Laptop - flip screen type - center headrest mount

[Squirtydog]

Hi,

Has anyone come across a product or found their own way of mounting a 2 in 1 / flip screen type laptop between the rear headrests? I am wanting to use it as a rear entertainment screen for the kids.

There are plenty of products out there for light weight tablets etc. and lots of stuff to mount a laptop on the back of a single seat so that it can be used for computing.

Essentially I'm after something which will hold a heavy (1.78kg) 16" corner to corner object.
May be a tall order as I have been searching all morning and have turned a blank so far.

Thanks

Couldn't find any off the shelf solution to this. So ended up making/adapting my own.
No 'instructables' style build notes as I went through several versions along the way. Just a 'look what I made' post.
But, by starting with the bar from the Olixar iPad mount I already had, I made a new bracket out of wood which fits the laptop nicely. The extra weight requires a clunky leg to stabilise it but with the bottom end fixed to the carpet with velcro it is nice and secure.

Just ensure folks in the back are wearing seatbelts, thats a body mincer otherwise.

Did consider that, but if they're not wearing a seatbelt then I'm thinking they've got a lot more than the screen to worry about.
