Hi Paul
Give Ian Bullock a ring. On his last visit he showed us a prototype friction swing away arm designed for the M series mounts. I have made a few 90 degree friction ones for iPads
on lite mounts. If you want to have a go I’ll send you the drawings.

Hi Paul
Some of those motorised units seem really good. If you don’t have the funds for that, or if the individual’s residual function allows, we sometimes use a standard swing-away joystick mount on the opposite armrest
to the joystick in combination with a Manfrotto double ball joint or a gooseneck if reach is significantly compromised. We connect to the swing-away by attaching a 3/8” threaded stud that can then take any of the Manfrotto adapters/arms. Cheap and cheerful,
but we have found it effective.
Cheers
Jeremy

Subject: Swingaway Mount
Hi everyone,
I’m working with someone who is has an iPad-based AAC device using direct access. He would like to be able to independently move the device away to enable a change of position for independent personal care.
He would not be able to swing away independently a Daessy folding or swing aside mount, nor a Rehadapt light mount.
Any ideas?
Paul
