The main description does not claim it can hold an 11.2 inch Ipad in the "verticle mode", nor does it tell you that this wonderful, unique, TacX mount can't hold an 11.2 inch Ipad in upright position. This well built device can only hold larger tablets in the "landscape" mode. Look at the photo #3, the unreadable dimensions are actually annotated. I just assumed, giving the photo of this mount with an Ipad that it would hold it regardless of orientation. This is on me because the product is fantastic.

J'ai cherché longtemps sur internet le support idéal pour ma tablette sur mon home-trainer connecté afin de visionner des vidéos de coaching. Il fallait qu'il soit assez solide et stable pour que je puisse toucher mon écran sans que le support penche, qu'il soit adaptable pour mon tel portable, et modifiable en mode portrait / paysage, que la position soit assez reculée pour un bon visionnage et que je puisse voir l'écran en danseuse. Et ce modèle rassemble tous ces critères, de plus il est de bonne qualité. Je suis très satisfaite.Bon il est un peu cher mais ça vaut le coup.

It works great. It holds my cellphone, my iPad, and a magazine if I need it too.My son-in-law had one, so my husband bought me this for Christmas. Works great, and I am thinking of getting one for him! :DI would recommend this product. Quality seems sturdy enough and my husband put it together easily ... about 10 minutes? It came with a tool to help in tightening screws.

Ich habe mir vor kurzer Zeit einen Tacx Rollentrainer gekauft und habe erstmal ohne diese Halterung das Produkt getestet, da ich allerdings keinen TV in dem Raum habe und ich gerne YouTube Videos etc. schaue und auch den Trainer über das Tablet steuere fand ich beim Hersteller diesen Artikel zum befestigen seines Tablets am Lenker.Ich nutze es für ein iPad Pro 10,5" und es passt perfekt in die Halterung, auch mit einer kleinen Hülle drum herum sitzt es gut.Die Montage ist sehr einfach und geht ohne Werkzeug, man muss lediglich die Gummi Halbschalen auf den Lenker anpassen, diese werden einfach in die Halterung gesteckt und es sind verschiedene Größen dabei.Dann hält man die Halterung an den Lenker, betätigt den Hebel und klemmt somit die Halterung ohne Werkzeug. Zur Sicherheit ist dann noch ein kleiner Bügel dabei der als Sicherung dient damit die Halterung nicht kippen kann. Diese wird auch nur eingehängt, also eigentlich ist das Produkt perfekt durchdacht und auch von der Verarbeitung her super.In die Halbschale oben kann man zudem noch eine kleine 0,5L bzw. 0,75L Flasche ablegen, dies ist auch sehr gut gelöst da sie auf einer angenehmen Höhe liegt.Ich hoffe ich konnte etwas helfen und würde mich über ein "like" freuen. Bei Fragen bitte melden.

