Zappy: Sorry to say for your particular situation..no, you cannot access the tablet's screen if you take your hand off the rc with the tablet mount set up normally. However, you might be able to orient the tilt of the tablet itself so that when it is dangling, the display can be accessed. Beyond that eye deer, you might want to investigate fabricating something that you can wear around your waist that is held in place with a harness that is properly tethered to it and that will hold the whole rig stationary in front of you.
