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.
