iPad kneeboards are a great way to secure your EFB in the airplane. Here are our top 4 picks.

Kneeboards have changed drastically over the last 15 years. Once used for charts and flight plan forms, kneeboards are now used to hold the most trusted navigational tool: an iPad, tablet, or phone. (A mere 15 years ago, Sporty’s best selling kneeboard still had a pencil sharpener on it!) While our chart-specific kneeboards are still available, most pilots have switched over to a kneeboard designed around holding an iPad or tablet.
How do you pick the right one? Sporty's John Zimmerman compares four popular options, and offers his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of each one. One thing is for sure: securing your iPad in flight is important for safety and efficiency.

probably the most useful ipad mini kneeboard video on YT

Note to Apple Pencil users: MyClip stands exactly in the way of the stylus magnet which forces you to use Landscape mode.

I used Flight Outfitters in training. It worked well but in the summer, my iPad sometimes overheated when in direct sunlight. Nowadays, I prefer the Ram suction mount to place my iPad by the vent for air cooling in the Summer.

Good stuff! Thank you for the great recommendations. I really liked the Flight Gear Bi-Fold and will probably get one eventually.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing

I'd say the flyboys looks like the best out there.

Experience may vary when using these kneeboards in a Cessna or Piper.

All your credibility went out the window when you had the iPad in the first device, in portrait orientation and you're touting how secure it is, all the while the iPad is literally falling out.

We didn’t tighten it up enough for that shot - trust us, the MyClip holds very tightly when it’s adjusted.

@@sportyspilotshop For the sake of the video, why wouldn't you just tighten it? That was sloppy.

[@OutdoorsIQ]

Cut him some slack, it was a nicely produced video providing you with free information. Sure had made a mistake, but it’s no big deal.

@@sportyspilotshopWell based on your “trust us” comment I went out and bought the MyClip today at Spruce and it absolutely will not tension down on an iPad mini in portrait mode. It’s typical cheap Chinese crap. Thanks a lot!
