I have the same setup with an ASUS 8" tablet. If you just use the hangers, your tablet is in almost the same plane as the antenna supports, putting the antennae direction at right angle to the optimal viewing angle. So if the MA2 is far away and low, you have to point the antennae at it and that makes it very hard to seen the tablet screen without having to bend over it. Not only that, a sunscreen works worse in that attitude. The adapter mount makes it possible to adjust the viewing angle for best result while keeping the antennae pointed where you want them.
This cable works perfectly for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 1_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There is a problem with either method however. The clamps on the MA2 remote are not very strong in pull force. So the heavier and larger tablet and mount (of any kind) can easily become loose from the RC. I solved that by using a small long machine screw , large plastic washers and a wing nut to fasten the mount to the antennae rails.
