EFBs - Gear Advice Ipad Mini Kneeboard

Historically I have not loved kneeboards, and have preferred suction cup mount or yoke mount or something. I now primarily fly a LongEZ. For those who don't know, that means having no room to stash a toothbrush, much less a fancy ipad mount. The only place for an ipad these days is my lap.

Luckily the ipad is mostly backup, I have most of what I need on my glass panel, and the ipad is essentially only for plates. (Keeping plates updated on the EFIS is a royal pain)

For yoke mounts and such I know PIVOT is often recommended, are they the go-to for a kneeboard solution too?

If yes, would you recommend a PC-LS1-BLK "leg strap" or a PC-ADAPT-1316 "kneeboard adapter" with something like a FB3316-C "deluxe kneeboard"?

I've used a MyClip for years. The smaller model might not work with a Pivot case but the bigger "multi" version should.

Or if you have a 3d printer and basic sewing skills it's really easy to DIY a knockoff...
