This is a nice looking and rock solid security mount. I'm actually using it in my home to hold the iPad I control my smart home with, so security wasn't my primary concern. I wanted it to look professional and "built in" as much as possible AND to keep the grandkids from running off with my tablet for games. BUT, I spent 40 yrs in LE so I appreciate the need for and good security when I see it. This is a solid enclosure I'd trust in a place of business. Nothing is steal proof, but it will take some effort and likely break the very tablet they're trying to steal in the process. Good, heavy metal with a nice powder coat finish. Comes in two parts, the base and the tablet holder. They go together with 4 stainless hex head screw in the bottom. You can't access these screw once it's bolted to the surface, so the real security is whatever means you use to secure it to counter. There are screws provided, but not security type screws, so you might need those. A wrench is provided for the hex screws. You just place the post on top of the baseplate and screw in the 4 screws. Likewise for the tablet enclosure, BUT FIRST - Decide if you want the tablet portrait or landscape. It doesn't move. You make that adjustment in how you mount the backplate to the enclosure. ALSO, decide if you want it to pivot (for that horrible tip request) or stationary. There is a little set screw in the top of the tower that keeps it from pivoting and it's easier to remove or tighten before the tablet enclosure is on, although it can be done later. Then 4 more screws go in behind the tablet. The tablet enclosure has little rubber extenders to hold the tablet in place and allows for adjusting to the size of your tablet. Also has cardboard covers to cover up the edges. The power cord needs to be fed through a hole in the back and then down through the tower. You might want a 90 degree plug for your power cord and it'll take a couple feet to feed it through, so make sure you have enough for your need. Then you set your tablet in and lock it up. Comes with two keys. The base also has rubber feet on it if you don't intend to screw it down, so it shouldn't scratch or slide too easily. When together, it was more solid than some gun safes I've seen. Anything can be broken, but it won't be easy. Don't have to lose too many tablets to make it worth the cost. Read more

I couldn’t be happier with the CTA Digital Sleek Rotating POS Desk Mount Enclosure! While it took some time to get the iPad set up with our new tracking system, it's now live and fully operational in the office. When staff check out equipment, they’re required to use the app on the iPad secured in the enclosure—eliminating the old habit of walking off with items untracked. The barcode system is now enforced, and with the iPad securely mounted, I no longer worry about tampering with the app. This enclosure is exactly what I needed to secure our 10th Gen iPad running the interoffice tracking system. I'm impressed with the build quality—it's sturdy, professional-looking, and most importantly, secure. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to house the tracking iPad. It strikes the right balance: solid security without sacrificing accessibility. The rotation feature works smoothly and makes it easy to flip the screen for employee interaction. Installation was simple, the iPad fits perfectly, and the enclosure is adaptable for use with other tablets as well. My only concern is the high cost. For what is essentially a mount and enclosure, the price feels a bit steep—especially for setups involving just one tablet. That said, it does deliver on quality, functionality, and peace of mind. Highly recommended if you need a clean, secure POS setup—or a reliable enclosure for an interoffice app like ours. It works exactly as intended and doesn’t compromise on style. I would of given this 5 Stars but the high price forced me to knock off 1 star. Read more

Oh wow, this is a hefty stand. The arm itself is solid steel, seems better made than some of my monitor stands. 100x100 VESA compatible so you can mounting a display of choice (i.e. portable touch monitor or a Wacom display). The tilt angle is limited by a curved steel piece that unfortunately looks attached to the tilt hinge so you can't simply remove the plate piece to increase the angle. But given the intended use would be angled at table or counter height, the angle range work fine. You can flip it entirely over to the other side and most screens should auto-rotate to match orientation. The display metal housing is 75x75mm VESA so it should take most standard VESA wall mount adapter or directly onto the wall. The stand seems like it is meant to be mounted to a horizontal surface and I concur, makes no sense to place it vertically. Not to say one could not but there are mounts that work better for a wall setup. Display can be mounted landscape or portrait. Note that neither stand nor display housing rotates. When I say tilting in this review, it's their use of "swivel" (which to me is more like side to side or rotating but up to interpretation). It's a fixed base with tilt forward and back being the main range of motion. If you had to tilt it all the way back and forth all day--all day being the keyword--I would probably look at a stand that has a rotating base because the robustness of this stand makes it pretty tedious to repeat frequently. I'd wonder how many cycles the hinges are rated for before they get loose and floppy. If it's infrequent, the tilting to a customer should be fine because even if the hinge became loose over time, the metal stop offers a fixed resting place on each side. Tightness isn't necessarily desirable but when you're tapping away on a loose hinge that seems to bounce back against the stand midway or flop around, it's irritating. The manufacturer provides cutouts on the back steel panel for power cable and a round camera port but that may not reach the power button on every device. Check where the intended tablet power button is: if near the camera, the cutout should work; if not, it'll likely be hard to squeeze in a finger without unlocking the top. Many tablets should have touch-to-wake options to enable and I'd definitely enable that if not always-on mode. Keys do stay in until locked again so no worries about forgetting to leave one of these unlocked by accident. They even added a camera cutout in the front plugged with a rubber piece for privacy though that depends on device camera location. I think this would be great for an ordering kiosk, back of house or a warehouse packing station where you might want a fixed device with physical security device. More about information access without needing much extra peripherals or movement; locations where the tablet/display is mostly fixed and not moved much. Or kiosk display like a digital brochure. If you need something specific like this, the price is inline with other products. It's a quality product, the instructions are well-written and the fit and finish are great. The clamping inserts that hold a device inside are easily adjusted by squeezing the levers and moving along the locking teeth. May take a few adjustments to center your device but it holds securely. I like that the company also sells the stand separately so if you have other design intents, no need to buy the whole kit. VESA mountable displays are a bit easier to find than a specially designed stand like this. A few notes: - The black version as I received did seem to attract fingerprints or my hands are just too oily. It's a satin/matte texture not powder-coated so I think if you expect a lot of daily interaction with the stand, the silver color option may be better. - I wanted to see if I could use some unlisted 9-11" tablets. I tested with a 10.9" M1 Air (in photos), an older 9.7 iPad and Fire HD 10. The 9.7 iPad seemed slightly too small to fit within the metal cutout; the Fire HD was too thick to close even halfway. Follow the compatibility list or roll the dice at your own risk. - I'd prefer the manufacturer thin out the foam on the adjusters and make the top frame foam all around instead of just a few select strips. Seems odd because the screen is worth more than the back and should receive more protective padding. Read more
