I had concerns about the durability of this stand due to the price, but it holds my iPad very well. It's easy to set up and has proven reliable everywhere I've used it. He also packs small. It came with a pouch, a small phone stand and a clicker for remote photography. The bag should be a bit bigger, but it works. You only need to disassemble the stand to assemble it. A small stand and clicker is a great bonus.
