Question Tablet mounting

Hello,
So, I'm trying to get some inside on Tablet mounting solutions that have worked for you guys. I have the 3 Pax bench seat up front in my rig. Any ideas or tips before I start making holes where there should not be any .
Also I just installed the RC organizer and RC fender well covers if anyone wants to hear about those.

You might want to check out the RAM mount website.

The Garmin RV1090 gps is tablet sized. I used a Built Right dash mount with stiffener plate and combined it with a custom piece of 2” by .25in aluminum bar filled with both Ram and 67 Designs *****. This solution holds the garmin, rv cam monitor phone and ham radio. I was also able to keep everything out of air deployment paths.

I put a Nato Smart Mount XL on the top of my dash to mount a small tablet (older Amazon Fire). I'm not too impressed. The tablet stays where it's supposed, most of the time. But it tends to vibrate too much. It's a cheap mount, so for what I paid it's not that bad.

Thanks Squirrell13.

Just spoke with Built Right - exchanging photos since they had not seen one yet. They say the 21+ 150 dash mount won’t work for 2023 Superduty. They say they need a redesign. Looks like the only thing that pops straight up on a 23 SD in the center is the speaker cover. But maybe if face grill of the dashboard is off then the full dash is popped up, you can’t get the needed access or confirm there is room for screws of limited depth.

You don't get crap from traffic cops for all that real estate in your line of sight? Geez, I got pulled over for a freaking sticker being too high on the passenger side!
