Flight Gear BiFold Kneeboard for iPad - Hands-on Pilot Review from Sporty's Doug Ranly

[@ralphstrahm4429]

Thanks for the video. I received my kneeboard, and then watched the video. The kneeboard and the video exceeded my expectations.

[@Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

Paired this with the Velcro plate from Pivot and it’s the perfect system.

Just ordered this kneeboard for the new iPad mini 6th generation, I will use it and get back to give a proper review, but based on the video, it looks like the kneeboard is a solid product with multiple features 👍

[@dojnohp1524]

Well, what's your update?

[@ibrahimaldhaibani494]

It is extremely efficient and effective when flying. Having the pockets for checklists/cross country plans/ airport diagrams/ and or a power bank for some extra charging. I highly recommend this product 👌

[@GaryCapital]

You got the mini bi fold right?

[@lancomedic]

Would have liked to see what it looked like with your seat moved forward and your feet on the pedals. When my IPad is on my knee turning the yoke left or right strikes the IPad. Would have to tilt it up 90 degrees to clear the yoke.

I just used mine for the first time yesterday. I use a fingerprint to unlock my iPad and the clip interferes with this. Maybe put a dimple in the middle? I'll try the "side" mode next time.

[@HellbenderSTL]

Just got mine and agree 100%, a dimple in the middle of one of the clips would be great to have.

Thanks for the video! Ordering now.

[@rafborrero]

Lol. I ordered this about 10 min before this video posted!!

[@eldrugoalex]

Are you happy about it? Do you take notes in a clipboard? I fear that even the small one would be problem when pulling back the yoke during takeoff or landing.

[@kimberlywentworth9160]

Flight controls not free and but correct. Hmm. I am smaller and have the seat moved up vertically and horizontally. so the Ipad is going to get in the way of the yoke.

[@thibault3604]

So, can an 11 inch iPad fit in the iPad mini case? I want to buy one and the smaller design gets my attention.

[@sportyspilotshop]

No unfortunately that’ll be too tight. Go with the larger model for the 11” iPads.

[@thibault3604]

@@sportyspilotshop Cool, thanks!

[@HoundDogMech]

Looks like if the IPAD isn't flat it will interfere with the Yoke. better on the Yoke anyway.

[@sportyspilotshop]

The kickstand can be moved.

[@909busa]

Pull the yoke back with that on your leg like that.

[@sportyspilotshop]

That's we he suggests you use the kickstand in cruise, but leave it down for takeoff and landing. It's easy to change back and forth.

[@909busa]

@@sportyspilotshop There must be something wrong with my plane because it won't cruise with yoke full forward like yours here.

[@leonaru242]

Should I need ipad case to fix on kneeboard? My ipad slips toward every direction when I move my knees.

[@sportyspilotshop]

Are the two brackets stretched tight? In our experience if they are holding the iPad under tension it shouldn't slip, even without a case.

[@leonaru242]

@@sportyspilotshop I see, one of my bracket is too loose. I solved it, thanks!

[@Ipadderx]

I prefer my iPad on my Yolk and not bouncing around on my knee...
