Product of $50 and boredom
 

I've wanted to mount a tablet in my car for a while so I decided to get rid of the driver's side vanity mirror

Got this for $50

Cut out the Styrofoam inside the visor and did a test fit

At this point I started getting lazy. Fed the wire to power it through the little metal arm. Such a pain in the ***.

Can never have enough electrical tape

Holy **** wasn't actually planning on this working

I'll try to get some pics of it mounted up tomorrow.

That's pretty slick. How's your the visibility? Does the visor stay up even with the added weight?

Visor stays up no problem. There's a slight glare but nothing that I can't live with. I might try to see if I can find a matte screen protector.

I can't imagine how this would've looked if I didn't have the attention span of a gnat and spent more than a total of 45 minutes on it.

Looks like you have a nice pot of gold in the 3rd to last picture. :tiphat:

Hah hey don't diss my little thing of gold that I use to get solder of my iron

Annnd installed in the car.

That.

Is awesome.

I tested to see how much it'd take to get it to swing down. I ignored all instincts and hit potholes dead on. The bastard wouldn't fall down.

I like it... I'm considering this now.

Good idea.

Awesome!

You have been repped sir :tup:

I did this awhile ago, but never posted it because it was mainly for my son because he wants to watch his YouTube videos as we travel, but I want my Ipad/Dash Command going and my music playing as well so he has his own little thing going with this tablet.

That is very cool but it would not be ideal for someone tall. I hate having the visor down as it blocks visibility for me, I would rather it be something offset from where I was viewing, either to the right or left.

Very cool, nonetheless!

Hah yeah doesn't bother me much since I'm pretty short. I'm like 5'4"-5'5"

Wow, what a simple yet awesome idea!! Love it.
