Very sturdy. I have had other mic stand clips for tablets that have broken after just a few uses. This one is super strong. Only had to buy another because I stupidly lost my other one. It’s fairly versatile as well. Both my husband and I use them on our mic stands but we like them positioned differently and they’re pretty easy to manoeuvre.

La grande base en plastique composite lourd pourrait être beaucoup plus élégante et le support pour iPhone pourrait sembler un peu moins précaire, mais je n’ai rien trouvé de mieux pour accueillir un pied de micro vertical. Par exemple, il existe de très nombreux supports d’iPhone pour guidon de vélo, mais aucun d’entre eux n’est adapté au montage vertical.

Very sturdy and pretty good versatility and viewing angle adjustment. It works fine on my older iPad Gen 2 in it’s OtterBox case, as well as with my new iPad Gen 6 in it’s OtterBox case two. It fails to hold my iPad mini in its Pelican case – apparently is to “deep” not allowing the four “grippers” or “claws” sufficient contact to the tablets edges to securely hold it, and it falls out. The four gripping tabs with their soft/pliable ” liner pads” need to be longer to accommodate the deeper protective cases out there on the market being used. The two internal springs that pull the two “claw” ends together also could be stronger, providing a more secure grip on the heavier tablets held when in their protective cases.

As an active musician, I need to make my job as easy as possible when it comes to the tools I need to perform. One way of doing this is to concentrate several items into one. As can be seen in the photo, I am currently using three IK Multimedia iKlip holders. The small iKlip, designed for cell phones, located at the bottom, is great for what it’s designed to do, but does not open quite wide enough for my Line 6 wireless instrument transmitter. Therefore I had to alter it slightly for the transmitter to fit. The standard iKlip is great for my I-pad Mini on the top which I use to control my auxiliary sound inputs, but is a bit too wide at its closed point for the Rolls 351 D.I. box in the center, forcing me to use additional blocks to help hold the D.I. box in place. My thought: IK Multimedia needs an iKlip that works in-between these two sizes. I realize product demand determines product availability, so this explanation is just a thought being offered for future consideration. And, in case you’re wondering why the exposed pole at the very top is not being used, its because it is reserved for your newest iKlip holder for either an I-Pad Pro or a Microsoft Surface that will store by category and display, as needed, all my music lead sheets. In conclusion, I know there are other holders available from other manufacturers, but in my humble opinion, the IK Multimedia iKlips are the best. Two thumbs up!

I’d been looking for an iPad mini holder so that I can watch TV and read while recovering from a hip replacement. After much research, and buying another product at the same time I got this one, I can report that this one works great! It’s easy to use, holds the device tightly, and rotates as needed. The only wish I have is that there could be a quick release knob so that I can get the iPad mini out quickly — it’s a bit tight as is and all of the surfaces are smooth and hard to push/pull.
I’ll report more later as I use it in the hospital and at home while recovering.
UPDATE: As I’m using it I’m finding that the tiny rubber pads which protect my device as it’s clamped are occasionally falling out. Because I know that at some point they will get lost and be difficult to replace, I’m going to try to epoxy them in place. They are really small.

Me gustó que no necesito quitarle la funda al celular para colocarlo.
Gira en todas las direcciones.
No importa que tan cerca de la orilla lo sujete no suelta el celular.
Ahora lo uso hasta junto a la cama.
Excelente Pedalboard, todo de buena calidad. –

This product needs update as the size of phones has changed. If the user has a protective case on the mobile device, it’s a tight fit. That said, plenty of room for large mic stands. The material used to make the Iklip may cause the user some concern, it seems sturdy enough with respectful use.
I have 2 iKlips for iPad and they function no prob
