Reading in bed - Needing a Stand

[Djrich1]

The website is Joby.com. Google it by Joby yogi or Joby Ori. I personally have the yogi and can't say enough about it. It is the best stand available in my opinion because of all the viewing angles you could set it at. It is also great for face timing or shooting video..let me know what you think.

Quite ingenious. My wife and I want something allowing us to us the iPad in bed (movies). I like this, but I would still need something to attach it to.

I want to be able to put the ipad on an arm coming from behind me.
Something similar to a magnifying lamp (as in the attached picture)

Not very nice pictures, but as yours request.

This would work for me. I would be concerned about stability. Does it hold the Ipad without the elbow sections drooping from the weight? I saw it on eBay, but could you tell me where you can purchase one? I prefer not to buy on eBay.

I remade it form a desk lamp. Yes the elbow section will drop by the weight or the Ipad 2, but I replaced all 4 springs (you can see in the pictures.).
I'm form Viet Nam, the desk lamp form China cost 10$, the Ipad 2 back cover cost 12$, about 25$ for all.

What did you use as an attachment from the arm to the iPad holder?

Would be great if someone could mount a stand arm to a helmet LOL

Do you mean the legs or the actual device with case and legs? The product is a case and stand in one and legs are detachable.
I will tell you that if you prop a pillow and set the pad with this stand it will adjust to any position. Very sturdy too.

That is really great. It seems very easy to make. When you posted it before, I had a hard time trying to visualize how you attached the iPad. So simple yet so effective. I really appreciated you posting this. I've been trying to make up my mind on what devise to get, but because of the extortion rate prices they are charging for a stand, I have been holding back. This has put a whole new light on having something to watch videos in bed. I love your idea. Thanks very much.
