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.
