iKlip attaches iPad to mic stand, musicians rejoice

If you're a musically-inclined techie, you probably noticed the introduction of IK Multimedia's iKlip late last year, we certainly did. And since several of you probably received an iPad last month, we thought it was worth a mention today. Especially for the musicians out there.

Musicians have embraced the iPad from the beginning, but have struggled to find a practical way to use it to read music while playing an instrument. Thankfully, IK Multimedia has come up with an obvious yet effective solution to this predicament: the iKlip.

The light weight, multi-angle iKlip attaches your iPad to just about any microphone stand with ease -- vertically or horizontally, with access to all your iPad's buttons. Built with "...thermoplastic molded components for extreme durability and secure holding abilities under the most demanding situations," you'll have no further difficulty reading a musical score while playing your instrument, tweaking settings for your guitar effects app or even singing the lyrics to your favorite karaoke song. Hey, if you're a public speaker, this is probably worth you checking out, too.

The iKlip is available for US$39.99 from IK Multimedia's website here.

I'm pretty sure this will fit on some drum hardware, especially some cymbal stands. it will fit on mic and music stands, so I can't imagine it wouldn't fit on some drum stuff.

I received mine last week and like it a good bit. There are a few things I wish they would change though. It has to be disassembled in order to transition from landscape to portrait mode. The screw has to be removed and then the clip part turned and the screw reinstalled. Doesn't sound so bad except the screw in my iKlip was nearly impossible to install the first time. I also wish the clip itself was lined with something. It will eventually scratch the back of the iPad up the more it is used. I think I may get an invisible shield or something to put on the back to keep it from getting scratched up. Still, this is very useful and I hope it lasts a long time!

There's nothing in the world that falls over easier than a mic stand. (I might be exaggerating slightly. Slightly.)

Depends......some tripod ones are pretty stable. Or heavily weighted ones. Your $15 cheap-o one probably isn't the best choice for an iPad mount

I ordered one and it should be here next week. My only design concern is that the brace part connects to the iPad part with ONE screw.

We'll see how it actually works, it might not be an issue....
