Works. A bit fussy, but better than my old one.

I like to photograph/video my work, in process, so I keep my tablet handy (also to listen to videos while I work). I had one of those bendy-arm tablet holders, which was way too stiff, and short, to be of any value, and it constantly fell over if I pushed it too far in the direction of the screw base, as it would just loosen the screw, and fall over. This doesn't work the same way, so I figured it would be great. And it is better. It doesn't unscrew, & it's a lot easier to push out of the way, when not in use. Unfortunately, it is not great to take pics with, as it won't stay in position. In an effort to allow users to view from any height, they made a super loose connection at the first ball joint, so when you move the swing arm, the tablet maintains it's dangling, upright position. I suppose that would be good, if I was just watching from a seated position, however I gotta think that's not good for folks in bed, or for me, who wants to aim it down to take pictures. I have to hold it in position to take the pics, which renders videos useless, since I can't really work with just one hand. The price was good for two, & it will work well for my other tablet, which I only watch videos on, but it's not good for taking pics, unless you only want to take pics of things directly in back of it - straight on. Table top viewing is not going to happen, unless you provide a hand to hold it. Pros: * Sturdy metal base clamp. (probably aluminum = non magnetic) * Arm re-positions easily. * Stays where you put it. Cons: * Dangles to keep tablet always in upright position. * Not in love with the holder. Uses clamp on back, but forces you to tighten screws in back to keep tablet pushed forward for a better grip. I worry about the pressure points in back, since there is no way to know if I've screwed it too tight, or not tight enough... until it's broken, or falls out. The phone holders that come with it are much better. They offer a nice clamping feature from the sides, with a single press to release button. No screws to tighten, no clamps to fiddle with blind. Wish the tablet grips were as good as the phone grips.
