车载娱乐系统曾经风靡一时，但充斥着游戏、音乐和电影(movies)的智能手机和平板电脑已经让它们大多过时了。将 iPad 支架安装在仪表板或汽车座椅上，乘客可以舒适地观看电影。
在 iPad 支架中寻找什么
平板电脑支架种类繁多，无论是专门用于 iPad 还是所有平板电脑。选择适合您的 iPad 车载支架可能比您想象的更具挑战性。
您要决定的第一件事是安装它的位置。这里有许多不同的选择，正确的选择取决于您的车辆以及您需要多少稳定性。
通风孔支架易于安装，让您在驾驶时可以看到平板电脑，因此非常适合GPS导航等用途。但是，它们也是最容易脱落和掉落的，我们只建议智能手机等移动设备使用这种样式。无论如何，很少看到用于通风口的平板电脑支架。将它们视为手机的手机支架更为常见。
(Car)假设您在合适的位置放置了杯托，那么对于大多数人来说，汽车杯托支架可能是最佳的整体解决方案。它们在稳定性和易于安装之间提供了良好的组合。
一些平板电脑支架在底座和平板电脑夹之间使用鹅颈管安装座椅导轨。这对于没有合适通风口或杯架的乘客或车辆非常有用。
吸盘(Suction)支架固定在挡风玻璃内侧，但比平板电脑支架更适合作为手机支架。它们太容易脱落和掉落。
最后，连接到头枕支柱上的平板电脑支架几乎总是后座乘客的最佳解决方案，特别是如果他们不需要太多使用触摸屏而只观看视频内容。头枕(Headrest)平板电脑支架是父母中最受欢迎的一些。
1. iKross 2 合 1 平板电脑和智能手机杯架支架(iKross 2-in-1 Tablet and Smartphone Cup Holder Mount)
这款 iKross 杯架支架可容纳 7 到 10.2 英寸尺寸的平板电脑，适用于大多数 iPad，但 11 英寸Apple iPad Pro(Apple iPad Pros)和更大尺寸除外。如果您使用的是厚 iPad 保护壳，那么如果您使用的是 10.1 英寸 iPad 型号之一，则可能会推动它。
您会在包装盒中找到平板电脑支架和智能手机支架，因此您可以根据要使用的设备进行切换。杯架底座通过旋转扩展，确保牢固贴合。
摇臂非常聪明，既可以调节平板电脑的角度，又可以吸收路上颠簸的冲击。这是一款价格实惠的坚固支架，如果您驾驶的是带有刚性悬架的皮卡，它是一个不错的选择。
Arkon支架专为卡车等车队车辆设计。它安装在座椅导轨或车辆地板上，一旦固定，您就不会随意颠簸移动它。
支架有多种不同的腿长可供选择，您可以将它们组合起来以完美贴合您的平板电脑。这可确保您的平板电脑被牢牢固定。支架可以安装在您的座椅导轨上或连接到地板上。如果您使用座椅导轨，则只需使用套筒扳手即可安装，但将其安装到地板上需要在车辆地板上钻孔。因此，您需要准备好将其永久安装在您的汽车中。
假设您是优步(Uber)司机或将您的车辆用于专业驾驶目的。在这种情况下，这可能是您正在寻找的永久解决方案，但需要一些不太永久的东西的客户应该寻找其他地方。
Macally 以生产优质且价格合理的Apple配件而闻名。该公司的头枕支架也不例外。尽管价格高昂，但这是一款坚固的铝制产品，具有出色的深思熟虑的设计。
夹子固定在一个前排座椅的头枕柱上，然后可以将平板电脑直接安装在该座椅后面或悬停在两个前排座椅之间。所以即使后面有三个无聊的乘客，每个人都可以看到。
您可以根据需要调整平板电脑的角度，并使用旋转球形接头将其旋转到纵向模式。这种设计不需要工具，因为您使用手动旋钮连接它。因此，您可以在公路旅行开始时进行设置，并在结束时毫不费力地将其移除。
4. Lamicall 头枕支架摇篮(Lamicall Headrest Stand Cradle)
很多时候，简单更好。Lamicall头枕支架几乎没有活动部件，因此不会出现任何损坏(Lamicall)或出错的情况。它只是一个简单的固定装置，可以夹在头枕柱上，最多可容纳 12.9 英寸的平板电脑，因此大屏幕Apple iPad Pro用户可以在旅途中与所有 iPad Air粉丝一起享受移动影院体验。
Lamicall与所有 iPad 型号具有通用兼容性。(Lamicall)安装过程再简单不过了。使用一个简单的滑动夹，您将一端钩在头枕柱上，然后将另一个钩子向后压直到它适合。这是一个完全无工具的安装。
这款价格实惠且简单易用的头枕可以容纳 12.9 英寸 iPad 等大型平板电脑，并且由于采用球形接头设计，您可以调整平板电脑的倾斜和旋转。价格合适，非常适合在不破坏银行的情况下将支架安装到两个座位上。
