While waiting for my Smart Controller V2, I decided that I just couldn't live with my iPhone 11 Pro Max & iPad anymore as monitors. The problems with overheating and dim displays just became intolerable. So, after reading some entries in this forum, I ordered a Tripltek 7" tablet. The next problem was to find a mount for the standard EVO controller. Unfortunately, I fell for the hype in the video and reviews on the Sky Fire Aerial site and the natural tendency to associate a higher price with higher quality.
I paid $100 for the Standard mount + $30 for the Tripltek bracket. I received them, assembled them and attached the tablet - so far, so good. The problem immediately became evident when, after tightening the thumbscrew that attaches the bracker on which the tablet mount swivels vertically, the tablet fell completely forward when I tilted the controller slightly away from me. The problem is that the splines that lock the two pieces of the mount are very shallow and don't fully lock the bracket (even when tightened with a pair of pliers) to keep it from rotating forward.
When I contacted the owner of the site about this, he essentially accused me of attacking him and that the problem is my fault because I didn't order the Deluxe kit for $140 (+ the $30 for the Tripltek tablet mount). He cited all the happy users of his bracket (implying that it was all my fault for being cheap). Obviously, that ended the conversation and it's unlikely that I'll ever get my money back from this weirdo.
So I ordered the LifThor Mjolnir EVO Tablet Holder for $81 from Amazon, assembled (easy) and tried it - what a pleasant joy to have a sturdy and secure mount for this tablet!!! Had I not fallen for the hype on Sky Fire Aerial website, I could've had everything I wanted for $50 less!
So my advice, if you're shopping for a Tripltek mount, be very wary of the hype you see online!
