    I love this thing
    Pros

    Heck I bought this one because I worried about misplacing the one I have had and used for some time. It is like having a third hand and is the only thing that never got in my way.

    Cons

    zero zip nada

    Works as shown. I have 2. One as a spare and one to clip on to iPad case (why buy another gadget?). Very useful for holding charts, checklists, etc.

    there is another one of these called 'the third hand' or some such name on the market. with a very thick, beefy elastic strap and hook that looks durable. the item i received was a flimsy copy. the elastic strap is 1/2 the width of the other brand, will likely not last and the tiny tin hook looks like something that was found at the bottom of a sewing kit. I realize that this is a very simple low-tech item, but at least should be of quality that gives a pilot confidence. Although, this will probably work, it is NOT the one I was expecting, and is certainly NOT as good as others that I have seen pilots use before

    Was looking for a "strap" that had a clear second strap that went over the approach plate/map but couldn't find one and had to settle for the metal "clip-type" holder.

    FAA CPL/IFR and JAA CPL using this piece of equipment on both sides of the Atlantic - perfectly holds VFR sectionals in bumpy conditions ; also keeps your kneeboard in place. A good piece of kit that helps keep your cockpit organized.

    Simple and effective.

    Seems a little flimsy, though since I've only used it a few times so far, it's too early to pass judgement.

    General Comments

    Very handy. I strap my kneeboard to my right leg and this to my left. It's ideal for holding my checklist, or an en-route chart. Keeps me from dropping stuff on the floor now that my trument training has increased the number of things to juggle in the cockpit.
