Revainrating 3 out of 5

Adjustable swivel stand. Best suited for small/light devices. Staggering with some pills.

Was looking for a swivel stand for my iPad Pro 10.5". It looked like a solidly assembled stand. Reviews are positive. Mine received and assembled. The base and bracket are Metal with plastic inserts in the holes for the brackets The base is probably steel The lever is probably aluminum The head of the handle that grips the device is all plastic Spring-loaded arms extend to accommodate a variety of device sizes The grip head is fitted with a threaded ring a fastened in the hand. . The collar secures the serrated ball piece in an adjustable ball joint. for angle and tilt with the thumb grip. The hand bends beautifully. The kit includes two hex wrenches for adjusting and tightening the lever links to a tighter position. In general it is well built, I like its appearance. This raises my iPad to its preferred height. I'm not a big fan of all-plastic pens. It seems like a cheap finish for a solid build. However, it works. The main problem I have is that it wobbles. When I used the tablet and tapped the screen, it bounced and wobbled. (See attached video) I can see the upper arm flexing and twisting as it wiggles. It's kind of a deal breaker for me. I wanted something that would hold the tablet at the desired height but not wobble during use. The arm's two thin strands of aluminum flex too much for my liking. I think it's a design issue. If the arm sections were solid instead of open/strands, I think it would be more stable and not twist or wobble. I tried my old 7 inch Android tablet and the stand was still wobbly. Pros: Solid construction. Smooth articulations. Wide range of adjustment options with thumb knob and Allen keys. beautiful appearance. Cons: Not suitable for tablets larger than 7 inches. shaky. Plastic handle against metal. UPDATE: She was too shaky. With anything that involved browsing or reading while interacting or typing, the hesitation was too hard to overcome. I returned this stand for a refund.
