I bought these to use my Ipad with Iklip on the table I'm playing at so I can access the tracks right next to the mixer. I used to use a regular mic stand and had to put it to the side of the table and as space allows the equipment I now have the option to use a different mic stand for smaller percussion or have a different person perform. Tiny but sturdy, this mini stand can support the weight of an iPad with the LifeProof case and the weight of the Iklip itself. Pyle-Pro is a company that was on par with Gemsound or Gemini and as Numark has built a solid reputation they are on the same path with affordable pricing. I have had a direct box from Pyle-Pro for many years which has saved me 80% on the price compared to the name brand products and still works great.