I rate products based on their intended use, cost of product, quality of product, and if needed, the customer support.The TACX Handlebar brace is a very unique product in that it allows the user to hold an iPad in landscape mode using only the handlebar and stem. 3 adjustment knobs allow the clamps to grab onto your iPad and are relatively easy to adjust on the fly. The water bottle slot in the middle is pretty useless if you're already on a bicycle with water bottle cages, though it does make for a handy compartment to keep your iPhone, TV remote, or to drape a towel over if needed.Now here are some things to look out for. While the clamps do hold the iPad securely in place, the brace/plastic clamps that connect to your bike's handlebar/stem are rather flimsy. What you don't see as clearly in these pictures is how this brace actually supports the weight of the iPad. Look closely at the product image and you'll notice that the clamps themselves are simply spring loaded plastic pieces. These are designed to hold onto the handlebars, but are not intended to "grip" the bars to prevent slide or twisting. The weight of the entire brace is in fact supported by a small piece of plastic shaped like a bow that goes underneath your stem and connects the two black plastic as seen in my uploaded picture. This bow shaped plastic centers the brace to your stem and holds everything up.Based on this design, the brace can still be accidentally pulled or bumped upward towards the rider (rare, but annoying when it happens). By biggest gripe though is in this weak plastic bow. You'll notice that if you tap on the iPad or rest any weight on the iPad while riding, the plastic piece will flex and it will give out and pop out of the side slots allowing your entire brace to drop and spin forward. The two large C clamps should prevent your iPad from hitting the floor, but you'll need to dismount and re-install the plastic bow in order to set the brace up properly again. This doesn't take long, but its a pretty irritating weakness in design considering the cost of brace.Lastly, if you have any other mounts on you handlebar like GoPro camera mounts, Garmin computer, lights etc... you'll need to remove them if they are within 1.5" from the stem on each side because the C clamps on this brace require a flat service on the bars.All in all I think the product is good but not worth $50 IMO and the cheap plastic bow that supports my $500 iPad is very disappointing. Oh and I almost forgot, this will not allow you to mount your iPad in portrait mode (securely). I've since changed to a heavy duty music stand with a gooseneck and have not looked back.

I have an iPad Air in a case and it fits either way portrait or landscape. They supply nice little plastic parts that look right and would hold the iPad if out of the case. They also supply 3 easy to install adapter sets that allow for the 3 most common sizes of handle bar types. You can check the Tacx website for the specific sizes however you really need a set of digital calipers to determine your handle bar diameter in many case but you can get close with a tape measure. It’s made of a durable plastic with metal fasteners and nice knurled thumb screws for adjustment. It should hold similar tablets just as well but you will need to check the specifications for yourself. There’s lots of room for adjustment angle and it is easy to put on and or remove from your bike because it is a spring loaded clamping system. I recommend it but I think it should be 10 to 15 dollars cheaper.

High quality and well thought out.Pro: Sturdy, cantilevered design is compact and solidly holds an iPad or similar sized tablet, neatly, and elegantly.Pro: Works great with the Tacx app and any other app optimized for landscape orientation.Con: Not really designed to hold a full-size tablet in portrait orientation, which isn't really needed for most things, but if you wanted portrait, be forewarned. The issue is that the adjustment for the top holders has a very limited range of motion -- it doesn't go tall enough for a full-size tablet.Caveat: It is possible to use the tablet in portrait orientation with only the lower lower holders moved toward the center, then merely rest the tablet on the upper tabs, though it is less secure when used that way.Con: There are a lot of different parts to choose from for fitting your handlebars just right, based on the diameter of your bars.Caveat: Once you get past the initial setup, it does fit well and fixes firmly to the bike, which is particularly firm because of the cantilever support from under the stem.Con: I was afraid that the hard plastic pieces might scuff my high-end carbon handlebars/stem.Caveat: I took the liberty of taping my components where the bracket contacts my handlebar and stem. Felt lining on the plastic pieces and a short felt tube for the cantilever support bar would easily fix this, but as of yet YMMV.Con: If you have an overly large stem, the cantilever support might not fit. Tacx only provides one cantilever support bar to choose from, so it either fits or it doesn't.Caveat: I adapted a custom / home-made part for mine, and have contacted Tacx for alternatives, but as of yet there is no official solution if your stem is too large at the handlebar end.Con: If your tablet is wider than an iPad in landscape mode, it might not fit. I would consider this a perfect iPad mount, but for a full-size Android mount, YMMV.Caveat: If you have a full-size Android tablet, you'd better check specs and contact Tacx if you are unsure it will fit even in landscape orientation.I know, I listed a lot of cons and caveats, but for my purposes for riding with the Tacx app on iPad, it REALLY works GREAT!I will update my review and may change the star rating, based on the response from Tacx...I wish I could give it 5 stars, because I am VERY happy with how my improvised cantilever support turned out, but it shouldn't have been necessary to fabricate my own part; hence 4 stars.
