Dream Pilot Kneeboard for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, Android Phones & Tablets

The kneeboard is an absolute great for cockpit ipad. The design is reliable and has good grip on the full-sized ipad mini without any slipping or vibration during maneuvers in flight in a C172. You can also adjust the size of the strap if needed as well. The build quality is great with balancing a low profile with heavy-duty durability that can withstand the rigors of daily flight usage. It keeps your essential apps and navigation tools perfectly positioned at your needs which significantly reducing head-down time and streamlining your workflow inside the cockpit. Whether you’re a student pilot like, this is a must have piece of gear that brings a new level of convenience and professionalism to every flight.

This kneeboard is perfect even in a Cessna 150 with an iPad Pro 11inch. I use a thin case on my iPad with the large included magnetic sticker on the outside of the case. It stays secure on the mount in flight and takes up so little space. The iPad stays out of the way of the controls. The magnetic sticker stays very secure to the case, and the strength of the magnetic force holding it to the kneeboard is exactly what I wanted.

Awesome minimalist knee board! Strong magnets that keep my iPad mini (using MagSafe case) in place, even when standing upright! The included case and magnets are a welcomed bonus! The material feels durable and works well for the task at hand (or leg in this case) Best of all it’s made by an aviator with quality craftsmanship and not from China !

Great for using a smart phone. Marginal, at best, for a tablet. I fly corporate and needed a new kneeboard for my new iPad. This concept appeared to be a good solution compared to my old kneeboard. The old one worked well for me, but it was a bit bulky. This item can hold an iphone perfectly, but the weight of an ipad overwhelms it. Like most pilots, I have a protective cover on my ipad which adds weight to it. To use this kneeboard with a cover-protected ipad you will have to afix the included metal plates to the OUTSIDE of the cover in order for it to hold the weight. I tried the metal plates inside the cover (between the ipad and the cover) and the magnetic attraction is insufficient to adequately hold the ipad in place. Additionally, the design of the magnetic holder is flawed for an ipad - while it is perfect for an iphone. The holder is designed such that it is flat and when the strap is fed through the piece, the straps are higher than the magnetic surface causing the ipad to "ride" on the straps instead of sitting flat on the magnetic surface. The designer has included a slot that is lower than the magnetic surface, but it is not slotted enough to allow the ipad to rest flat on the magnetic surface. With a slight redesign moving the strap slots a bit lower, it would work better for an ipad. My solution was to modify both this product and my ipad cover. I removed additional material from the strap slots mentioned above which allows better contact with the mag surface and, since I don't use the ipad cover retractable rest on the back (which allows resting on a desk in landscape format), I modified that part which allowed me to install the metal plates inside that compartment. It appears that the magnet in this item is round. A better choice would have been a square or rectangular magnet. Also, making the magnet case wider than the strap would add stability to the ipad when in use. It is currently very "floppy" on your leg due to the weight of the ipad. Again, ideal for an iphone. I had to tie a knot in the strap to reduce its length - it is simply too long unless you have large diameter legs. I would say this item is especially unsuited for a female with slender legs - unless you tie multiple knots or double it over and have it sewn by a seamstress. UPDATE - I love it when I can write a review update that is good news. I was contacted by the company CEO and we have corresponded several times. Excellent, proactive customer service!! When I received the kneeboard, I didn't realized that the plastic part through which the strap is passed before tightening and securing MUST be near the magnetic plate. How close? About 2 inches before stretching to tighten. By having this plastic part near the magnetic plate, the excessive length issue mentioned above was solved. It should fit even slender legs with no problem. Additionally, this change also solved the floppiness problem. The ipad is now stable on my leg. I am still working another issue, but that problem is with the ipad case and not with the Dream Pilot kneeboard strap. I changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. As I use this kneeboard during the next 4-6 weeks, I may raise the rating again.

Ordered one then it went on sale for prime day so ordered another with the intention to return the original because of the better price. However, after I used it I decided to keep the other as a spare. Hands down the best kneeboard iPad holder I have tried. My iPad mini stays secure with a very strong magnet, strap is wide and Velcro is strong. It is also comfortable, I barely noticed it there. Quality is top notch, it is made in Czech Republic. Can’t recommend enough just buy it.

My husband flies small planes and needed this for his iPad during the flight. It worked great. It was shipped quick. Good quality and fit well. He loves it. It keeps him hands free.

I recently purchased a new iPad and case which led me to needing a new kneeboard/holder for the iPad. For reference I use the iPad Air 6th gen 11 inch with a zugu case. I wish I would have found this knee board for my prior iPad. This thing is so simple and sleek and works amazing. The magnets are strong enough to hold the iPad in turbulence and paired with the zugu case you do not need to mount a metal plate to the case or the iPad. I used the knee board less than 3 hours before my instrument Checkride. You can turn the iPad whichever direction best suits your needs and if you need to get the iPad out of the way quickly, it’s as easy as a quick tug and tuck it away. My designated pilot examiner was so impressed he said he was going to order one for use in the jets he flys. If you are a pilot of any type that uses an iPad, do yourself a favor and order a Dream Pilot kneeboard. I fly a Mooney M20F and have no issues with space using the 11 inch iPad with the Dream Pilot kneeboard! For fit, I often get called chicken legs or told I am too skinny. The elastic Velcro strap has no issues snugging up tight on my lower thigh just above my knee. You could also strap it up higher on your thigh and mount the bottom of the iPad to it. It is very versatile, user and pilot friendly. It also comes with a nice drawstring bag to store it while not in use. I’ll probably be buying a second one for passengers to use.

Great product. The velcro strap is easily adjustable and extremely strong; the strap could even hold my 11in iPad in place when standing up (very strong magnets too!) The kneeboard is very low profile and easy to set up, since the only thing you have to do is use a velcro strap and put a sticker on the back of your device/case. Unfortunately, my dog chewed on the magnet (which held up pretty well all things considered!), however Dream Pilot provided a replacement through their warranty free of charge and a new kneeboard was delivered within days! Excellent customer service. I would recommend any GA pilots/foreflight users go with this kneeboard.

L’idée est simple mais efficace. La réalisation (puissance de l’aimant et sangle) , est très bien faite. L’ensemble est bien adapté à un iPad Pro qui ne possède pas de MagSafe. J’ai collé pour l’instant une des petites plaques magnétiques fournies sur la coque de protection de l’iPad. J’abandonne donc sans regret mon ancien système de sangle à pince.

Eccezionale funziona perfettamente e il tablet non vibra e non si muove . Lo posizioni dove meglio ti aggrada . Scelta consigliatissima .

Good quality and very good for use in gliders as no handy mount can block your emergency exit. Magnets hold all turbulence and are strong enough to walk around with the handy mounted before take off. Gute Qualität und ideal für die Nutzung in Segelflugzeugen da keine Handyhalterung einen möglichen Notausstieg stören könnte. Die Magneten halten jede Turbulenz und sind auch stark genug um vor dem Start mit dem Handy zu gehen.

Strong magnet!
