Product Description
HoverBar Duo is a moveable arm that attaches almost anywhere, allowing you to use your iPad hands-free in ways you never imagined. In the updated 2nd Gen model, a new quick-release clip allows you to switch from Destktop Stand to Shelf Clamp in seconds! In the kitchen, use the shelf clamp to attach HoverBar to a cabinet, and float iPad above the spills to view recipes or cooking videos. When working, use HoverBar with the weighted base alongside your monitor to display your daily schedule, use Mac Sidecar, write notes or even make hands-free FaceTime calls. HoverBar's clip securely clips to any edge up to 1.5 inches thick. The weighted base enables iPad to be positioned up to 2 feet high or all the way down to the base.

It's very adjustable, it feels sturdy, the clamping power is very high (almost too high, actually, it's a bit of a pain to get the iPad Pro 12.9 in and out, but at least it's not going to fall out), and even if you don't use the desk clamp, the desk footprint is minimal and the base can have things placed on top of it. Personally, I put a HomePod under it and run the iPad audio through that.
It does shake quite a bit when using touch interfaces, so that's something to keep in mind if you're constantly touching your iPad as opposed to using it in Sidecar or with a keyboard and mouse; I think that's just fundamentally true of any similar design though.

Sturdieness/stability is good enough for watching videos, browsing, and some moderate touch interaction. However, if you're primarily doing drawing with this, the stand may not be steady enough. One good trick though: the groove on the base may be intended to hold your Apple Pencil stylus, but it also serves as a good place to position the bottom edge of your tablet if you want greater stability (see attached picture).
Construction is among the best of the holders I've tried. While some reviews have mentioned some concerns about the plastic base, it's actually a metal base with a plastic shell. The arms are fully metal (but do have some plastic inserts that seem to be mostly cosmetic). The arm swivels in the base and the bracket swivels on the end of the arm. Note that there is a drop-down notch in the bracket swivel; you will need to rotate the bracket swivel to position that notch to get to certain positions.
My only real complaint is the bracket itself. It is plastic with some rubber inserts to protect the surface/edges of your tablet. I don't object to the plastic; it's use helps the stand handle the bigger/heavier tablets by reducing the net weight that must be supported by the arm. The plastic seems to be of good quality. What I have a concern about is the spring mechanism within the bracket. The feel of the bracket as you open the jaws is a bit rough and cheap feeling, especially in contrast to the build quality of the other parts of this holder. Time will tell how this holds up, but I think that internal spring mechanism is the weak point in this product most likely to fail.
Overall, this is probably the best of 4 different tablet holders I've purchased from Amazon. It's expensive, but of the ones I tried offers the highest build quality and supports the widest range of tablet sizes.

I am really glad I went with this stand, but I am also glad I decided to buy it on sale from Amazon rather than directly from Apple. I needed something that would easily let me position the iPad at all kinds of angles. I am in a long distance relationship, so this is incredibly useful for video calls. I can easily position it on the side of my nightstand to make it feel like my partner is falling asleep right next to me.
I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my stand, but you are supposed to be able to tighten the screws on the arms for desired stiffness. I cannot tighten the first hinge anymore, but it is still drooping when the iPad being held closer to the base. Of course this is a more difficult position to hold with strength as the arm is also extended forward, so this might just be its limit.
I'll also say that the apple pencil holder is kind of pointless since the magnet is not very strong. I wish it was all flat on the base instead. Even then, they could put a stronger magnet to hold the flat back of the pencil in place. I suppose if you use a different stylus it might be helpful, but it's still not deep enough to hold anything firmly in place.

I sent pictures and a description of what happened to Twelve South and they shipped out a replacement under the warranty. I was really disappointed when it happened, but I'm now just pretty impressed by the high-quality customer service.

Pero en los video y en los review que ves por todos lados en youtube, jamas lo proeban con las de 12.9 o almenos con la version mini led.
la calidad del producto es muy buena, materiales resistentes, muy poco plástico, tienes dos modalidades el CLAMB que es una tipo pinza que puede apretar casi en cualquier superficie y con la base. el cambio de modalidad puede ser algo tedioso, ya que se requiere la lleve allen (includa) mi idea era poder moverla entre la oficina y mi casa (cocina) de manera facil, pero no es asi, es el proceso tan largo que prefiero solo dejar el ipad con su funda y no cambiar la base.
Tiene muchisimos angulos, en cada angulo dependiendo el peso de ipad tendras que apretar unos tornillos para que no se muevan, aqui entra el problema del ipad pro de 12.9 de la mayoria de los angulos el peso del ipad , por mas que aprietes vence el brazo de soporte y el ipad terminan bajandose o cambiandose de lugar, la base entera no cae solo el brazo no puede con el peso y se mueve, aun que en la publicidad dice que sirve para el ipad mas grande, en teoria si sirve pero solo en algunos puntos o angulos, no tienes la misma libertad que tendrias si tuvieras un ipad mas pequeño.
En resumen es un stand o soporte algo CARO pero si tienes un ipad que no sea el 12,9 creo que te va a venir super bien, la calidad es enverdad muy buena! ahora si tienes el ipad grande, evita gastar el dinero por que vas a terminar muy frustrado.
