I have a 12.9" iPad Pro (5th gen) with a case and Apple Pencil and was in search of a portable stand that I can carry with me for gigs. Up to this point, I've hauled around a traditional Manhasset stand but wanted something far more portable, yet durable. I was leary of a number of tablet stands that are available online for much cheaper (think big online retailer with 2-day shipping for members) and I didn't have confidence that some of those would hold up reading some reviews as I didn't want to risk my iPad to be knocked over or slip out of the stand onto the ground. I came across this $80+ setup on the GC website and after 5 minutes of playing with this, this portable stand is absolutely SOLID. What I like about this is the height of the stand extends to as high as 5 feet excluding the tablet attachment, that the attachment allows tilting toward you or away, and also that the attachment can pivot to allow your tablet to be used in portrait or landscape mode. Aside from using this as a music stand for your digital sheet music on a tablet, this would also be handy for videoconferencing or even using a tablet as a digital sign/display. Any application where you need your hands free and want your tablet stand to be elevated above the floor will work just fine. The build quality, especially the stand, is durable yet a tad heavy for my taste. The attachment is lightweight and I have yet to lug this around with it being new but it seems like both will work well paired together no matter where you go either at home or away. The stand itself compacts down to 18 inches which might stick out of a backpack, so just be aware. I'm very happy with this stand and wanted to be the first to share my experience with other similar gig musicians who are in search of that right portable stand. I'm very confident that my tablet is safe because this stand is very sturdy, yet portable. Definitely recommend!
