This is a very sturdy and solid tablet holder for an “exercise bike.”This is a very solid piece of “equipment.” There is nothing fragile about it. The stiffness of the neck negatives that you will see from others, yes the statements are true - but I don’t consider what I’m about to say to be a negative. The neck takes some effort to bend or adjust it to your suitable setting. This is needed. This is what you want. Why? Because if this was a flimsy gooseneck and you were riding hard on your exercise bike, the tablet would move up and down and shake all the time. Not with this exercise bike tablet holder. Also, I’m using a 10 inch tablet. A flimsy gooseneck would not hold a 10 inch tablet it would droop down. There is no drooping, No dropping down with this exercise bike tablet holder. This exercise bike tablet holder is not made for constant adjustment while you are riding. I have it set to where it fits me. I don’t need to move it again. If I did, I’d just take the tablet out “put a little effort” into it and bend the neck. Putting the tablet into the holder and taking it out is a snap. Now, You can’t have it both ways people. You can’t have a sturdy tablet holder and a flimsy neck. This is a tremendously sturdy tablet holder. If you are looking for a sturdy table holder this is what you are looking for. Yes , you will need to put some effort into adjusting the neck. Get over it. When you get this very sturdy tablet holder adjusted to where you want it you will be VERY VERY VERY pleased. If you buy a flimsy gooseneck tablet holder “you will be VERY disappointed.” It will not hold your heavy tablet - that is, a flimsy gooseneck tablet holder on an exercise bike. Maybe just sitting at a desk, but not on an exercise bike. This is the tablet holder for an “exercise bike.” Goodbye, now have a nice day I hope you make the best choice for you. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I seldom write reviews, but this tablet mount absolutely deserves it. Granted, I just installed it about 30 minutes ago, but after testing the strength and reliability, I would be surprised if this thing failed anytime in the near future - it's that solid. Placed the order last night and it arrived this afternoon (that was FAST). Setup was a sinch - nearly impossible to screw it up. In 5 minutes I had the clamp installed at the end of my desk. Mounting my iPad Pro 12.9'' was a breeze. The reason for my purchase was to have my iPad serve as a 2nd monitor for my Macbook Pro. (that functionality is available once you update your MacOS to Catalina - it's called "Sidecar"). I also wanted to be able to use the iPad for video conference calls/Facetime without having to use my Macbook front-facing camera. This is exactly what I was looking for. I LOVE that I can utilize my iPad as a 2nd monitor without having to worry if it'll hold up. I can honestly say that I have zero concern of this product failing. Oh, and let me just say that the adjustable arm is not your typical floppy, bendy, bouncing type arm. The material is heavy-duty and will only bend if YOU bend it. For those who own the 12.9'' iPad, you know that it's not necessarily a 'heavy' tablet, but it's most definitely a large device (and expensive, nonetheless). The size and the weight of my iPad is no challenge for this mount. Even when swiping, tapping, or adjusting the iPad it holds strong and steady. I will update my review in a few weeks if anything changes or any flaws arise, but I can honestly say I doubt that will happen. This is a high quality, strong, and sturdy product that is more than capable to hold/mount your electronic devices/tablets. I am ordering another one to have at my office. Don't even think twice. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. Read more
