Hi guys,

Last weekend was a bit of an average day weather wise, so I decided to take on an in-van project trying to make it a bit more comfy for me to watch a movie or use the tablet whilst in bed.

I didn't want to add a tv as I don't want to dedicate the space or set up to one and frankly it just wouldn't get that much use to justify the space it took up.

Normally I would just hold the tablet up whilst watching but this gets old pretty quick.

I did buy an adjustable mic boom off ebay

as my first attempt but it was to big and cumbersome, without the result I was hoping for.

Giving up for a while I moved on to other things.

I then purchased one of these for use with my camera gear

Being impressed with it for 15 bucks I didn't give it a thought until I went back to tackle the project again when I reaslied it might just work.

With that in mind, I tried it out and came up with a plan to  attach my flip 3 portable speaker above the bed.

The end result was what I would call a success.

It allows me to be in bed and to use the tablet without the need to hold it up and of course the speaker makes watching a movie that much more enjoyable.

Being removable in no time flat to set it up elsewhere doesn't hurt either

Here's a video of the process and how it worked out.

I'd be interested in what set up others have in their vans for keeping themselves entertained.

Good idea and well done Brett.

Where do you get your movies from and how do you go with data allowance 

By the by, great AV. 

thanks boys.

I just need to get out for a test run. Have had a unfulfilled hankering for a weekend away for far too long now.
