I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 with a slim but strong body that I use for home and roof inspections with a drone. When using this tablet holder, I have to tighten the connections with an Allen wrench just enough so they don't collapse in flight. It's compact if you're using a smaller, lighter tablet, in which case it fits snugly around your joints. It just means I can never fold the mount if I want it to stay in the right position for my tablet. If it was a little stronger without the tool it would be 5 stars.