5. Cellet 杯架平板电脑支架(Cellet Cup Holder Tablet Mount)
Cellet支架提供了一个结实的手臂，您可以将其延伸到 13.5 英寸的总长度。这款杯架支架以其稳定性和巧妙的三点平板电脑支架而著称，可轻松插入和移除平板电脑。
它支持 360 度旋转和单个尺寸调节臂，支架底部有两个固定腿。由于握把设计，兼容性(Compatibility)非常好。从列表中可以看出，每一台 iPad 都应该适合这个支架，以及其他品牌的平板电脑，例如基于 Android 的三星 Galaxy Tabs(Samsung Galaxy Tabs)。这是真正的通用平板电脑支架。
该支架的最后一个显着特点是您可以卸下平板电脑支架部分。这使手臂可以折叠起来，以便在需要时轻松存放在手套箱或其他存储空间中。
不利的一面是，由于那条结实的坚固手臂，您正在放弃鹅颈管的（字面）灵活性以换取稳定性。不过，如果这就是您所需要的，那么无论如何它都是比鹅颈管更好的选择。
6. Macally杯架平板电脑支架(Macally Cup Holder Tablet Mount)
如上所述，Macally作为廉价的Apple配件品牌享有盛誉，而这款杯架 iPad 支架再次巩固了这一声誉。
这使用鹅颈臂来允许微调角度和高度，但当然，与任何鹅颈解决方案一样，道路上的硬颠簸可能会使平板电脑下垂或改变位置。
在兼容性方面，它可以容纳宽度在 3.5 英寸到 8 英寸之间的任何设备。请注意，Apple iPad Pro 12.9英寸平板电脑的宽度只有 8.5 英寸，很遗憾，这些平板电脑无法正式使用。此外，即使是像 iPhone 13 Pro Max这样的大型智能手机，也略低于 3.5 英寸的最小宽度。然而， iPad Mini的拥有者们可以大饱眼福了！如果您的设备在官方宽度范围内，那么这是一款价格公道的鹅颈管支架。
7. Apps2Car 通用 CD 插槽车载(Apps2Car Universal CD Slot Car)平板电脑支架
如果您拥有一辆仍有 CD 播放器的汽车，您会用它来播放 CD 吗？如果您像大多数人一样，您可能正在使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)或手机的辅助电缆，就您而言，这使得 CD 插槽成为退化的器官。那么为什么不好好利用它并在上面安装平板电脑呢？
听起来很疯狂，CD 插槽平板电脑支架很有意义。它不会阻塞任何通风口，而且 CD 插槽通常位于仪表板上的主要位置，使应用程序易于操作。
唯一的问题是这是否足以胜任这项工作。根据用户的说法，它似乎可以处理高达 10 英寸左右的平板电脑并且可以安全地进行操作，但崎岖不平的道路可能会松开一些螺丝，需要拧紧。一开始设置似乎也有点棘手，但是一旦你弄清楚并安装它，它就会一帆风顺。
我们不会为每个人推荐 CD 插槽支架，但它可能是您的完美解决方案，具体取决于您的特定车辆和您的需求。
8. Klsniur 平板电脑头枕支架(Klsniur Tablet Headrest Holder)
有很多令人兴奋和独特的头枕平板电脑支架设计，但Klsniur可能是最具创新性的。这一切都归功于它的折叠臂，它可以让你将平板电脑靠在头枕上，让它更靠近你的脸，然后左右摆动。
支架可容纳最大 10.5 英寸的平板电脑，包括除 11 和 12.9 英寸 iPad Pro(Pros)之外的所有 iPad 。夹子可以为纵向或横向模式旋转。夹子有一个充电端口，因此您可以在平板电脑就位时从汽车的USB充电器连接移动电源或电缆。(USB)
它也非常实惠，所以为每个座位买一个应该没问题。唯一真正的问题是垂直角度调整很少。因此，如果前排座位的人倾斜太多，您可能很难从后排座位获得良好的视角。
这款来自 Mount-It 的优质杯架支架！它的要价相对较高，那么您的钱能得到什么？
首先，该公司声称这是一款适合快递员和执法人员的专业级支架。我们无法知道这是否属实，但这有助于证明价格合理，并且用户评论非常积极。支架主要由铝制成，既轻巧又坚固。
这个支架有一个多段臂，它使用齿轮来保持物体稳定和就位。这是一个比鹅颈管更可靠的解决方案，但它更复杂，有更多的活动部件。手臂确实提供了“安全锁”，可让您使用旋钮将其拧紧并将其锁定到位，因此更加安心。
