Indeed the support comes with:
1 -a special carrier for IPad (Height: 9.5 inches (241.2 mm) Width: 7.31 inches (185.7 mm))
2-a "universal" support (double gripper ranging from 144mm to 203mm). A tablet LG V500 8.3 (corresponding to the specifications - 7-8-9-10 inches) is 128 x216, it is too narrow or too long, not mountable.
It seems that n "There is no product from Amazon (or anywhere else for that matter) that is a support with flexible swan neck for tablets inches from July to September.
The adjustment requires disassembly and manufacturing extends to hold the tablet along. For my part I was ready to do it (mechanical engineer) but another short support (for windscreen or table - small glass top) made me discover that the mounting between support and "claw or clamp" the tablet match ? a de facto standard (3 products = 2 Compatible products for when the separate sale There are several montages with the same technical basis: 4 mounting pads that snap into slots and lock it 3 Sir. different brand models two commands are compatible - longitudinal spacing 1 "1/4 and 7/8" wide, the gooseneck and the holder ASIN: B00COJRN3C of KWMobile while another model purchased, I can not find the reference used him long 1 "for the same width, so there has partial compatibility)
3- problem locking position of the clamp stand on the head of gooseneck: the shelf support locking position on the head of the gooseneck is not found and a "novice" in the absence of signs mark lock this exact type of equipment may not know the lock - are indicated lock ->
(Which led me to write before: "Unfortunately, the media is used in landscape mode - landscape - because, vertically, in the absence of locking the support, the tablet can fall off and fall) .
The problem is solved found because I had bought another carrier on the same principle that has him lock these marks (simple lines on the bracket and the claws must be aligned in the locked position.
4. Compatibility: I bought two other products shelf brackets and miracle (or almost, see above) of the other two (bought on sale) has a fixing of the "claw" fully compatible allowing me to have constituted a correct set of three brackets with two correct claws ...
CANCELLED PREVIOUS NOTE: Even in this case, it is unfortunately only be used in portrait mode, as in horizontal (landscape) any side impact causes the fall.
Neither fact nor pointed to 0 for engineers. Product unusable.
- Not manual or appropriate signage, the customer is supposed to know everything ... and this is not the case even-engineer and found everything ...
5- design "claws" other purchased models can ensure a space of 2 cm minimum (adjustable) between the tablet and the "4-pin claw". So when the tablet is in its magnetic flip case (or she must remain with the speakers at the rear), the hinged flap (3 parts) can stay away from the shelf and in fact little to enrich the sound enclosure .
Nothing like that here, it is impossible to leave the tablet in its hull: prohibitive.
5- spacing of tablet support points:
Besides universal mode in the absence of the support center distance adjustment (almost all media except model-specific) it is impossible not to block the microphone or line-connecting headphones or charger probably true ... a majority in most cases?.
6- Lock width for the "universal" medium
Finally locking in the extension of the universal adapter is via two levers so hard we are afraid to break the material and it takes powerful finger, insensitive, and do the manipulation on a table in the presence of third to catch on the fly a tablet that would surely go up in case of false manipulation. Horny and strong fingers guitarist are required ...
7. Compatibility with protections "cover cases covers"
Finally the method of installation is pinching (except perhaps fitting IPad to see, nothing is less on) incompatible with the "Shell Case Protective Cover & Screen Protector 'kind: For V500 LG G Pad 8.3 NILLKIN NK30126 of NILLKIN which are not intended to be undone when each placed on a support. Except for an engagement end (to the horizontal) and can therefore essential allow pivoting, all the time (the foot) with a positioning clamps compatible with the location of tablet connectors.
8- A problem that no properly rule he seems: 1-open function enough to spend the shelf; 2- tighten; 3- lock tightly into position.
It is always the tightening problematic, indeed must be able to hold the tablet in place while we greenhouse, with a smartphone you get there with a long shelf I know no one who is able to squeeze 215mm. .. So you need 3 hands ... or support. Moreover if we add the position being "acquired" it usually operating a locking lever ... So set up the tablet to an arm or gooseneck position requires two people, and it does work not the first time.
The best I have found for a smartphone is a "claw" that departs and comes to tighten by a spring by pressing a trigger. There, one holding up the smartphone and a free finger final closure is triggered (with more force adapted). regarding closures with a simple spring best forgotten, difficult with a medium sized smartphone (Galaxy S3), unplayable with a tablet - I have not had such a machine in the hands ...
9- The technique of throat: an interesting but not a miracle solution: As I said above, the gooseneck should be stiff to avoid vibrations that would make the product unfit for the management of a touch screen . This is the case. But beware the arch requires a certain force and if it is fixed with a press on the edge of a table (well designed - keeping force and anti-slip rubber sides) is the right move to do it with both hands (person without muscle power: abstain). Unfortunately, there is no existing solution-it seems. Ideally an articulated arm (office lamp type: reinforced model) but with more of a position locking system. So I have no particular criticism on this point, the product is to collar 50cm definitely the best.
In conclusion: A working design of the iPad not secure tablet or done or to do. The serious part is the gooseneck (gripper assembly, flexible and metal ball very good design) but if one is not compatible tablet (see above) to use it you have to buy a compatible product.
That's what I did. With the support mentioned above (I absolutely have to check the reference because it was not purchased from Amazon and has also not burning as much in this type of products) and I have a car holder which, in Also, attached to a small glass top allows for the display of the so-to-face tablet as a laptop screen on a table. As for the gooseneck, it allows me to read and work in bed, in a chair, staring at a side table or stool.
I hope I have been able to say goodbye to my "TechNeck" (see note).
For the story and fun regarding design issues: Note that I even saw dust shovels who supported the ground, caused (for design error) the curve layout of the lip and dust and passed under the shovel, incompetence knows no bounds ... engineers are capable of anything ...
So buy again if:
you have
- Ipad to use only without shell
- Tablet in height between 144 and 203 mm without shell
- Shelf width between 144 and 203 mm without shell
- You found a "claw" to 4 fingers, tablet support compatible with your tablet and the fixation on the gooseneck
I will try to indicate soon keywords to find a blog post where you can find a plan dimensions of the fixings.
otherwise abstain (unless engineer, having a mechanical workshop available and two days to lose) normally used to construct an object or find a claw carrier compatible with your tablet and the attachment between claw and Support (4 pin to slide and lock into position by sliding - unmarked in general).
I can malheuresuement or transmit photos or make drawings or video here ...
As I am a mechanical engineer and there is no valid product on the market, I was considering having tinker (at professional level), but at what price ... the arrival of two other supports fixed the problem .
Trebly
Note:
About the need to correct supports:
end of July I woke up one morning with numbness, tingling important in both arms, pain and spasms in the legs up.
The diagnosis came nearly two weeks later when I was almost forced to stop all activity, especially sports, computers, reading: pinch at the C6 vertebra of the neck flexion during the consultation tablet and reading a big book several hours a day. This is one manifestation of a set of diseases that can be very severe and named by English speakers "TechNeck" diseases caused by forward flexion of the neck in the use of smartphones and tablets.
TECHNECK: urls
sorry all sites are in English, I do not have a translation of the new "word" techneck.
The Amazon product reviews management system has cut ties I gave to these magazine articles and newspapers (The Times and others ...) so look for yourself, sorry, I can do better.
