iPad Pro Looking for ROBUST adjustable stand/tripod mount

[riverfreak]

All the existing tripod mounts I’ve seen are cheap plastic. Sufficiently sturdy, but a pain to adjust, say, the angle.

I’m looking for a tripod mount that has a pro level fit and finish. ideally, it would have some sort of quick release mechanism, a sturdy ball head with a bomber handle for adjusting the tilt. Something along the lines of a prosumer video camera tripod, with smooth motion panning. That level of functionality and sturdiness, but for an iPad.

Surely there is something out there but all I can find are the $20 cheapos on the website named after a River in South America.

Suggestions?

I haven’t used this particular product, but I have an aluminum smartphone mount from the same company.

If you‘re seeking stability, I’d take a hard look at metal mounts, especially on such a large device as a tablet. My Ulanzi iPhone mount is aluminum and once you crank it down, it’s very secure.

The other nice thing about the product linked above is that it has an Arca Swiss dovetail on it, for your desired quick detach functionality. It doesn’t look like it comes with a ball head/etc, so you‘d need to get that separately if you don’t have one already.

A few reviews question how well it works on a 12.9, so the clamps might not be wide enough for the bigger iPad.