臂的设计确实允许在没有鹅颈臂的一般松软的情况下实现奇妙的位置和角度范围。杯架(Cup)和平板电脑支架末端都提供 360 度旋转，而两个臂关节提供 180 度旋转。这甚至应该涵盖最奇怪的车内设置。
这只手臂只能容纳最大 11 英寸的平板电脑，所以如果你希望安装你的大 iPad Pro，你就不得不去别处看看
10. WANPOOL 通用汽车头枕支架，带角度可调夹(WANPOOL Universal Car Headrest Mount Holder with Angle-Adjustable Clamp)
大多数头枕支架都连接到头枕支柱上。不过，这有一些缺点。首先(First)，前排乘客没有全方位的高度调节，因为安装架需要一点空间来适应。因此，矮个子乘客可能无法将头枕调到他们需要的位置。其次(Second)，一些车辆有一个没有外露支柱的一体式头枕。因此，无法安装传统的头枕支架。
Wanpool安装通过使用垂直或水平工作的环绕式附件巧妙地解决了这两个问题。(Wanpool)在这个包裹上，您连接夹子，它提供垂直角度调整。这种安装系统只适合坐在前排座椅后面的人，但除此之外，它是一个不错的选择，特别是如果您经常旅行。夹子可以处理最大 12.9 英寸的平板电脑。
安全第一！
这里有一些很棒的平板电脑支架，但无论您选择哪种，我们都想提醒您，在驾驶时使用平板电脑可能会很危险。最好将平板电脑安装限制在乘客或车辆停放时使用。如果您想使用平板电脑进行导航或音乐控制，请考虑使用Siri进行免提操作，这样您就不必将眼睛从道路上移开或将手从方向盘上移开。
The 10 Best iPad Holders For Your Car
In-car entertainment systems υsed to be all the rage, but smartphоnеs and tablets packed with games, music, аnd movies have made them mostly obsolete. With an iPad holder mounted to your dash or car seat, passengers can watch movies in comfort.
What to Look for in an iPad Mount
There’s a surprising variety of tablet mounts, whether specifically for iPads or all tablets in general. Choosing an iPad car mount that’s right for you can be more challenging than you might expect.
The first thing you want to decide is where to mount it. There are many different options here, and the right choice depends on your vehicle and how much stability you need.
Air-vent mounts are easy to install and let you see the tablet while driving, so it’s good for things like GPS navigation. However, they are also the easiest to dislodge and fall, and we only recommend this style for mobile devices like smartphones. It’s rare to see tablet mounts for air vents anyway. It’s much more common to see them as phone holders for cell phones.
Car cup holder mounts are probably the best overall solution for most people, assuming that you have cupholders in a suitable spot. They offer a good mix between stability and ease of installation.
