iPad mount arm

[JCoe13]

I am a big fan of Twelve South products and particularly have my eye on the HoverBar Duo. One thing I don’t like is that it clamps the iPad instead of using the magnets (or potentially the connector pins). Do these exist?

HoverBar Duo is a flexible arm that includes a desktop base and adjustable shelf clamp. Use it like a multi-tool to get serious creative work done on an iPad.

For anyone interested - I purchased a desk arm for a monitor, VESA plate, iPad folio case and some velcro. With some DIY skills, I can attach everything to create exactly what I was looking for.

Can you link the monitor arm? Thanks!

I have the TwelveSouth HoverBar Duo and the clamp is not a big deal super easy to get in and out and provides flexibility to work with all iPad sizes. Super stable and not worried of it falling etc.

I appreciate the review, and I seriously considered it. Based on how I’m DIY this mount, I can change out the smart folio when I get new iPads.
