Wow! You like that universal X grip? I tried one and actually threw it out the window
Mine works great. OP I might have one for sale soon that would work great with your 182. A ram x-grip for mini with yoke mount. Got an ipad pro for xmas. Let me get back to you tonight, I am not sure if its in my flight bag or the hangar.

This works a whole lot better if you want to keep the case on at all times:

I've got a spare one I can sell you. Went back to using my Mini without the case, so it just sits in my flight bag at the hangar.
Cheers,

It's spring loaded and puts pressure on the top and bottom of the iPad. The upper and lower channels surround the iPad versus the X grip that only touches the sides at 4 points allowing it to potentially slip. It's rock solid, even in turbulence. I had an X grip for my iPhone 6 and it get slipping out in light bumps.
Cheers,

I'm planning on screwing a 1" ram ball to the lid of an otterbox defender case. That assembly will attach to a V-shape base with hose clamp thing (also 1" ball) via a 1" double socket.
That way the yoke mount assembly will hold my ipad mini in while in the otterbox defender.

Is it a no-no to attach such a mount directly to the panel?

I'd have see it to understand what you would need or plan of attachment. Some have empty instrument holes that sure seem reasonable to screw blank plate into with a ball or something on it.

That's exactly what I had in mind.

I have been using this for almost 2 years. Bought an additional RAM extension. Works fantastic. I have it mounted so that it comes out from under the yoke and does not block from view any of the panel gauges. Used it in both my Cherokee Six and my 310.

Outstanding customer service, very good product. Works great in my 182. Can't recommend it enough.
