mount the eo in my HUMMER H2.
This is the full list of requirements I had in mind when planning this mount. Some were missing from my first post.
- allow for quick insertion/removal of the UMPC into vehicle
- don’t obscure air vents
- don’t obscure shifter or cup holders
- don’t obscure center console stereo, climate controls, transfer case, e-locker, and traction control buttons
- don’t encroach on passenger space
- securely hold it in offroad driving situations
- position at convenient location for use by driver, i.e. don’t have to stretch or bend to reach or read it
- allow for repositioning for use by passenger
- minimize visible impact to vehicle – while I own the H2 and don’t plan to get rid of it until it dies, I’d prefer not to mar parts of the dash that are in plain view
This is a pretty healthy list of requirements. I decided that, to fulfill them, I had to use some sort of mounting arm that’s attached near the floor in a carpeted area where holes are out of sight, where the arm can be adjusted after installation, and the eo sits in a cradle at the end of that arm. It probably wasn’t going to be the cheapest or most turnkey solution.
