Elevation Lab DraftTable V2 for iPad Pro (Full Kit) : Rock-Solid & Adjustable | Tablet Stand Holder Dock for Drawing | iPad, Pro, Air, Mini, Nexus, Kindle, Laptop Stand

When Apple introduced the 12.9 iPad Pro and the Apple pen, they invaded the rarified turf of the touchscreen graphics tablets to plant the Apple IOS logo near the top of the heap, and they did so at less than 1/2 the entry price of the single serious competitor. Add the Astropad app, and it becomes possible to operate Photoshop on your Mac with the iPad as a fully interactive drawing surface.What Apple did not supply was a workable stand, and it's important, because to use any high quality graphics tablet at its best resolution means needing an unyielding surface that won't wiggle when one is fiddling with the details. Enter Elevation Lab's multi-pound creation: It holds the iPad at any one of four angles ranging from nearly horizontal to roughly 45 degrees. The changes in angle are achieved by removing the iPad and choosing no legs or one of three legs of differing fixed heights. The base is steel, the legs are heavily built nylon impregnated plastics.The base and the bottom lip are covered in some sort of soft rubber like material to both grip the iPad and prevent scratches. While it is possible to slide the iPad across the base, it takes deliberate effort, and would never occur in the course of drawing.That's it. For a bit extra they throw in a silicone style wrist rest matched to the width of the iPad and a heavy, rubberlike non-charging stand for the Apple Pencil. Both work well and have "sticky" micro-cellular suction on the bottom. I removed the protective plastic from the bottom of the Pencil stand, as it's not as stable as I'd like without the stickiness. It can be repeatedly moved without loss of stickiness. I've left the wrist rest covered, as it's quite heavy and not inclined to slide. I use it in a number of positions on my desk. Elevation Labs sells the pencil stand separately, but I've not found the wrist rest on their site as a separate item. However it seems very durably made, and I expect that with reasonable care it will last for years.In use, I find that stand does exactly as promised. Though clearly designed for the 12.9 model in horizontal use, it works well in vertical mode, with about 1/3 of the iPad showing above the top of the stand. A smaller iPad would work as well, as the entire upper surface of the stand is is protectively coated.Best feature: the solid gravity only connection between the iPad and desk: It does not wiggle.Downsides: It's not really moment to moment portable. Though it fits inside a laptop compartment in a pack or bag, Elevation Labs built this for desk use: it's much too heavy for lap use (though you can always pluck your iPad from the stand - it's not mechanically fastened).

I have a few mobile stands for different tablets including my Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16'' and my iPad Pro 12.9 inch. And this one is perhaps my favorite. It is sturdy as all hell, thin and easy to carry, it has a nice rubber backing that not only prevents the table from sliding but also protects it from being scratched. The multiple positions are done by using framed legs, 3 different angles. They are pretty darn solid and lock in place. All three angles are very useful depending on what you are doing. And even when all 3 are folded the table still has a small angle of viewing that can still be useful for other stuff.The palm rest is soft and comfortable, although I am not very used to it because I never use it for any of my other devices, but it is a welcomed accessory, The pencil holder is nice, but I personally never use those things since I read the pencil (or Wacom pen) just like any other pen or pencil and simply rest it on the table. I primarily got this for the stand.My only downside (but an important one) is the cost. For $100 this thing is up there with some of the most expensive accessories you can buy for your tablet. I don't think it's worth so much money. If it was $25 it would be absolutely worth it, but at $100 it is a luxury item I think, specially since there are other $15 stands out there that do pretty much the same thing as this one does (even if they don't do it as well).So if you can afford it and you want perhaps the best mobile stand, get it. If not, you have other options out there.

I don't use this very often having it for 3 months now. But it's great and sturdy. I can even carry it inside my ipad bag when Im using a padded backpack anyway. However, I don't find myself using the wristpad or the pen holder often. This is ideal to use as a desk stand too. When my iPad's not using it, I put my phones there instead and it shows beautifully. No wobble, no issues with durability on the hinges. Very useful for drawing. You can even lay the iPad Pro 12.9 with a protective back cover without issues. This thing can hande it. Heck I even use the Galaxy Note in it if I wanted to. It's heft makes it a burden to carry when you want to pack light so think about it. If I were to purchase this again, maybe I'd choose the stand only to save a few bucks. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it for artists. And if you arent even an artist, you'd want this for using the iPad on a desk. Ideal to use with a bluetooth keyboard. I love it.

So, the Portlanders who designed this beast have the best multi-height stand ever. I've tried so many of them but this is amazing and actually thinner than I thought. And for portability that is what we all want. Not wobbly, multi heights (instead just two), and excellent design. Except for one thing (actually two):I am using this for a portable Wacom pen display tablet (the Movink 13). Yes, for all of you creatives who use iPads OR pen displays, this is the stand you need.The only problem? TOO heavy! Since these Portlanders (who are like the west coast equivalents of Twelve South out of Charleston, SC) have designed the perfect stand, why not make it a lighter version (even if <gasp> recycled plastic or something)? This weighs 10 times what the Movink weighs and is going to be heavy in the backpack. I'm still loving it, but why not a DRAFT-TABLE LITE?
