Glide Gear SYL 2 Reviews

Very Handy

The specs claim that the Glide Gear Tablet Mount Adapter (B&H #GLSYL2) will fit tablets from 3 to 9 wide. I had been looking for something with which to mount an iPad Pro on a tripod or on my Fat Gecko Dual-Suction Camera Mount (B&H#DEFGM). There doesn't seem to be anything available for an iPad Pro. However, this bracket seemed to be very close so i thought I would try it. IT DOES FIT!--even if just barely. With the iPad case cover folded back it is a tight fit, but it does fit. With the cover removed (it is held to the case magnetically) it is an easy fit. One caveat though: it fits only on the shorter side of the iPad Pro. It doesn't even come close to fitting on the longer side. that means that you will need to orient your iPad in landscape mode rather than portrait mode. The unit itself seems very well engineered and constructed. A previous review stated that the thumbscrew only has about three turns before the screw, the slide both & your tablet all fall. However, only one-quarter turn is required to loosen the slide enough to install or remove a tablet. There should never be a need to loosen the screw more than that. I use the Mount Bracket to attach my iPad to a tripod or a suction mount when shooting tethered. It is much easier to review each shot on a tablet rather than on the tiny camera screen.

Otherwise, a durable, hefty piece of black metal.

Slide mechanism heeds to close & shorten another 1/4 to accommodate an IPhone 6+, not functional for 6+. The slide mechanism is held in place with a screw that has only about three turns. Turn too much to loosen and the screw,the slide both & your tablet all fall too easily to the ground, AKA get lost / broken. Screw should be crimped so that it does not fully unscrew from the main housing. Overpriced.

question

Are there any products similar to this that will hold an iPhone in landscape mode as well as an iPad in portrait? I believe the range necessary for this would be at least 2.25 -9.5 and this product seems to *just* fall short.

I'm sorry. We don't carry a single device for such a large size range.

question

Is the Glide Gear iPad Tablet Stabilizer/tripod mount adapter compatible with the most recent iPad mini? Does Glide Gear have a tripod adapter that is MORE suitable for the most recent iPad mini? Is there an even better option in the same price range? (I've tried the Makayama MovieMount and have issue with it.)

Will this adapter attach to any camera tripod?

Yes, the adapter is flexible and you are able to adjust the size of the tablet you can put on it.

will this accommodate a 3/4" wide case?

will this accommodate a 3/4" wide case?
Asked by: Michael
Tablet mounts adapter are not recommend to be used with cases, but this mount does support tablets with a 3 to 9" wide dimension. If a tablet with a case still fits these dimensions, it should be compatible.
