Tablet Gadget

My iPad, for controlling the streamer, has been on a tablet stand on a side table next to my listening chair.   I’ve noticed soreness in my neck & back from twisting my body to read the tablet.  

As a remedy, I bought this articulated arm that mounts on to my side table.  The tablet now floats over my lap.   It works great!    The soreness has gone away.

Notes: 

(1) For nice furniture, be sure to put some kind of padding on both sides of the C-clamp jaws to protect from creating a compression dent in the wood.  Eg: thick cardboard.

(2) The plastic knobs on the articulated joints need to be tightened down hard to prevent folding by the weight of the tablet.   These O-Rings (size 217) are the perfect solution.  They help tighten the joints more easily - and fit perfectly under the plastic knobs.  

(3) Setting up this arm might be a challenge for those who are not mechanically inclined.  If so, ask a friend or relative who is for help.
