Elevation Lab DraftTable V2 for iPad Pro (Full Kit) : Rock-Solid & Adjustable | Tablet Stand Holder Dock for Drawing | iPad, Pro, Air, Mini, Nexus, Kindle, Laptop Stand

When Apple introduced the 12.9 iPad Pro and the Apple pen, they invaded the rarified turf of the touchscreen graphics tablets to plant the Apple IOS logo near the top of the heap, and they did so at less than 1/2 the entry price of the single serious competitor. Add the Astropad app, and it becomes possible to operate Photoshop on your Mac with the iPad as a fully interactive drawing surface. What Apple did not supply was a workable stand, and it's important, because to use any high quality graphics tablet at its best resolution means needing an unyielding surface that won't wiggle when one is fiddling with the details. Enter Elevation Lab's multi-pound creation: It holds the iPad at any one of four angles ranging from nearly horizontal to roughly 45 degrees. The changes in angle are achieved by removing the iPad and choosing no legs or one of three legs of differing fixed heights. The base is steel, the legs are heavily built nylon impregnated plastics. The base and the bottom lip are covered in some sort of soft rubber like material to both grip the iPad and prevent scratches. While it is possible to slide the iPad across the base, it takes deliberate effort, and would never occur in the course of drawing. That's it. For a bit extra they throw in a silicone style wrist rest matched to the width of the iPad and a heavy, rubberlike non-charging stand for the Apple Pencil. Both work well and have "sticky" micro-cellular suction on the bottom. I removed the protective plastic from the bottom of the Pencil stand, as it's not as stable as I'd like without the stickiness. It can be repeatedly moved without loss of stickiness. I've left the wrist rest covered, as it's quite heavy and not inclined to slide. I use it in a number of positions on my desk. Elevation Labs sells the pencil stand separately, but I've not found the wrist rest on their site as a separate item. However it seems very durably made, and I expect that with reasonable care it will last for years. In use, I find that stand does exactly as promised. Though clearly designed for the 12.9 model in horizontal use, it works well in vertical mode, with about 1/3 of the iPad showing above the top of the stand. A smaller iPad would work as well, as the entire upper surface of the stand is is protectively coated. Best feature: the solid gravity only connection between the iPad and desk: It does not wiggle. Downsides: It's not really moment to moment portable. Though it fits inside a laptop compartment in a pack or bag, Elevation Labs built this for desk use: it's much too heavy for lap use (though you can always pluck your iPad from the stand - it's not mechanically fastened).

I have a few mobile stands for different tablets including my Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16'' and my iPad Pro 12.9 inch. And this one is perhaps my favorite. It is sturdy as all hell, thin and easy to carry, it has a nice rubber backing that not only prevents the table from sliding but also protects it from being scratched. The multiple positions are done by using framed legs, 3 different angles. They are pretty darn solid and lock in place. All three angles are very useful depending on what you are doing. And even when all 3 are folded the table still has a small angle of viewing that can still be useful for other stuff. The palm rest is soft and comfortable, although I am not very used to it because I never use it for any of my other devices, but it is a welcomed accessory, The pencil holder is nice, but I personally never use those things since I read the pencil (or Wacom pen) just like any other pen or pencil and simply rest it on the table. I primarily got this for the stand. My only downside (but an important one) is the cost. For $100 this thing is up there with some of the most expensive accessories you can buy for your tablet. I don't think it's worth so much money. If it was $25 it would be absolutely worth it, but at $100 it is a luxury item I think, specially since there are other $15 stands out there that do pretty much the same thing as this one does (even if they don't do it as well). So if you can afford it and you want perhaps the best mobile stand, get it. If not, you have other options out there.

The draft kit from Elevation Labs is increasingly study brace for you iPad Pro, both large and smaller versions. The main table part is heavy gauge steel, with a black foamed rubber on it for prevention of slipping and protection of the iPad. It has a perfect range of angles for viewing, all managed by heavy duties legs that fold out from the back and lock into place. It’s weight is above what would be expected, but is necessary to keep the iPad secure and stable. It does however limit the portability of the device, as it would quickly add too much weight inside a briefcase or tote. It comes with a wrist brace that is appropriately high and comfortable as well as a pen stand for the iPencil to keep it nearby. For the cost, its a good value, durable and will last. This is not a cheaply made stand, nor disposable in anyway. It would be useful as a book stand as well as a iPad stand.

