    Terrific

    Love the idea of the design and will make use of it BUT (1) comes with the most ridiculous set of instructions that make no sense and (2) the rolling ball that allows the iPad holder to rotate just rolls all over the place and tilts all the time. Will not hold a position. Checked every photo and instruction I could find on line but nothing worked. So bottom line was an old fall-back called black duck tape! Now it works. But seeing that it just arrived yesterday, I should not have to resort to duck tape.UPDATE: Talked to customer service and turns out there was a piece missing which they are sending me immediately at no charge. Could not have been more helpful so am changing my rating to 5 stars. What a relief to get actual people on the line who know their product and take care of any issues asap.

    This product arrived earlier than expected. Packaging had a great presentation and felt like it contained a premium product. Price points a little high for what I normally buy, but with the second mount it seems worth it. I happen to be paraplegic and it’s great having one mount clamp to my wheelchair and then I have the second one on my desk or nightstand. I did end up with a problem in the company really stayed behind the product and really took care of me. So far I’ve had it for three months and I’m extremely happy with how everything is working out. Like anything that’s adjustable. It might start to loosen up. I’m so happy with it. I’m looking into some of twelveSouth’s other products.

    I've tried everything from an iPhone 12 Pro to a 1st-gen iPad Pro (12.9") and this arm was able to handle the weight without any droop. However, the jaws do not open wide enough to handle a 1st/2nd gen 12.9" iPad Pro WITH the keyboard cover in place (just need another 1/4"). The more recent versions of the 12.9" have narrower bezels and should fit even with the cover installed.

    Sturdieness/stability is good enough for watching videos, browsing, and some moderate touch interaction. However, if you're primarily doing drawing with this, the stand may not be steady enough. One good trick though: the groove on the base may be intended to hold your Apple Pencil stylus, but it also serves as a good place to position the bottom edge of your tablet if you want greater stability (see attached picture).

    Construction is among the best of the holders I've tried. While some reviews have mentioned some concerns about the plastic base, it's actually a metal base with a plastic shell. The arms are fully metal (but do have some plastic inserts that seem to be mostly cosmetic). The arm swivels in the base and the bracket swivels on the end of the arm. Note that there is a drop-down notch in the bracket swivel; you will need to rotate the bracket swivel to position that notch to get to certain positions.

    My only real complaint is the bracket itself. It is plastic with some rubber inserts to protect the surface/edges of your tablet. I don't object to the plastic; it's use helps the stand handle the bigger/heavier tablets by reducing the net weight that must be supported by the arm. The plastic seems to be of good quality. What I have a concern about is the spring mechanism within the bracket. The feel of the bracket as you open the jaws is a bit rough and cheap feeling, especially in contrast to the build quality of the other parts of this holder. Time will tell how this holds up, but I think that internal spring mechanism is the weak point in this product most likely to fail.

    Overall, this is probably the best of 4 different tablet holders I've purchased from Amazon. It's expensive, but of the ones I tried offers the highest build quality and supports the widest range of tablet sizes.

    Not too sure about the negative reviews using this stand with a iPad 12.9. I’m mounting my iPad with a thin TPU case and it fits nice and tight and still with a little extra room if you should have a little thicker case. Set up tool about 2 minutes and I didn’t have to tighten any of the joints with the included hex wrenches. No drooping at all, my iPad stays in place no matter what position I use, landscape or portrait. I’m typing this review on the stand and there is very, very little shaking. Just a great beautiful stand and I recommend it for whatever iPad you may have.

    This seems like such a great idea, and it is if you never need to change the arm angles. If you do, the joints loosen up and falls down, upon which you’ll have to retighten. You’ll need to reach for one of those stupid little Allen wrenches, which is very inconvenient.

    Why they couldn’t put in little knobs on these places instead, is beyond me. I used to have something similar in a desk lamp that had arms and could be clamped down, but also the arm angles could be infinitely adjusted. That was 30 years ago in college. You’d think that could be done today. But no.

    So for as expensive this is, I give it one (1) star. Nice idea. Poorly executed.

    In the wake of the M1, which invalidated my old triple-27 inch monitor setup, I've been relying on Sidecar more and more. I can use ordinary stands for the iPad, which work well enough, but they take up a lot of desk space. This new stand from Twelve South is a much better alternative, particularly if you're using the desk clamp.

    It's very adjustable, it feels sturdy, the clamping power is very high (almost too high, actually, it's a bit of a pain to get the iPad Pro 12.9 in and out, but at least it's not going to fall out), and even if you don't use the desk clamp, the desk footprint is minimal and the base can have things placed on top of it. Personally, I put a HomePod under it and run the iPad audio through that.

    It does shake quite a bit when using touch interfaces, so that's something to keep in mind if you're constantly touching your iPad as opposed to using it in Sidecar or with a keyboard and mouse; I think that's just fundamentally true of any similar design though.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not Gen 2

    There’s a significant design and. OST difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 of this product. Gen 2 has a quick change clamp while Gen 1 needs an Allen key to swap over. These were very explicitly marketed as Gen 2 and were not. By the looks of things someone else had also been tried with this scheme and, like me, returned this misrepresented purchase. A waste of my time and of postage delivery. Only plus side is Amazon is great about returns.

    I loved this for the first 5 months, but one of the plastic pieces that holds it in place broke after about 5 months.

    I sent pictures and a description of what happened to Twelve South and they shipped out a replacement under the warranty. I was really disappointed when it happened, but I'm now just pretty impressed by the high-quality customer service.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Si esta genial pero... si tienes IPAD de 12.9 OLVIDALO

    El producto es bueno!

    Pero en los video y en los review que ves por todos lados en youtube, jamas lo proeban con las de 12.9 o almenos con la version mini led.

    la calidad del producto es muy buena, materiales resistentes, muy poco plástico, tienes dos modalidades el CLAMB que es una tipo pinza que puede apretar casi en cualquier superficie y con la base. el cambio de modalidad puede ser algo tedioso, ya que se requiere la lleve allen (includa) mi idea era poder moverla entre la oficina y mi casa (cocina) de manera facil, pero no es asi, es el proceso tan largo que prefiero solo dejar el ipad con su funda y no cambiar la base.

    Tiene muchisimos angulos, en cada angulo dependiendo el peso de ipad tendras que apretar unos tornillos para que no se muevan, aqui entra el problema del ipad pro de 12.9 de la mayoria de los angulos el peso del ipad , por mas que aprietes vence el brazo de soporte y el ipad terminan bajandose o cambiandose de lugar, la base entera no cae solo el brazo no puede con el peso y se mueve, aun que en la publicidad dice que sirve para el ipad mas grande, en teoria si sirve pero solo en algunos puntos o angulos, no tienes la misma libertad que tendrias si tuvieras un ipad mas pequeño.

    En resumen es un stand o soporte algo CARO pero si tienes un ipad que no sea el 12,9 creo que te va a venir super bien, la calidad es enverdad muy buena! ahora si tienes el ipad grande, evita gastar el dinero por que vas a terminar muy frustrado.

    Em primeiro lugar, um elogio à Mobimax Brasil, que me vendeu o produto e providenciou para que ele fosse entregue dentro do prazo. Quando ao suporte, ele é tudo que promete. Produto muito bem construído e muito bem acabado e (super importante) pesado, por ser todo ele feito em metal sólido. Para quem trabalha com um tablet, esse stand é tudo e mais um pouco. Recomendo verem um dos muitos reviews dele que tem no YouTube.
