What is going on everyone?
I am Mike and welcome back to Tech 24/7 TV.
I'm glad to have you back with me today because we are talking
about iPad stands.
Now, that's the thing that really everyone wants, but the
really hard to find because a lot of them are they're
cheaper or chintzy.
They may not be manufactured well and they
don't necessarily last.
But I am a connoisseur of iPad stands.
I would say that not a joking matter because I probably have
about ten of them at this point.
Now, there are no different standing depending on
what you're doing.
You might want one stand versus the other because it's just
maybe it's going to be more applicable, more in terms
of being purpose-built.
And in today's video, we're going to go ahead and
look at my favorite stand for the iPad.
It's going to cover the iPad Pro and any other iPad
that you have.
So let's get started.
This is the Satechi Aluminum Desktop Stand, and this is
going to sound nerdy, right?
This is my favorite desktop stand for the iPad.
Now I say that because I love stands.
I don't know what it is.
I just have 10 different stands around the house and I really
use them depending on what I may be doing with the iPad.
Well, this is now my favorite one, and this just
came out at CBS and I ordered it as soon as possible because
I was looking to replace my other stain from Satechi.
Now, this is not sponsored by the techie.
I just happen to like the products of this cost.
Forty-five dollars.
It is super thick to seize.
It is one pound, 10 ounces.
So it's very heavy, all machined aluminum.
And what's great about this is not only the weight, it's very
sturdy and it can actually hold any size iPad, including the
twelve point nine inch iPad pro.
Whether it's the fourth generation after generation,
it doesn't matter.
There are two articulating arms here and there's one arm here
on the top which we can talk about first.
This will go ahead and rotate 180 degrees, which is kind of
amazing if you think about it, because it can go anywhere from
I mean, from this way all the way back to this way.
And there is a second articulating arm here at
the bottom, which will take this one hundred
and thirty-five degrees.
It can even fall down flat.
So if you're traveling, you can go ahead and put this inside
of your bag.
What's nice about this is that this entire bottom here is me
lined with rubber.
So when you put this on top of your desk, you shouldn't see a
mark from it.
You shouldn't make up a niks, which is going be good here.
Also this arm here where this is all going to be
lined with rubber.
So on the back of it, where it comes into contact with your
device and along the bottom as well, there is a
pass-through port here at the bottom.
So if you want to go and charge your iPad, so when you stick
your iPad in here, it is safe, sturdy, and there's really no
way to go and have it fall out.
You know, it's just got a really good feel.
It's sturdy.
It's, you know, very hefty, I guess with said Huskie,
maybe it's another way of saying it and it just it feels
good to have your iPad in here.
Now, the reason why I have this on my desk is when I'm using my
macramé and one Mac Mini, I like to go ahead and have a
second display using Sidecar.
And this is to me, the perfect height.
Now, I might not all the time have it
in landscape orientation.
I might flip it around portrait, which is this
is still going to work for.
And I can also rotate this down.
If I want to make a FaceTime call using my iPad.
I certainly can, because sometimes if you have
maybe a MacBook Pro, you have a potato for a webcam, it doesn't
really work that good.
So you can use this, which is going to be great.
You can use this, which is going to be great.
And so overall, it's a really good deal, in my opinion,
for forty-five dollars.
Now, the old stand that it replaced, this is
the uncaught, maybe the previous version.
This is the R1 Hinge Stand from Satechi.
This was my favorite stand up until this point when
this came out.
This is still good though.
I'm going to go and repurpose it now.
Not only will it hold my iPad very securely, not only will it
hold my iPhone securely, but if I want to if I have this
portable display monitor that I use with me sometimes depending
on if I travel for work, which hasn't been lately, but I
still do use it.
You can even use it for this.
Let's say if I wonder if I want to play games with my Nintendo
switch and use this as an external display,
I certainly could.
This is really going to be an all-around killer addition to
any type of, you know, everyday carry or go bag that
you take when you go traveling.
This is really going to be a nice stand for that because it
gives you so much flexibility.
Now, what also what I like about this is just got a nice
feel to it.
So I just want to give you a little input into this.
If you have any questions, let me know in
the comments below.
I Mike and I'll talk to the next one.
