ipad Holder to Place Directly on Keyboard

[Cabo]

 

I'm looking for something that will hold an iPad so that it's bottom actually rests on the keyboard (just above the keys), with it's top angled up. (I have some empty area with no controls on the keyboard).

 

See this article on Roy Bittan for an idea of what I'm after. Does anyone use something like this?

I put mine on some unused real estate on my Kronos 88 using four 1/2 inch diameter self adhering Velcro dots. I put the "hook" part on the keyboard and the "loop" (the soft side) on the back of the iPad. It's a 75 cent solution that works like a charm.

^^^ The Velcro idea is a great one. If you don't want to Velcro the back of your iPad, you can use a "wedge" or some type of case and Velcro that instead. Just an example of many types of wedges or holders:

DulceLabs,

Something like that, only in portrait orientation would be perfect. Any idea who makes that one?

What about a suction-cup carmount?

Maybe you can use the iRig mic stand mount to get it where you need to get it. You can attach it to a boom.

It's made by DataMation and has a portrait mode. They are $40...

As a guy who works in club and theater sound, let me offer a bit of advice if you go with something like this: Bring your own goddamn mic stand, and don't depend on using one from the venue! Had a show at the theater I work at a while back with a sort of classical meets indie pop group with a lot of strings, each of the 8 string players grabbed one of our short boom stands to hold their iPads. Of course, their rider hadn't mentioned that each one required an extra mic stand, so this left us 8 stands short on a really complicated show. Not fun.
