Recommended Tablet Holders and How to Choose!

As more people own iPads and tablets, it seems that many are starting to play instruments with digital sheet music. Many people place their tablets on music stands, but if the balance is even slightly off, the tablet can easily fall, resulting in a disastrous situation. To prevent such mishaps, let me introduce our recommended tablet holders!

Compatible Holders

First, what should you be careful about when choosing a tablet holder? The key is whether your tablet can be properly attached to the holder. Additionally, compatibility is generally confirmed without a case, so if you want to use it with a case on, you need to be careful.

To check if your tablet is compatible, start by knowing the height, width, and thickness of your tablet!
For example, the dimensions of the iPad Air (1st generation) are 240mm height × 169.5mm width × 7.5mm thickness. Based on these dimensions, here are some options:

CLASSIC PRO / CHT30

K&M / 19795 Tablet Holder

K&M / 19744

K&M / 19766

IK Multimedia / iKlip 3 Video

There are many different manufacturers and types available.

Next, consider how to choose among them. For instance, check if the arm of the holder interferes with the button on your tablet.

Mounting Methods

Now that you know which holders are compatible, let’s decide how to mount them! Here are some mounting methods.

Suction Cup Type

Can be attached to flat surfaces like windows, making it useful for guidance at event venues.

Clamp Type

Can be attached to poles, allowing you to use it with a mic stand in order to use the tablet as a digital sheet music. It doesn’t take up much space, so it’s recommended.

Mic Stand Mount Type

Can be attached to the top of a mic stand, serving as a substitute for a music stand.

Desktop Type

Can be placed on a desk, making it very convenient for watching videos. It’s also recommended as a stand for the increasingly popular smart registers.

Choose the type that suits your needs!

Bonus: Handy Accessories!

K&M / 19708

This is a tablet holder that can be attached to steel music stands and similar items! The holder part has a strong magnet, allowing you to fix your tablet or smartphone by attaching it to the four corners.
You can also attach it to the refrigerator to view recipes while cooking.
This clever item can turn any magnetic surface into a tablet holder.

CLASSIC PRO / CHM10 Smartphone Stand

This is an aluminum smartphone stand. It folds compactly and can hold any smartphone. Personally, I use it to place a tuner (^^♪