So, the Portlanders who designed this beast have the best multi-height stand ever. I've tried so many of them but this is amazing and actually thinner than I thought. And for portability that is what we all want. Not wobbly, multi heights (instead just two), and excellent design. Except for one thing (actually two): I am using this for a portable Wacom pen display tablet (the Movink 13). Yes, for all of you creatives who use iPads OR pen displays, this is the stand you need. The only problem? TOO heavy! Since these Portlanders (who are like the west coast equivalents of Twelve South out of Charleston, SC) have designed the perfect stand, why not make it a lighter version (even if <gasp> recycled plastic or something)? This weighs 10 times what the Movink weighs and is going to be heavy in the backpack. I'm still loving it, but why not a DRAFT-TABLE LITE?

had it for one week so far. great stability, wrist rest is VERY soft (not cheap firm gel/foam), rubber pen holder sticks to my desk nicely and firmly - removes with a little wiggling and have been able to restick it to different places multiple times. TAKE YOUR IPAD OUT OF YOUR CASE TO USE THIS!! the experience is way more sturdy when your ipad is directly on the stand. i found my ipad slid around too much in the case. unit is heavy like half a brick and could kill someone - useful as a low key weapon. not too heavy, i have RSI and it doesn’t bother me to pick up the stand nor to adjust it. sticks firm to my desk with it’s rubber feet. i found it really hard to find a decent stand, but this one checked all the boxes i needed. amazing stability. only improvement could be more angles, but i much prefer the stability of the three different modes on this unit than the wiggliness of my Surface Pro 2017’s kickstand. the investment is worth it.

Having used this for a couple of weeks now, I’m glad I overcame my initial reservations about the price; it provides a really rock solid support for the iPad Pro whichever of the 3 different heights you use - 4 actually, since using it without any of the support legs offers a nice shallow angle. The surface is covered in a rubber like material, ensuring there’s no slippage, and the small lip on the front edge is low enough not to get it the way - a concern with most of the laptop stands I briefly considered. It’s also sufficiently large that it can easily support the 12.9 inch IPad Pro used vertically without the danger of tipping if you’re working at the top of the screen. The included wrist rest strikes a good balance between comfort and firmness - it’s much firmer than the gel wrist supports that come with some mouse pads. The included stand for the Apple Pencil is similarly well designed with a non slip base and enough weight to stop the pencil tipping if it’s knocked. Overall it’s a well thought out, designed package that’s heavy enough to provide solid support, but still light enough to be carried around in a shoulder bag and used anywhere.

キットのほうで購入しました。 注文してわずか3日で届いたので びっくりしました！ 開けてみると、 まず専用の箱がしっかりとした硬さのある 物で、例えるならiPhoneを購入した際の 最初に渡されるあのしっかりとした白い箱です。 中身ですが、 メインの傾斜台はとても薄く、 パソコンのキーボードよりも薄いです。 しかしながら重さはあり、後ろの足を開くと がっしりとした安定感でiPadを支えてくれます。 3つの角度を選べて作業できるため 自分に合った角度を選べます。 ただ3つそれぞれ開く際に 割と重さがあるので、勢いあまって折れたりしないか少々不安ですが、 それは注意して使えば今のところ気にすることではないかなと思いました。 とにかく安定感が素晴らしいので イラストを描く作業などにもピッタリですし、 個人的にはバッグに入れて 出掛け先でも取り出してささっと描けるかなと 思います。 また、今回キットを買ったので 付属で付いている2つのレビューとしましては、 横長い棒のようなものは、 プニプニとした触り心地で大変気持ちいいです。 写真では硬い素材かと思っていました。 そして2つ目のペン立てでは Apple Pencilを使っており、今まで置き場所が なく、わざわざ専用箱に直すか そのまま置いてしまっていたのですが ペン立てがあるおかげで さっとそこに立てかけることができて 思いのほか快適です。 この3つセット、このクオリティで8000円代とは 正直安く感じました。 傾斜台単体のほうがお値段が高かったので キットを購入し、単体とキットは何か違うのだろうか？と不安視していましたが 個人的にとても満足しております。 乱暴に扱うことがなければ 長持ちして安定した作業を提供してくれる ものになってくれると思います！

Se amate disegnare, questo supporto è il migliore in assoluto. Super extra solido, di qualità impeccabile, consente di disegnare agevolmente senza affaticarsi e senza che niente si muova. Super consigliato.

Für jemanden, der wie ich das Ipad zum Zeichnen benutzt, ist der "Draft Table" von Elevation Lab absolut unverzichtbar. Ob es wirklich der beste erhältliche iPad-Ständer ist, kann ich nicht sagen; auf jeden Fall ist es aber der mit Abstand beste, den ich bisher getestet habe (und das waren einige). Egal wie fest man drückt, das Ding bewegt sich keinen Milimeter. Der Draft Table ist extrem solide gebaut, und dass er dazu noch gut aussieht, ist ein schöner Bonus. Mit 70 Euro nicht ganz billig aber für Designer und Künstler ist mir keine brauchbare Alternative bekannt.
