MyGoFlight Flex Clamp Yoke Mount Review: Yoke iPad Mount for Pilots; Features, Setup, and Real Cockpit Use

The Flex Clamp [Yoke] is the definitive yoke-mounted iPad solution for general aviation — attaching to any yoke shaft, control column, or tube between 5/8″ and 1.5″ in diameter. It uses the same standard Flex Arm (3.25″–10.5″) found on the Flex Suction, with the addition of a precision adjustable clamp base instead of a suction cup. The clamp grips via a lever-lock mechanism that tightens firmly around the shaft, allowing the arm to hold the device in position directly above, below, or alongside the yoke — giving pilots a natural, heads-up viewing position that keeps the EFB in central vision without requiring the pilot to look sideways toward a window.

Aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel construction throughout, with the same 20g shock certification and Gen 3 Sport Adapter as all other MGF mounts. Designed for both aircraft owners who want a permanent yoke position and renters who want to clamp and unclamp at each flight. Reviewers note it works well on Cessna, Piper, Cirrus, and most standard GA yoke shafts; the clamp’s upper diameter limit of 1.5″ makes it incompatible with wider Beechcraft yoke shafts (see Flex Clamp Collar below).

KEY FEATURES

• Clamp Base — No Surface Required: Unlike suction mounts, the clamp attaches to the yoke shaft itself — works whether or not the aircraft has a suitable glass surface nearby, and stays attached even if the pilot repositions the yoke frequently
• Natural Device Position: Placing the device on the yoke keeps it directly in the pilot’s central vision — reducing head-down time more effectively than a side-window mount in many cockpit configurations
• Tool-Free Installation and Removal: The lever-lock mechanism allows pilots to attach and remove the mount in under 30 seconds — ideal for renters who cannot leave equipment in club aircraft
• Full Flex Arm Adjustability: Three-joint single-knob arm provides the same infinite positioning capability as the suction cup models — position the device above, below, or offset from the yoke as needed
• 20g Shock Certified: The clamp base withstands the same g-loading as all MGF Sport Mounts
• Customer Note: Some users on specific aircraft (C172S) report that the plastic lever component can wear under repeated heavy-tightening loads; MGF covers this under warranty
