ProAviator Yoke Mount
Thank you for choosing the ProAviator Yoke Mount. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure a secure installation and safe flight operations.
⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING
Before operating the aircraft, you must verify that this mount does not interfere with the full range of motion of the flight controls or obstruct the view of essential flight instruments.
Step 1: Assemble the Mount
- Locate the Yoke Arm and the Tablet Holder.
- Align the threaded screw on the Yoke Arm with the receiver on the back of the Tablet Holder.
- Screw the components together securely. Ensure the connection is tight so the holder does not rotate unintentionally, but be careful not to over-tighten if using plastic components.
Step 2: Attach to the Control Yoke
- Loosen the clamp knob on the mount base to open the jaws.
- Position the clamp around the shaft of the aircraft’s control yoke.
- Tighten the clamp knob until the mount is firmly attached to the yoke shaft.Note: The mount should be tight enough that it does not slide or rotate under the weight of the iPad.
Step 3: Verify Safety & Clearance (Crucial)
Before inserting your device, you must perform a control check:
- Full Deflection Check: Move the yoke to its limits in all directions (Full Forward, Full Aft, Full Left, Full Right). Ensure the mount does not hit the panel, your knees, or the windshield.
- Instrument Visibility: Sit in your normal pilot position and ensure the mount does not block your view of the six-pack, engine gauges, or GPS.
- No Interference: Ensure the clamp mechanism does not interfere with any PTT (Push-to-Talk) switches or autopilot disconnect buttons.
Step 4: Mount Your iPad
- Expand the spring-loaded bracket on the Tablet Holder.
- Place your iPad into the holder, ensuring it sits flush against the backplate.
- Gently release the bracket so it grips the corners or edges of the iPad securely.
- Adjust the angle of the arm and the rotation of the holder to achieve your desired viewing angle.
Step 5: Final Pre-Flight
Give the mount one final shake to ensure everything is tight. Confirm your screen brightness is set appropriately for the cockpit environment.

ProAviator Suction Cup Mount
Thank you for choosing the ProAviator Suction Cup Mount. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure a secure hold and to maintain a clear field of view during flight.
⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING
Ensure the mount is placed in a location that does not obstruct your primary visual scan outside the aircraft or interfere with the operation of the aircraft controls.
Step 1: Choose Your Device Setup
This mount is designed for versatility and includes attachments for both tablets and action cameras.
- For Tablets/iPads: Locate the Tablet Holder and the Suction Arm. Align the threaded screw (or ball joint) on the arm with the receiver on the back of the Tablet Holder.
- For Action Cameras (Optional): If you wish to record your flight, locate the included Action Camera Bracket (compatible with GoPro style mounts). Attach this bracket to the Suction Arm instead of the Tablet Holder.
Secure the connection tightly. Ensure the holder or camera bracket does not droop, but leave enough flexibility to adjust the angle later.
Step 2: Prepare the Surface
- Clean the Area: For the strongest hold, clean the area of the window or smooth surface where you intend to attach the mount using a glass cleaner or alcohol wipe.
- Dry Completely: Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of dust or oils before applying the suction cup.Note: Avoid placing the mount over heating elements (defroster lines) or stickers/decals on the window.
Step 3: Attach to the Window
- Ensure the suction lever on the mount base is in the "Up" (Unlocked) position.
- Press the rubber suction cup firmly against the glass to create a seal.
- While maintaining pressure, push the suction lever down to the "Locked" position.
- The Tug Test: Give the mount a firm tug to ensure it is securely adhered to the glass before attaching your device.
Step 4: Verify Safety & Clearance
- Visual Scan: Sit in your normal pilot position. Ensure the mount places the device in your peripheral vision but does not block your view of traffic or the runway environment.
- Control Clearance: Verify that the mount does not interfere with anything or blocking your view.
Step 5: Mount Your Device
- Tablet: Expand the spring-loaded bracket, place your iPad flush against the backplate, and gently release the bracket to grip the device.
- Action Camera: Insert your camera into the prongs of the Action Camera Bracket and secure it with the thumb screw. Ensure the lens is leveled with the horizon.
Step 6: Maintenance
- Re-suction: Suction cups can lose pressure over time due to altitude and temperature changes. We recommend releasing and re-securing the mount before every flight.
