Good iPad stand to replace a CCTV? (self.Blind)
submitted by smkelly
I have a 20+ year old CCTV that is a modified CRT TV that sits on a document platform and camera stand. I very rarely use it these days. I primarily use the Magnifier functionality built into my iPhone.
I was thinking that I may be able to fully replace it with a recent iPad 11" purchase. Does anybody have any stands they recommend that could potentially put the iPad in an orientation to make it function similar to a CCTV?
Alternatively, if that approach isn't great, any modern CCTV recommendations? I primarily use it when reviewing and signing documents.
Thanks!

I don't have any specific links, but a good solution would most likely be a tablet arm. I've seen them in schools and offices hooked up to projectors and giant TVs. Bonus is that it's super adjustable.

Tablet arm from Mono is amazing

Monoprice is dope. I love buying audio cables from them.

Thank you. Have you (or someone you've worked with) used it for the use case I describe? I'm trying to imagine how you orient it such that the camera looks down but the iPad display is still easily readable without having to look near straight down at the display.

Your best bet would be to get an external display along with a video adapter so you can plug the ipad into it.
