Gewa Tablet Holder 7" - 10,1"

Ik heb verschillende iPad's gebruikt als mijn "muziek" tablet en ze pasten allemaal zonder enig probleem. Het voordeel is dat bij deze net iets dunner of dikker niet uitmaakt. Ook een iPad mini past er prima in. Bovendien neemt hij weinig ruimte in op de microfoonstandaard (dat is vooral handig bij het vervoer, ik laat hem standaard er op zitten en draai hem dan zo dat hij in dezelfde richting zit als de microfoonstandaard).

The tablet holder clips on to just about any mic stand provided by the various venues I play at, and it's nice and stable so my iPad stays in place. While I would have liked if it could be less bulky when collapsed, I have absolutely no complaints about the functionality of the product. It does what it sets out to do just fine, and I'd get another in the unlikely event that mine fails on me.

The item does what it says on the packet, however I feel it would be easy to make this much better due to a few design faults. Why? Well the screw thread to attach the holder onto the mike stand is tapped into mild steel of a lot less than the diameter of the thread. The bracket it is tapped through is more than adequate for the job of holding up the tablet, but too thin (around 3 or 4mm) for the more than ocasional use of the screw. A nut welded to the hole would improve this situation enormously, and a mod I am sure I will have to make before relying on this item for gigging. The thread for holding the actual adjustable holder is quite a large diameter, around 15mm so no worries there, although the actual thread is quite fine. Be carefull if you need to reattach it as it will be easy to cross thread it. The rotation of the holder for vertical/horizontal is a friction affair, and I can see a nut hidden away. Once it goes slack I will need to do a partial dismantle to be able to access this, and I hope the head of the screw is captive as the decorative cover over it seems well attached. The tablet needs to be firmly attached to ensure it does not drop out if you turn the orientation to horizontal. SO make sure you clamp it in tight. Overall I feel that a few minor changes could improve this item enormously. I have given four stars for handling and stability, this is a bit of a guess. Out of the box this is great. After a few weeks of use I am pretty certain it is going to be a bit tricky. As many of us use our tablets for more than just displaying music/lyrics these days the wear and tear is going to impact on the stand quite quickly. I am going to use this until I find something better.
