I read through the reviews before buying this, noting particularly comments that stated it did not hold the iPad securely, that the neck was flimsy and that the tripod lever could not be used. However, after using the device I believe these criticisms may at least in part have resulted from a misunderstanding of how to assemble the product and to ungrip it after use.
I had very little trouble getting this to work, even though I didn't read the assembly and operation instructions until after I had already assembled it. I am attaching photos that show the iPad being supported securely on a light tripod in both landscape and portrait orientation, and what the kit looks like when broken down to constituent parts. When combined with the rotations of the supporting tripod, there is no tilt or orientation that cannot be achieved with this grip.
This was put to the strongest test holding my iPad Pro 12.9" however the lighter iPad 3 was a breeze too. It is important to remove the iPad and the assembly entirely from the tripod and lay it on a secure surface such as a table, before ungripping it from the holder. This avoids the risk of the iPad sliding on to the floor.
I think the device is well thought through, extremely compact and therefore portable, and a perfect solution to my needs, so I shall be retaining it.
The product description mentions the inclusion of a USB extension cable, however my package included a DP video cable instead, actually far more useful to me, so I suggest this should be updated on this page.
