Abstract

An adjustable and portable mounting system for a tablet computing device and solar based charging system is described. An example mounting system for a tablet computing device includes a tablet enclosure with a plurality of gripping portions adjustable to hold tablets with different sizes and shapes, and each gripping portion is configured to grip a corner of the tablet computing device. The mounting system further includes an adjustable solar panel support, which is pivotally attached to the tablet enclosure and where a solar panel placed within the support can be configured to provide trickle charging to the tablet and to orient 360 degrees about three axes of rotation. The mounting system also includes a table stand, which is mounted to the tablet enclosure and provides support of the tablet computing device on a flat surface with a wide range of viewing angles. The mounting system also includes a connector configured to couple to a tripod stand mount, or a similar device.
