Extra Tall iPad Stand

[Hallstar]

Can anyone recommend a tall stand that is sturdy enough to hold an iPad Pro 12.9 so that the bottom edge of the iPad is at least 8" from the desktop?

My brother has this and he loves it. So many applications for it, business or entertainment.

What are the springs like to open it. I have one from twelve south and I like it but man it's like trying to open the jaws of some animal trying to get it open and sticking in the iPad pro.

He has an iPad Pro 11. Never heard him complain about “the jaws”, always just that he likes it and has used it for many purposes. Only complaint is that it could be a little more portable.

My brother said he has no problem with the jaws. I read several of the user reviews and one of them was using this with a 14" portable monitor.

Thank you, it's a nice-looking device and even looks like it's high enough where one could be sitting on the couch and still use it effectively.

After going through many different options over they years, I now use a monitor arm and a VESA tablet mount.

For the arm, I recommend using one of the cheaper ones that just has segments and no gas spring. The iPad isn't heavy enough to allow the gas spring to function correctly. You can't "float" the iPad at an arbitrary height and have to use it alway-the-way up or all-the-way down. And the all-the-way down position is tenuous and might pop all-the-way up on you.

Here is the one I use. I use only two of the three segments of the pole. You might not need something even that tall, so one of the cheaper, shorter options may be better.

I also only use one segment of the horizontal arm.

This is the tablet mount I use currently. It's the best I've found so far.

I also use some nylon r clips on the back of the mount for cable management.
