It’s a process of discovery, learning the many variations of tension and angles it can achieve. It strongly supports my iPad Pro without any movement whatsoever.

I bought this stand at the start of the pandemic to enable me to work at home. Right away I appreciated the design and flexibility--it was just what I hoped for, to be able to position my large ipad pretty much anywhere at any angle. However, the part that holds the ipad, which screws onto the main arm, wore out after maybe a month. It seemed small and flimsy for such an otherwise sturdy stand, and for holding a large ipad. BUT--customer service came to the rescue, quickly and totally effectively! a) they sent a new part; and b) they gave me an important tip (which maybe I missed or misunderstood in the directions) about making sure the arm is bent such that the screw works WITH gravity instead of against it, so that the weight of the ipad actually helps tighten the connection, rather than weakening the screw. It's been another couple of months now since I got the new part and made this change, and it is working perfectly. It's a great product and I really really appreciate the customer support too!

1.0 out of 5 stars Paint chipped and rusty
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
Considering the money for this product, I am very disappointed. Initially I thought this was good, because it is heavy and felt solid, coming out of the box. But then I noticed significant paint chips, as well as rust. Minor chips I would have accepted, but once I saw the rust, I said no way! Additionally, the knob to hold the boom arm in place does not tighten enough to do the job.

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018

LapWorks is a great company. I ordered it and when it arrived the counter balance was slightly damaged; I think through shipping. The grooves would not fit with the main tube so they wouldn't screw together. I emailed LapWorks and within a few hours they responded. I wanted them to send replacement parts. They had me take some pictures and get more detailed. They responded right away. They just sent me a whole new Sky Crane Pedestal and said they wanted my experience with them to be positive. They told me to just keep the original one and suggested that I could still use it for a smaller device. The Replacement arrived just two days later and they even attached the counter weight to the main tube so that I wouldn't have to deal with any inconvenience. It literally takes two minutes to be up and running with the Pedestal. I use it to hold my Ipad Pro when I paint. It works great, excellent product and a great company, I am impressed.

Does just what it says. Very well built, solid, and stable: The part that holds the tablet is of course plastic so will one day likely have to be replaced but the rest will still be working longer than me. The packaging it arrived in was that cheep weak cardboard and was crushed and full of holes. Fortunately the tablet holder and nobs were well taped to the poles so didn't get lost or damaged. I have the large ipad and it fits perfectly.

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018

The problem arrived defective. The metal bracket that holds the weighted rod is only stamped on one side, so only the non-weighted side stays in the bracket...the weighted side simply pulls out and crashes to the floor. Very poor quality, and a very simple quality control check would have prevented it being shipped this way.
I called Amazon customer service, and they gave me options. I could have dealt with the vendor/manufacturer myself to try to get it resolved. But being a reasonably handy guy, I figured I could repair it myself by just drilling a hole in each side and using screws to hold the plastic piece in the bracket. So I did. In fact, I did it on both ends, and used four short but strong screws. It’s stronger this way than the original design. I still have misgivings about the height adjustment handle...that seems like it’s going to wear out very quickly because it’s an incredibly cheap design.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Jiggly
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021

The plastic part that connects the horizontal arm to the vertical rod is not very robust. As a result, the whole contraption is unstable and wiggly. Overall a good design, but this single flaw is significant.
