A lot of iPad car mounts follow one of two styles. Either it is a case or it clamps onto the headrest bars. The Exomount Tablet HRM by ExoGear uses a design that uses clamps but in a completely new way.
The viewing angles are pretty good. The platform rests on a jointed arm so you can extend it from the headrest so the person sitting in the backseat can easily interact with the device and not just passively watch. It can be rotated and tilted, but what we really wanted to see was a better option to lock it in place so it doesn't move with every bump in the road. You can lock the arm in place, but it might not stay there long.
This product is compatible with a long list of different media devices, from a small tablet to a medium-size laptop. Although it's nice to have a product that works with so many devices, the extra plastic parts needed for this advanced compatibility take up a lot of room. If you want the ability to mount multiple devices in your backseat and you have room to spare, this device might be just what you want. If you just want a way to mount your iPod, there are less bulky options.
In addition to support for multiple sizes, we really enjoy the fact that this rotates to accommodate landscape or portrait modes. What’s more, the 360-degree rotation makes it a breeze to flip from reading a book in one direction to playing a game in the other. Ready to remove the tablet? Push the button on the left and the arms loosen up – away you go.
How does mount this in the car? Oh, that’s easy. Simply lift up your headrest a bit, wrap this around the bars and lock it down. If the description sounds a little weird or all-too-easy it’s because of how little effort is really required.
