I didn't buy a tablet stand but happened to read great reviews of Above TEK's sleek aluminum tablet stand. mainly because of the low price, so I relied on the reviews. Received my order today as expected. I was pleasantly surprised and happy for several reasons: The construction is top notch. It's well made, sturdy, doesn't look cheap, simple and easy to use. The base is multi-directional and the top link has a ball bearing that complements each function so setting up the iPad for display is no problem. I installed my Nikon D7100 with a Nikon DX 55-300mm lens and it held up with no issues. This is a great product. Hope that helps.
