Hey all!

I have an iPad Pro (10.5) and I use it for a lot of reading and annotation with an apple pencil. I'm getting tired of holding it, or leaning over it on a desk.

What are the best stands? Mostly I use the iPad in portrait orientation, and the stand doesn't have to be portable - it will always be on my desk.

Thanks!

I have one of these I keep in my bag, it works well.

It comes with wrenches so you can torque the joints down pretty tight. I attached the mount to a vertical surface and the weight of the Ipad holds it pretty good. (I have the 12.9 IPP)
 
Gentlemen, do these also work ok for drawing for you or do you take the iPads out and put them down on a flat surface?
 
Almost any stand will be problematic for drawing if your hand rests against the screen at all.
Ah, thank you for that comment. I'm thinking about getting an artist's easel and figuring out if I can hold the iPad securely in that. All the others seem like they are designed for looking at the iPad rather than pressing against it.
 
Thought Out Stable Pro has a good product $100 and Elevation Lab offers stand for drafting $50.
 
Logitech Logibase

It’s magnetically attached and uses smart connector to charge while in the dock. It’s secure enough to draw or sketch on the screen. The dock has a bit of weight to it...
