The TwelveSouth stuff is generally really well made. I've used a few of their products overs the years and have never had issues. They ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Very Nice stand. Tempted to splurge when/if it hits Amazon and use some points from one of my cards.
But at this point I'm seven years deep into stands/arms/holders from TheJoyFactory don't know if its worth it.
Really like their carbon fiber and locking mechanisms.

I have something like this for my iPad mini. I use it on Zoom calls while reclining with a drawing of a🍸. The extender arm is a lot longer, tho. I'm 100 percent positive it did not cost as much as the 12 south, but it was a gift, so ??🍸😸
Just because you don't think a product is something you wouldn't buy does that automatically assign it a value of 'crap'?
I'm sure some people will really find a use for something like this, not sure I will but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
'too unstable' - I presume this statement comes from your own testing of the product right?
Do it then, post the results on here for scrutiny.
Been watching this one for $30.

I would like somebody to recreate the iMac G4 experience, only with an iPad Pro:
- Let me attach the iPad magnetically
- Let me use the USB-C port to get access to other ports in the rear (like a hub)
- Let me charge the iPad
- Free-flowing, easily positioned arm to adjust the height and viewing angle
I don’t really see the point of this if you have a Magic Keyboard attached to the iPad. If you don’t then that’s a whole different story.
None of those are remotely close to the one by Twelve South. The Twelve South model has more points of articulation and degrees of freedom.

You can't adjust the height though. That's crucial for me.

That hunk of junk. Looks so 1990.
Sure it has all those ports but I don't need all that crap and ridiculous price point. Takes away from the clean simple aesthetic of the ipad pro.
I think the twelve south gadgets are very well built... I do have the Hover Bar 3 with a twistable hose-like metal-rings thing up to the older iPad Airs. It’s sturdy and heavy, feels pretty much indestructible, but it’s still a bit ugly nevertheless.
Eyeing this one since it’s a clamp so, at the device’s side of the mount, it would work with anything.
However, if I were to use this as an iPad Pro holder next to an imac, in landscape mode for use with sidecar (which I like a lot)... there’s no place to put the pen? The clamps seems to be in the way.
