What I like most, is everything is in your scan. So you dont need to look left or right, away from the screens to look at your chart. Good for a quick double check of restrictions etc. This also helps during briefing. Alot of guys with the company mount talk towards their window and I can never hear them. Its better to take it off that mount and talk towards the other pilot, most dont do that though. With this mount, its easier to hear the other guys brief if they dont make an effort to talk loud enough haha.
This is also great for those hard IFR days, high workload, or rough turbulence. You dont need to turn your head and lose your scan to check something. It creates a highly efficient instrument scan. Almost as if we had another ND showing charts.
Stays in place real well. There are spacers as part of the mount for varying tray tables. The clipboard sized for the company mount works good too if you like to use lots of paper.
Doesnt get in the way of legroom, and im well over 6 foot.

You have a Fed in your jump seat tomorrow. Are you going to pull this after market iPad mount out that is mounted on a tray table that is nowhere stated to double as an iPad mount, above your feet, where it could fall and affect the rudder operations? And I have seen nothing from the company which states after market mounts to a tray table are approved.
Honest question. I for one, no way. We aren’t even supposed to have a bag behind the Ca seat unless it strapped in, I’m not thinking a Fed will like an iPad pushed into a tray table. Just my opinion, worth nothing

If you look in the EFB guide, this mount is specifically listed and pictured as an approved mount. In fact there are two alternative methods that are approved other than the one mounted in the airplane. So yes to answer your question with a Fed on board it is 100% perfectly legal just as the main company Mount. It is approved in our manuals just the same.
