Since my music is fed via Bluetooth to my system, I found that I was putting our iPhones and iPads at risk around the boat and at the dash last summer. I thought about it and I would rather risk an inexpensive Android tablet than a $700 phone. I also wanted to be able to preview and start/stop my GoPro mounted at various spots around the boat, from the driver's seat. I modified a dash mounted tablet clamp by cutting off the top clamp and about 3/4" of the bracket itself. I wanted the tablet mounted lower than the bracket was designed to clamp. I used the lower part of the clamp to carry the weight and industrial strength Velcro to hold the tablet in place. It is very sturdy in place and yet easy to grab and use around the boat when parked. I am going to drill a hole behind the bracket to run a coiled up power cord for it so it will last all day. I store all of my music on the tablet and use the GoPro app to see what the camera sees. I actually used a ridiculously cheap $50 tablet that was long and narrow, just to try on this. I have used it at work all winter to stream music and it works great. I think this will work out great this summer and if it gets wet I'll just grab another cheap tablet while I keep my expensive phones tucked away.
