Gooseneck Floor Stand – CTA’s Compact, Adjustable Gooseneck with Swivel Casters for iPad 7th/ 8th/ 9th Gen 10.2”, iPad Air 4, 12.9”, Surface Pro, Zebra & Other 7-13” Tablets (PAD-CGS)

I’ve been using the Gooseneck Floor Stand iPad Holder with wheels to record my lessons for review by a board of teachers, and it’s been a game-changer. The adjustable gooseneck arm makes it easy to position my iPad at the perfect angle, and the secure grip ensures my device stays in place throughout the session. The wheels make it simple to move around the classroom without any hassle, and the sturdy build gives me confidence in its durability. While it can wobble slightly when fully extended with a larger tablet, it hasn’t been a major issue for me. Assembly was straightforward, though the instructions could have been clearer. Overall, it’s a reliable tool that has significantly improved the efficiency of my lesson recordings.

Good stand. I'm very satisfied. Perfect for Zoom calls. This is my second one; I originally had the one without wheels and I loved it, but decided I wanted wheels. I couldn't find any wheels online I was happy with that I could add myself. I'm happy with my new one, except for one thing: the metal pole makes a horrible noise when I adjust the height! Like wake-everyone-in-the-house loud. It sounds like styrofoam rubbing together. The first one was very quiet, so I'm thinking this is just a problem with my particular stand, so I won't deduct a star for it. I am currently looking for something to get rid of the screeching, though, because it's grating.I'm not sure why some people are having problems with their tablets fitting. I have a 10.5 inch Samsung S4 and it fits easily, using the thickest adhesive pad. It's a secure fit. I also am able to keep my silicone case on, which is nice.I had a bit of wobbling at first, but after taking a closer look at the screws at the base, I realized I had a couple that were slightly off. It's imperative to make the base plate perfectly flush with the two crossed plates holding the wheels.I've seen some reviews about this stand not being tall enough (one person said 4 feet), and I wonder if they know the metal gooseneck extension pole pulls out of the black one. It's definitely taller than 4 feet! As for problems with rotation being too tight, you adjust the Y screw to loosen or tighten to your liking. Very easy.One bit of advice (and it's important, so learn from my mistakes!): HAVE SOMEONE ASSIST YOU WHEN ASSEMBLING THIS! It was rage-inducing trying to hold the two heavy metal pieces crossed and the base of the pole on top, perfectly aligned while holding the screws in straight, and screwing them in keeping the washer and nut from falling off from the other side using only my fingers - the tools provided were near useless - and I ended up with scrapes on my fingertips. It's too heavy and cumbersome tipping it to put the screws in, I tried leaning it against my shoulder, but the heavy pieces kept slipping out of place or falling apart. Some better tools will help immensely. Don't let this scare you away from getting this stand, though. With partner and a good wrench you'll be fine.I just received this stand today and finished assembling it about two hours ago, so if I have any problems with it, I'll update this review.

It didn't look good right out of the box but I patiently read through the detailed instructions and eventually got it right. The two pieces of plate steel that make up the base must cross each other in ONLY ONE WAY. There is no in indication on the pieces as to which one goes on top. I found out when I put the wheels on and bolted it together that I had done it wrong. I knew that there was something wrong because the base did not sit flat on the floor. You will need to watch out for that. You may see something in the instructions about that but I did not. That error really slowed me down and was discouraging.The flexible gooseneck was quite stiff. The complete unit is quite heavy but that's good because you will want it to stay in place after you adjust it. All four wheels are the locking type. The attachment on top grabs your ipad firmly. There is no way for it to slip out and fall on the floor like others will do. It grabs it on opposite corners which is very unique.I use mine to shoot over my shoulder when I am shooting cooking videos for U Tube. It would work great for any type of video like that. I don't use mine everyday but there will be many occasions when it will be great. Shooting videos with an Ipad is challenging anyway without some way to hold your Ipad steady. It's bad enough because the screen is impossible to see in the bright sunshine. Other than that deficiency, the Ipad is now my go-to device for shooting almost everything.I remember when the ipad first came out, one commentator wondered out loud what the thing would be good for. I still laugh about that one.

what I like about Gooseneck Floor Stand is that the arm is highly flexible, allowing me to adjust the tablet to virtually any angle or height. This is particularly useful for reading, video calls, or using the tablet while standing or sitting. The inclusion of swivel casters makes it easy to move the stand around, whether from room to room or just to adjust positioning slightly without needing to lift the entire stand. Despite its mobility, the base is generally heavy and stable enough to prevent tipping, providing confidence that the device is secure during use. The stand is designed to accommodate various iPad models and other tablets, making it versatile for different devices within a certain size range. Lastly It’s particularly useful for multitasking environments, such as in kitchens, offices, or for presentations, where hands-free access to the tablet is advantageous
