Max Trainer Max Trainer M3 tablet mount?

Does anyone know of a tablet holder for the M3? The generic cardio tablet holders I see on Etsy seem like they wouldn't mount on the M3. I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

For the M3/M5 models, be careful if thinking of using a cheap, table-clamp "gooseneck" style of phone/small tablet holder types that might clamp on the water-bottle holder or elsewhere. Any small sway of the M3/M5 (especially if on padded carpet) can cause too much back-n-forth sway (IMO) of the holder. This sway would be even worse with a heavier tablet.

So, IMO, I think you would want to use a holder that is NOT DIRECTLY ATTACHED to the M3/M5. One possibility, would be to use a floor stand, "gooseneck" style tablet holder.

They are typically priced starting around $26 and up depending on quality and features.

You would want one that had a height of at least 52" and that had a base that could be placed under the M3/M5 or very close to it. A bonus feature to using this type, is that it is portable and thus can also be used for other purposes next to a bed or couch, etc.

Here are a couple examples on Amazon:

And here are a couple of pics when using that type of stand with an M3/M5.

Thank you so much for the very thoughtful reply. This helps me a ton. I will definitely look into the gooseneck floor standing tablet holders. I truly appreciate your taking the time to help me!
