These days attaching your tablet pc or iPad is an important accessory for the majority of musicians. Before you buy, we’d recommend taking a few minutes to think about what you need: Clip-on holders are great if you already have a good music stand or mic stand (just make sure the stand is robust enough to hold the holder and tablet/ipad/phone). If you need the whole thing, a tripod or solid base stand with a holder for your tablet instead of a desk to hold your sheet music, do you want a gooseneck stand, which is very flexible in terms of the viewing angle, or the more traditional style height adjustable stand? If you have a device with a large screen, the clips can sometimes be quite difficult to attach, so we would recommend you check the spec before buying to make sure it will comfortably hold your device. They all have landscape and portrait positions, but sometimes the clips mean you can’t always attach your Apple pencil (or equivalent) at the same time. Not a big issue, but…
We’ve yet to find a cheap stand we can recommend, so unless you have and old or really cheap tablet, or a good insurance policy and don’t really mind if it gets broken, is it really worth taking the risk?
