Laptop Mounts for Vehicles

Jenko, Jotto for less

Jenko is a decent competitor to Jotto. Sometimes you can find them on ebay for a bit less coin than the Jotto brand.

Mine worked great on chases for the past three years...as well as keeping it on most long vacations and other trips where DeLorme was needed. I'll likely buy another since my last one burned up in my van.

There is another option if you don't want to by a commercial brand X.

I know that Jayson Prentice built his own laptop stand from threaded 3/4" pipe and a music stand.
It isn't exactly pretty or quick to make - but he did it in way that isn't exactly time consuming either.
In fact - if he put a coat of black paint on it that would stick to galvanized steel pipe - it would be hard to tell the difference what he did and a commercial job. Unless you looked closely.
Another project for all of you do-it-yourselfers that can be done with satisfaction.

If I were to build one - I would engineer three different point into the Laptop frame stand that could absorb a massive amount of vertical shock and two points where it could absorb horizontal shock.
If it could be done cheaply enough and quickly enough - one may have attained what engineers have failed to do.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll be looking into it and seeing which one will work best for me.
