The bear and I are currently reading “The Marriage Plot” on the iPad having each finished “1Q84″ last week. One understandable complaint from the aging bear now that he’s needing reading glasses is how to hold the iPad far enough from his eyes with his arms being so short.
So to help him and also to allow my not having to hold up the iPad through long reading or Netflix sessions I put together version 01 of the iPad holder shown. It uses some PVC along with some parts (all the black ones) from RAM mounts. The iPad quickly snaps into and out of the holder and the six inch arm connecting the ‘Pad to the PVC bracket has a one inch ball on each end. This allows the iPad to be rotated landscape to portrait, raised or lowered in height, and angled for direct viewing by the using mammal.
This V‑01 is a little primitive but was constructed primarily for proof of concept so a simpler and smaller V‑02 will hopefully be announced by the end of the year. For now V‑01 is working great and we are both very much enjoying it.
