I have an Ercoupe with an open bubble canopy. It has a square windshield support tube running from the base of the windshield to the top of the winshield frame. I clamp onto the windshield support tube to mount the 720. This works fine except for the the mount and dismount of the 720 unit onto the end of the mount ball T-bolt. The whole mount system must be loosened enough to mount the T-bolt in the slot and then tightened enough to keep it secure and tighten and readjust the RAM arm. Then removing it at the end of the flight I must reverse the whole process. This is very cumbersome.
My previous AnywherMap GPS used a cradle that let me slip the unit in and out in seconds. I'm hoping someone has some experience using a RAM tablet holder/cradle to mount their 720/700 GPS in their plane. There are many 7" tablet and iPad Mini holder products from RAM that would fit the 720 based on the RAM published dimensions. The one that seems like the best fit is the "SMALL Tab-Tite™ Holder for 7" Screen Tablets":

You have to buy a 1" ball adapter to complete the holder/cradle:

Then you can use same yoke mount and arm that is used in the iFly yoke mount solution. Or, there is a single RAM yoke mount part number for that combo with the diamond shape 1" ball adapter if you are buying a new mount from scratch:

If you buy the cradle alone to use with your existing iFly yoke mount hardware the RAM price would be about $41 for adding the tablet holder to your existing yoke mount. The whole set with holder/cradle and yoke mount would be about $67.
Please let know about any experience you have with these RAM tablet holder/cradles in your plane or your car.
