Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for multiple uses at home with multiple different devices! Small installation. Very good price and build quality!

This is truly a 2 in 1 product and I am very pleased with its design, purpose and packaging! Also easy to install! I bought it to mount on the wall in front of my treadmill so I can place my tablet at eye level and watch a movie or video while walking without the angle and/or vibration of the treadmill interfering with my view. I really liked the additional option of mounting it under the cabinet, so I can then just take the part of the stand with the iPad attached, slide it under the cabinet with the second mount and pull up the recipe. !In the box, the mount comes fully assembled along with two (2) separate white hard plastic mounting pads for inserting a bifurcated leg/arm when used either against a wall (vertical) or under a cabinet (horizontal). ) like on the picture. The brackets included a set of screws and plastic wall anchors (2 sets, 1 for each mounting pad) that I used on my painted plaster wall, and a set of three (3) different sized allen wrenches for adjusting the lever pivot tension. and a swivel base with a spring clip attached to the end of the arm and used to grip the tablet at two (2) points. albeit tight, it's an iPad4 with thin cases (which I use) but it's fully customizable for smaller tablets (I also own and test a Revain Fire-like e-reader and an outdated HP touchpad (heavy)] The The only tools I used were an electric drill, a drill bit and a medium Phillips screwdriver for wall mounting Instructions were included but I didn't use them but I noticed that the instructions that came with it didn't list the size of drill bit to use but it was easy.The mounting pads use two screws each located on the top and bottom of the pad along its length (vertically) and when screwed into the wall the screws are flush with the mounting pad allowing the leg/ the arm doesn't rub or get in the way of the bolt heads... Assembly was very easy and when used as a stand the fork leg splits to act as a leg and d he arm is fully adjustable The Tew adjusts to any height and angle and features a 360 degree swivel tablet mount so you can view your tablet vertically or horizontally. The (fixed) swivel mount fully folded against the wall (highest/thickest point) is about 3 1/2 inches from the wall, but remember that the mount is removable and only the white mounting pad remains on the wall. With little installation and full customization, this is a well designed product, well packaged and well priced for a variety of uses. Suggestion: Perhaps the company could sell additional mounting plates separately for other places in the house (garage/laundry room) or even for work (if wall mounting is allowed). [Note: After prolonged use (3 months) I've noticed that the weight of my iPad sometimes requires me to use allen wrenches to tighten the center position in my hand, but I don't mind]
