Shown above is the striped down version, making it the cheapest. The main pole is height adjustable, offering a height of 46-inch to 60-inch for your device. The mount is a bit unconventional in that it uses a diagonal clamp versus a vertical one. As the mount is universal, it will take any tablets from 7-inch to 14-inch. That includes iPad mini to iPad Pro 12.9, iPad Air and more. It is worth noting that while you can rotate the device for landscape or portrait viewing, it has a more rigid joint to the gooseneck and therefore, relies on the gooseneck completely for the rotating action.

It means that the tablet when seated will not be able to face down as it will hit the pole itself. The 4 segment telescopic pole is height adjustable. For each segment you go from 20.5-inch to 33.4-inch to 60-inch tall. Obviously you can stop anywhere in between to suit you.

The solid rodes make up 34.2-inch of the height while the gooseneck measures 20-inch long for a total of 54-inch. We won’t recommend this for places with high traffic for fear of being knocked over. This is because it relies on two floor base support rods. There are instructions on how to make the floor base more stable, inserting sand into the rod being one of them. The tablet clamp will take 8-12.9-inch devices but more suited for tablets up to 10-inch. Only get this if you have a need for an ultra compact stand that you can take a part and put away.