Some tablet holders mount the seat rail with a gooseneck between the mount and tablet clamp. This is great for passengers or vehicles with no suitable vents or cupholders.
Suction cup holders attach to the inside of your windshield but are better suited as phone mounts than tablet stands. They are much too prone to detaching and falling.
Finally, tablet mounts that attach to the headrest pillars are almost always the best solution for backseat passengers, especially if they don’t need to use the touchscreen much and only consume video content. Headrest tablet mounts are some of the most popular among parents.
This cup-holder mount from iKross can accommodate tablets between seven and 10.2 inches in size, covering most iPads except for the 11-inch Apple iPad Pros and larger. If you’re using a thick iPad case, you might be pushing it if you’re using one of the 10.1 inch iPad models.
You’ll find both a tablet holder and a smartphone holder in the box, so you can switch depending on which device you want to use. The cup-holder base expands by rotation, making for a secure fit.
The swingarm is quite clever, acting both as a way to adjust the angle of the tablet and as a way to absorb the shock of bumps on the road. It’s a solid mount at a great price, and it’s a good choice if you’re driving a pickup with a stiff suspension.
The Arkon mount is designed specifically for fleet vehicles like trucks. It mounts to the seat rail or the vehicle’s floor, and once it’s secured, you’re not going to move it with a casual bump.
The holder comes with a choice of different leg lengths, which you can combine to get the perfect fit for your tablet. This ensures that your tablet is securely held. The holder can be installed on your seat rail or attached to the floor. If you go with the seat rail, you can install it with just a socket wrench, but installing it to the floor involves drilling holes into the vehicle’s floor. So you need to be ready to make this a permanent installation in your car.
Suppose you’re an Uber driver or use your vehicle for professional driving purposes. In that case, this might be the permanent solution you’re looking for, customers who need something a little less permanent should look elsewhere, though.
Macally is famous for making quality and affordable Apple accessories. This headrest mount from the company is no different. Despite being aggressively priced, this is a solid aluminum product with a remarkable well-thought-out design.
The clamp attaches to the headrest posts of one front seat and can then be set up with the tablet directly behind that seat or hovering between the two front seats. So even if you have three bored passengers in the back, everyone can see.
You can angle the tablet as needed and rotate it into portrait mode with the rotating ball joint. This design requires no tools, since you attach it using hand-operated knobs. So you can set it up when your road trip begins and remove it at the end with no fuss.
More often than not, simple is better. The Lamicall headrest cradle has few moving parts so that nothing can break or go wrong. It’s just a simple mount that clamps to the headrest posts and will take a tablet up to 12.9 inches so that big-screen Apple iPad Pro users can enjoy a mobile theater experience while on the go along with all those iPad Air fans.
The Lamicall has universal compatibility with all iPad models. The installation process could not be more straightforward. Using a simple sliding clamp, you hook one end onto a headrest post and press the other hook back until it fits. It’s an entirely toolless installation.
This affordable and straightforward headrest can accommodate large tablets like the 12.9” iPads and lets you adjust the tilt and rotation of the tablet, thanks to the ball joint design. The price is right, perfect for fitting a holder to both seats without breaking the bank.
The Cellet holder offers a beefy arm that you can extend to a total length of 13.5 inches. This cup holder mount is notable specifically for its stability and clever three-point tablet holder, making it easy to insert and remove your tablet.
It supports 360-degree rotation and a single size-adjustment arm, with two fixed legs at the bottom of the holder. Compatibility is excellent, thanks to that grip design too. Looking at the list, it seems that every iPad ever made should fit in this holder, along with tablets from other brands, such as the Android-based Samsung Galaxy Tabs. This is truly a universal tablet holder.
The last notable feature of this holder is that you can remove the tablet holder segment. This allows the arm to fold up, making it easy to store in a glove compartment or other storage space for when you need it.
On the negative side, you are giving up the (literal) flexibility of a gooseneck in exchange for stability, thanks to that beefy solid arm. Still, if that’s what you need, then it’s the better choice than a gooseneck anyway.
As mentioned above, Macally has an excellent reputation as a budget Apple accessory brand, and again, this cup holder iPad mount reinforces that reputation.
