Overpriced and under-built.
by White Knuckle from USA
Pros: Good idea.
Cons: Poor execution.
Review: This would be a great product IF it was half the cost and/or twice as thick.
Really my only complaint is the thickness of the plastic. It's VERY thin and flimsy. While I don't think it'll break in the cockpit, I'll be astounded if it survives a year in my flight bag. And for more than $20 shipped that's a lot for what is nothing more than a bent piece of plastic.
On the plus side, it does what it advertises. Seems to hold a stopwatch at a good angle for easy viewing. I had to trim about an inch off the bottom to get it to fit well in my Hendrix 9-G kneeboard, but it should be just fine for a regular sized kneeboard.

Perfection on your knee!
by Charles from San Jose, CA
Pros: Cost, idea, materials
Cons: May bump controls if you are tall. Get the XT too.
Review: I have both the XT and the TiMount. Actually, both come in handy for different situations. I use the TiMount when I fly CFI/Left Seat and then the XT when I'm flying right. I have found that, since I'm taller, the XT works better in the right seat with the Robinson's T-Bar cyclic.

Pure Awesomeness
by Christopher from Richmond TX USA
Pros: Puts the timer right by your hand
Cons: Not as sturdy as it can be
Review: Great piece of ingenuity. It is a little wobbly with a heavier timer, but that does not impair your ability to ready the timer. I use the ASA Flight Timer, and they are an awesome pair. The start/stop button is right there by my left hand, so I do not have to take my attention or my collective hand away from the approach for more than 2 secs to start/stop or reset the timer(I'm a helicopter pilot). Fits any kneeboard. I use the trifold IFR board from ASA.

Not my candidate!
by Hector from Guaynabo PR USA
Pros: Mounting tape is excellent.
Cons: Positioning: Gets covered by the joke.
Review: I have bought both timers mounts and consider the side one a better gamble. This one has no pre-drilled holes to make it stable. The timers is difficult to see because it gets way pass the yoke. On the right leg, the light is reflected on top of the timer. The only things worth mentioning is its ability to be used in many kneeboards, instead of the fixed-ring one.

kneeboard timer mount
by John from Marina Del Rey CA USA
Pros: Good construction and very handy
Cons: Wish there was one with the timer on the right side, as sometimes it interferes with the yoke.
Review: Great product for IFR work. I can have my stopwatch/timer right on my kneeboard next to my charts. Always have it with me, no matter what plane I am flying.
