| Peavey’s Tablet Mounting System offers a flexible way to mount your iPad on stage. |
AT SOME POINT, YOUR MOBILE device will be stationary—like using your
iThingie on stage, or sitting down and
recording—so you’ll want to protect it
from the thousands of screaming fans
mobbing the stage (or an over-enthusiastic
pooch).
IK Multimedia’s iKlip 2 for iPad holds
an iPad securely to mic stands up to 1.2”
in diameter (there’s also an iKlip 2 for
iPad mini), and uses a ball joint so you
can twist it to pretty much any angle you
want. For iPhones, Primacoustic offers
the TelePad (with two versions for different
iPhone and iPod Touch devices).
This also attaches to a mic stand, with a
cradle you can rotate and angle as needed.
But perhaps the most important feature
is a quick-release mechanism so you can easily remove the iPhone from the stand
between sets. IK’s iKlip Mini also holds
iPhones, but has the added feature of a
detachable bracket for holding their iRig
guitar interface.
Ultimate Support’s higher-end Hyper-
Pad 5-in-1 Stand has a pole clamp for
attaching to a mic stand or pole, but also
mounts on the top of a mic stand with
a 5/8" adapter and gooseneck arm for
adjustability. A different clamp can attach
to the edge of tables. Finally, Peavey’s
rugged Tablet Mounting System attaches
to mic stands, but also has an adapter to
work with mic-stand threads, and can
accommodate keyboard stands or tripods.
One thing is for sure—any of these will
make you feel a little more secure about
taking your iThingie out into the world.
