iPad Microphone Stand

We have recently set up the Rare Star iPad for music apps and one of the key reasons why the iPad is such a useful machine for music | audio production, practice or performance is that its size, weight, portability and flexibility are so improved in comparison with a lap or desk top computer. The first thing any guitarist, drummer or instrumentalist will usually want to do is attach their iPad to a music stand – securely.

Here are the best iPad mounts, attachments and microphone stand adapters:

TheGigEasy iPad Mount

TheGigEasy Mic Stand Mount attaches your iPad to any microphone stand and uses spring-loaded arms to grip the iPad securely. The housing also features 360º rotation, to move from landscape to portrait viewing modes and a tilt mechanism  for one-handed adjustment of the iPad’s viewing angle. There is also a side mount extension arm that clamps to any tubing up to 1 1/4” in diameter which means if you are a drummer you can fix your iPad to your kit.

Gig Easy also produce a host of other iPad mounts including flexible mic stand mounts, suction cup, Manhasset, and flex clamps. No matter where you play or make music you can still take your iPad.
