SkyHold - Device Mounts for Pilots and Aviation Professionals

Introducing our new SkyHold™ aircraft range of tablet and phone mounts, a series of aviation mounting systems specifically designed to fit in the cockpits of your aircraft.

Having critical weather information at your fingertips is crucial for any busy pilot. Whether a weekend flyer or a working pilot, your smartphone or tablet access is essential for day-to-day aviation. Weather app updates, route calculations, pilot briefings, and instructor training can all be located on your device, so it's critical that your device is reachable without being in the way.

Our ARKON Mounts SkyHold™ range of aviation mounting options covers every eventuality for mounting your device in your aircraft. From powerful suction phone mounts on your cockpit windshield to tablet mounts on your airplane's steering yoke column, whatever airplane you fly or whatever helicopter you run for your business, we'll have a SkyHold™ mount that suits your aviation needs.

The SkyHold™ Range by ARKON Mounts

Not every aircraft is the same. For starters, not all airplanes use a steering yoke. With our new SkyHold™ range, we have airplane tablet and phone mounts that attach to your windshield, such as the SkyHold™ AV4510 and AV5520 mounts. Of course, for those of you who take to the skies with planes that use a steering yoke, we also have yoke mounting systems, which include the SkyHold™ AV3510 and AV2510 models. 

Our new SkyHold™ range can be installed in most aircraft, from the popular Cessna 172 Skyhawk, perfect for flight training, to a Bell 525 Relentless helicopter for VIP and corporate use. Even if you're just using your device to update your socials—we know what pilots are like—we have a SkyHold™ aircraft mount that will suit your flying needs.

SkyHold™: Designed for Steering Yoke Mounts

For those of you who primarily work with yoke steering column aircraft, like the Cessna Skyhawk, we've introduced a range of aircraft device mounts that attach securely to the airplane's steering yoke. One tablet mount and two phone mounts provide a safe and secure hold so that your device is accessible and secure during your flight.

SkyHold™ Steering Yoke Tablet Clamp Mount AV2510

The SkyHold™ Steering Yoke Tablet Clamp Mount is the perfect co-pilot for securing your tablet onto your aircraft's steering yoke column. This durable ARKON Mounts tablet holder supports many different tablet types, such as the iPad and Galaxy models, popular with part-time and professional pilots. 

Its wide-fit clamp firmly grips onto most aircraft steering yoke columns, making this a must-have tablet companion before every flight. It allows easy and instant accessibility to your tablet, perfect for in-flight apps.

SkyHold™ Yoke Clamp Phone Mount AV3510

Like the SkyHold™ AV2510 Tablet mount, the AV3510 SkyHold™ Yoke Clamp Phone Mount is an essential flying partner for commercial and weekend flyers. It features the same wide-fit clamp that firmly grips your aircraft's steering yoke column and instead has a secure Akron phone holder that securely holds many phone makes and models up to 5.7" wide, such as the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. 

It comes with a strong, adjustable Arkon-designed shaft, which sits between the clamp and phone holder and allows you to position your tablet exactly as you want it.

SkyHold™ Yoke Clamp Locking Phone Mount AV3530

For those needing extra security when flying, we have the SkyHold™ Yoke Clamp Locking Phone Mount, featuring a secure phone holder. This mount allows you to lock your phone into the holder, which is ideal for pilots who regularly fly routes in unpredictable weather conditions or for flying instructors who need to keep their phones locked in place.

Thanks to its wide-fit clamp, it firmly grips onto steering yoke columns up to 2.75" wide, keeping your phone completely steady and in your line of sight, even in rough weather.

SkyHold™: Windshield Compatible Mounts 

Now, at ARKON Mounts, we know that not all aircraft use a steering yoke. Some airplanes—especially aerobatic airplanes like the Edge 540—helicopters, gliders, and other aircraft use a center stick. For this, we've designed a series of SkyHold™ phone and tablet mounts that attach to your cockpit's windshield using powerful suction mounts. 

Not only do they securely fasten your device within easy reach, but these aviation windshield mounts keep your cockpit tidy, allowing you to concentrate on the sky ahead.

Designed for pilots who need a secure place to mount their smartphones, the SkyHold™ Windshield Suction Phone Mount keeps your aircraft's cockpit fully clear and instrument panel free from clutter. This particular mount firmly attaches to your aircraft's windshield. At the same time, our ARKON Mounts phone holder grips your smartphone in position so that it's accessible and viewable during your flight.

The strong suction base has a pull force of 69 lbs, keeping your smartphone flight-ready and flight-steady as you soar through the air.

Similar to the AV4510 SkyHold™ Mount, the AV4530 SkyHold™ Windshield Suction Locking Phone Mount has a phone holder that can be locked. It features a powerful suction mount that anchors your smartphone holder to the windshield with a pull force of 69 lbs. This is perfect for aerobatic pilots, who need to keep their phones in place while performing wild maneuvers. 

The number one aircraft addition for safely locking your phone for flight schedules and weather checks.

SkyHold™ Windshield Suction Tablet Mount AV5520

We know you need to mount a tablet in your aircraft, so we designed a secure tablet holder with a powerful suction base just for this. The SkyHold™ Windshield Suction Tablet Mount keeps your cockpit completely tidy and allows you to access all your flight apps and flying information at your fingertips.

The tablet holder can be adjusted to fit a range of tablet models from 7" to 18.4" screen size, even during bumpy flights, delivering a mount accessible, safe, and ready for takeoff.
