This is a mod I made with my Turnigy / Imax 9x R/C Transmitter in order to have Ardupilot on my Nexus 7 Tablet mounted for easy no hands viewing. This is nothing more than a few GoPro mount pieces from different kits put together to form the adjustable tilt mount and removal a plastic piece from the top of the R/C Transmitter. We all have pieces like this laying around, put them together and see what you can come up with!
Layout All of Your Parts...

This is simply my version and it can be done a million different ways with different parts. These just happened to be a few parts from my various GoPro mounts that are of no use anymore. I pre attached the tape mount clip to the Nexus 7 and didn't want to remove it just for the picture. I used a FLAT tape mount clip for the Nexus 7 and a CURVED tape mount clip for the R/C transmitter.
Remove the Plastic Cover From Your R/C...

and sand it down smooth so that the CURVED tape mount clip for the R/C transmitter can adhere nicely.
Mount the CURVED Tape Mount Clip for the R/C Transmitter

Just take the tape off and pop it right on top.

Try many different configuration to suit your individual taste. This was my choice because i wanted to be able to tilt my Nexus 7.
Clip the Bracket You Made to the R/C Control

The great thing about GoPro mounts is that they are a breeze to tighten/loosen and the clips un-clip easy so I can use my Nexus 7 when I am not flying my UAV.
Clip Your Nexus 7 to Your Mount
