Hi everyone, I designed this tablet holder as a pet project during the pandemic and I am quite happy with the result. I’d like to collect some feedback from other indoor cycling enthusiasts. Bottom line is : would you want to buy it ? - you can install it without removing your garmin unit - works up to 32 cm drops - made from biodegradable polymer - there is a gel/airpods holder ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/gozwift/original/4X/f/d/c/fdc99ed4ca7aa099cb1a38dd50401c05080d0f71.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/gozwift/original/4X/c/6/5/c65bf571f70041e8bef6361a2d8e878dfddc84bd.jpeg) ---

Hey Simon. It’s ingenious but no, sorry, I wouldn’t buy it. Tacx/Garmin already makes a perfectly serviceable [tablet mount](https://www.garmin.com/en-CA/p/690898) which I imagine costs far less than you could get the cost of a low production run unit down to. There’s even a way to adapt a phone tray to it, which I document here: [Phone tray add-on for Tacx Tablet Bracket](https://forums.zwift.com/t/phone-tray-add-on-for-tacx-tablet-bracket/576285) If you want to release your design to the community via Thingiverse or Yeggi to let people tinker, I think that’s cool but this isn’t likely marketable. ---

Thanks for the feedback. My main idea was to be able to keep the Garmin on, since I ride inside all year long and it is my main recording device. I also wanted something more solid that is supported on 3 points, and that is easier to mount and dismount regularly. Unless I am mistaken, the Tacx does not allow any of that. ---

Yes, if you want to use a bike computer, you’d have to relocate the mount to clear the Tacx. A stem mount seems like the logical spot since a lot of people put their computers there already. The Tacx tablet mount is in fact easy to install and uninstall - it has a spring-loaded clamp so you can remove it in a matter of seconds. As for being secure, well… [DCRainmaker rode _outdoors_ with the Tacx holder](https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/wzil2n/the_real_deal/) to test if it’d fall off. (TL;DW: it didn’t) Right now, doing my linked project involves buying something and modifying it. I’d suggest it’s a perfect candidate to be 3D printed (ideally with ABS). Perhaps more important than any of the above though: my Tacx phone tray project saw next to ZERO interest. I thought it was a great idea and in practice it’s amazing. Either I’m just wrong, or perhaps the “Zwifting using a tablet cycling community” is _so tiny_ it doesn’t support it. 🤷‍♂️ ---

I don’t like mounting the screen to my bike as it wobbles about too much. when using a tablet of a phone for zwift I use a modified mic stand that i swapped the bit that holds the mic with a tablet holder and position it just in front of my front wheel. then have the companion app mounted on the handlebars
