Moos3h Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Can anyone recommend me a good one that will take an iPad in a case? I'm using a Tiger one now but it doesn't fit when the iPad is in a case and this seems a massive oversight given the likelihood of drunken numpties knocking it over. Any recommendations greatfully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 You could always modify a music stand... (Retires to the bunker before the fallout settles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Haha I am well aware that reading from anything is largely frowned upon but with a set list of 60 songs for a recently joined band to learn I've got no choice, my kebab-addled brain won't recall anything at all these days...

SpondonBassed Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I shouldn't joke really. I think I'd like the facility of a tablet with me at gigs too. With a footswitch there would be none of that tedious wetting of thumbs and turning of pages every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Yep!! Our singer has the Hercules one for her iPad. It’s great (I actually got it for her from here). It’s pretty robust and does the job well (adjustmentable and tilts) She had a generic one that would fit any tablet but it fell apart after a few gigs.

Mickeyboro Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 +1 for Hercules, worth the extra outlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I bought a Hercules one for my tablet after my generic one fell apart after about using just a handful of times. I like the idea that you can change bits around so that it easily clamps to the side of an extended mic stand or to the top of a retracted one, depending upon whether you sing or not. Or, in my case, have a mic but can't sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt4ever Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Buy a really old iPad for twenty odd quid and only use is it for gigging, that way if it gets damaged or nicked it ain’t the end of the world. I use a generic holder with an old iPad, combined cost about 30 quid. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 K&M do a stand bracket to take iPads. They also do one to take a pint glass. Sensible chaps, these Germans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
