Double Bass Tablet holder recommentations?

[s van order]

I use the Neewer with my Surface Pro 13”. This will work with a 10” as well.

And the three section telescoping mic stand from K&M for a more compact transport.

+1 on the Neewer, bgt off Amazon. Handles my iPad Pro 12.9 easily

I use the iKlip3.

It is pretty good. The spring grip works on the sides instead of the corners, both in portrait or landscape mode. I can't say it is better than the others, as I have not used the others. I do need 2 hands to load and unload the tablet in the clip, and I have to be careful the spring grip does not pinch my hands.

I find it works best when the iPad is out of its case. With the iPad is inside the case I have for it, this iKlip 3 works, but not that well. One thing to consider if you have your iPad in a case.

Follow up: Santa got me the Hercules. I guessed correctly that it comes apart, and I only need the ball joint clamp to go directly onto a standard mic stand, which is nominally 5/8 inch diameter.

Love these. I still need to check and see if it fits a iPad Pro 12.9. It was a stretch on the 9.5”

All-knowing Google says the 12.9 is 8.5 inches wide. The Hercules will stretch that far, to hold the tablet by its sides like in my picture. Don't know if it can hold the big iPad corner to corner.

Fits on the sides. Holds firmly, but gets in the way of the pencil magnet. No biggy, I’d lose it on a gig anyway

I configured a mic stand setup for my phone, which controls a Soundcraft Ui24R mixer, and my tablet, which displays charts and lyrics. Both holders have rock-solid connectors to the pole so there's no sway. Nice!

Been using this On-Stage TCM1500 the past year with my 13" iPad no problems:

The threads started to strip after putting it on and taking it off the mic stand too many times.

I use a “mic quick disconnect” - leave all the threaded parts together. A button press releases the attachment from the stand

Just a follow-on: The tablet that I showed above bit the dust. The screen got a crack going all the way across it. It might have happened in my gig bag, loading out. It stopped working at all. Fortunately I back up all of my files. And in a separate incident, a band mate cracked his tablet when his stand blew over in the wind.

I got a new tablet, an Android. I'm happy with it, but now it lives permanently in a black rubbery protector that I got for a few bucks, and I'm a bit more careful with it.

Hope it's not too late for an update. Since my last post, three things happened.

1. The Windows tablet fell and broke. It had been a freebie, so I wasn't heartbroken, but I was convinced that a tablet is useful.

2. I bought a Lenovo Tab P11 tablet, which was an inexpensive 11" Android tablet, and have been using it for more than a year.

3. I just got a 13" iPad Air as a gift from my employer for good behavior.

The Hercules holder won't safely hold the 13" iPad, when the iPad is in a case, which I recommend. So I got a König & Meyer 19766 tablet holder. I ordered it from Amazon, but it came from Sweetwater. It's nice and secure, and threads directly onto a standard mic stand.

Here's the case I got for the iPad, recommended by my son:

Since I've now used a number of different technologies, I'll share my opinions. I'm now convinced that the big iPad with Apple Pencil and ForScore app is the gold standard for the classical musicians (including music students), for good reason. My kids are both professional classical players, and "you can observe a lot by just watching." This is the only setup that I see at classical performances. Aside from the iPad being big enough to read their dense charts, the Apple Pencil is superior to anything for any other platform. And the classical charts get covered with markings, from what I've seen.

But for a lot of other kinds of work, a smaller, cheaper tablet, can be just fine. There are smaller iPads. You don't need a 13" screen for iRealPro, or even for real book charts if you're only reading the chord symbols. There is a drawback to the size and cost of the Apple. I have seen three tablets get destroyed at gigs. The classical players are a lot more careful with their gear, but stuff gets knocked around at jazz gigs, and I'm usually focused on protecting my instrument, not my "gear". The Lenovo tablet is still a bargain.

I’ve had my Hercules tablet holder for over a year now and it holds my iPad Pro 13” in the case just fine. You might have a bulky case, but mine fits in fine. I will say it is easier to get in without the pencil, which I slide into my pocket before we start. I will also admit, my gigs and fellow musicians are really good about moving about on the stage. I might of gotten a little hot with my trumpet player when he nearly stepped on my bass when it was on its side on the ground. Everyone else took note.

That’s also the same case I have
