    Andy,
    How's the Arkon mount for vibration? Is it really stiff with the Toughbook display? Looks like a good rig, I've modified mine with a Bogen tripod quick coupler for a large video camera.

    Cap.

    The Arkon mount is not 100% stiff but there is only a small amount of wobble over the more rutted road surface. If I was doing a lot of rock crawling in the truck I think I would go and get a RAM mount instead as it would be more solid. The Arkon Swan neck is 15 inches long so I think that it is inevitable that there will be a bit of movement but it isn't a problem.

    Be interested to see the camera coupler, never seen one of those. I think it is good to have a quick disconnect on it whatever form that takes, you don't want to be leaving it visible.

    One thing I do really like about the wireless screen is that the touchscreen is very sensitive and can be used with fingers. You don't need to really press it to get it to do anything.

    Cheers
    Andy