This uses a gooseneck arm to allow for fine adjustment of angle and height, but of course, as with any gooseneck solution, hard bumps in the road are likely to make the tablet droop or change position.
In terms of compatibility, it will hold any device with a width between 3.5” and 8” wide. Note that the Apple iPad Pro 12.9” tablets have a width just short of 8.5”, so sadly, those will not work officially. Also, even large smartphones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max fall a little short of the 3.5” minimum width. iPad Mini owners are in for a treat, however! If your device is within the official width range, then this is a great gooseneck holder at a very fair price.
If you own a car that still has a CD player, do you use it to play CDs? If you’re like most people, you’re probably using Bluetooth or an auxiliary cable from your phone, which makes that CD slot a vestigial organ as far as you’re concerned. So why not put it to good use and mount a tablet to it?
As crazy as it sounds, a CD slot tablet holder makes a lot of sense. It doesn’t block any vents, and the CD slot is usually in a prime spot on your dashboard, making apps easy to operate.
The only question is whether this is strong enough to do the job. Based on what users have said, it does seem that it will handle tablets up to around the 10-inch range and do it securely, but bumpy roads can loosen some of the screws, requiring tightening. It also seems a little tricky to set up at first, but once you figure it out and have it installed, it’s plain sailing from there.
We wouldn’t recommend a CD slot holder for everyone, but it could be the perfect solution for you, depending on your specific vehicle and your needs.
There are quite a few exciting and unique headrest tablet holder designs, but the Klsniur might be the most innovative. That’s all thanks to its folding arm, which lets you put your tablet up against the headrest, bring it closer to your face, and swing it side-to-side.
The holder can accommodate tablets up to 10.5”, including all iPads except for the 11 and 12.9 inch iPad Pros. The clamp can rotate for portrait or landscape modes. The clamp has a port for charging, so you can hook up a power bank or cable from the car’s USB charger while the tablet is in place.
It’s also ridiculously affordable, so buying one for each seat should be no issue. The only real problem is that there’s little vertical angle adjustment. So if the person in the front seat reclines it too much, you may have some trouble getting a good viewing angle from the back seat.
This premium cup holder mount from Mount-It! It comes with a relatively steep asking price, so what do you get for your money?
First, the company claims this is a professional-grade mount suitable for delivery people and law enforcement. We have no way of knowing if this is true, but that goes towards justifying the price, and user reviews are very positive. The holder is principally made from aluminum, both light and strong.
This holder has a multi-segment arm that uses gears to keep things stable and in place. That’s a more solid solution than a gooseneck, but it’s more complicated with more moving parts. The arm does offer a “safe lock,” which lets you use knobs to tighten and lock it into position, so that’s even more peace of mind.
The arm design does allow for a fantastic range of positions and angles without the general floppiness of a gooseneck arm. Cup mount and tablet holder ends both offer 360-degrees of rotation, while the two arm joints offer 180-degrees of swivel. That should cover even the weirdest in-car setups.
This arm can only accommodate tablets up to 11”, so if you were hoping to mount your big iPad Pro, you’d have to look elsewhere
Most headrest mounts attach to the headrest pillars. There are a few downsides to this, though. First, the passenger in the front seat doesn’t have the full range of height adjustment since the mount needs a bit of room to fit. So a short passenger may not get the headrest as low as they need it. Second, some vehicles have an integrated headrest without exposed pillars. So there’s no way to attach a traditional headrest mount.
The Wanpool mount neatly solves both problems by using a wraparound attachment that works vertically or horizontally. To this wrap, you attach the clamp, which offers vertical angle adjustment. This mounting system is only suitable for the person sitting right behind the front seat, but otherwise, it’s a great choice, especially if you travel a lot. The clamp can handle tablets up to 12.9” in size.
Safety First!
There are some great tablet mounts here, but whichever you choose, we’d like to remind you that using your tablet while driving can be dangerous. It’s best to limit tablet mount use to passengers or when your vehicle is parked. If you want to use your tablet for navigation or music control, consider using Siri for hands-free operation so that you never have to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.
