I bought this along with a pico projector to decorate cookies and this stand made using the projector 10000 times easier! I was planning on returning the projector before I got the stand, but this stand is so handy and sturdy that I decided to keep the projector! The stand is also telescoping, so you can make it really nice and tall but it still can stay put with a lot of weight. Absolutely love it, every cookier needs an Arkon mount! (The ring light has also improved my photos a ton!)

For years I've attempted to create craft videos from a very small craft space. The first time I saw this stand I thought it might be the answer to my problems but the cost made me cringe just a bit. So for the past few years I've been buying cheap flexible arm phone mounts and arms that extend that could be attached to the side of my desk. I've bought a regular tripod and the small flexible 'put them anywhere' tripods. Nothing worked for me. Last week I finally decided to just purchase the Arkon Remarkable Creators Phone and Tablet Stand bundle. Now I'm so upset with myself for waiting so long and wasting twice the money on all of those 'cheaper' options. This is perfect! It allows me to film from directly above my work surface without it restricting my movement or taking up a ton of space . The fact that it also holds my iPad is amazing as I can either use it with Switcher Studio for recording or I can use it to view instructions or artistic inspiration while I'm working. I do use some counter-balance weight on the base, but it doesn't interfere with my workspace at all. I may not even really need it, but I don't want to take the chance of my new iPhone 11 taking a tumble. If you are like I was, and thinking this seems perfect but feeling you need to try a 'budget' version... buy this stand. It's definitely worth the price.

I first saw this product at a conference in June. Based on the presenter's recommendation, I purchased it to use with an iPhone 12 to make how-to videos.
After reading some of the less than 4 stars, I was a little skeptical, but after it arrived and I assembled it, I am very pleased with its performance.
All the parts were there, the instructions were clearly written how to attach the pole to the base. If I had looked a little closer at the picture, I would not have mistakenly loosened the connector below the collar of the Tightening Knob. And, no, it does not go back on the way it came off without some thought. After trying to get the collar back on the pole, I decided to try it from the other end. I unscrewed the pole from the base and flipped the bottom end up. This was when I saw there was a cylindrical object inside the pole. Once I slipped that part out to the top, I was able to put the Tightening Knob part back on and secure it. The rest of the instructions were easy to follow. I made a test video and found it to be very stable with my iPhone 12 Pro. I don't understand the comments about "tipping over with an iPhone". The weighted base is very sturdy for an iPhone. As to comments about the company's owner, I rarely let anything like that upset me. If the product is a stellar product, as this one appears to be, I let that sort of thing slide. Sometimes we can be too sensitive. Stick and stones etc"¦ I grew up in the 70's; it was every man or woman for himself. I do not allow what some consider sexist remarks to bother me. I'm too old for that sort of nonsense. It is a good product. And that is that.

This is a very good stand, it works with cell phones, projectors, etc. Recomended.

This was sturdy and strong but I could see the mount base on my videos. Didn't really meet my needs.
