{"product_id":"the-cantilever-articulated-tablet-arm","title":"The Cantilever | Articulated Tablet Arm for Bed and Desk, 4 to 13 Inch","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost tablet stands solve the wrong problem. They hold a tablet at a fixed angle on a flat surface, which is fine for a desk and useless in a bed, on a sofa or on a treadmill, where the actual question is where to put the screen so the neck does not have to do the work. The Cantilever answers that question with an aluminium clamp, a segmented arm and a holder that rotates independently of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry is the product. An aluminium alloy base clamps onto anything up to 5.5 centimetres thick, which covers a bed frame rail, a desk edge, a headboard, a kitchen counter lip and a gym bench. The arm is jointed rather than a single gooseneck tube: the base swivels through 360 degrees, the arm joints adjust through 270 degrees, the screen cradle rotates 360 degrees and tilts 180 degrees. Those four axes are what let the holder reach over a mattress or swing out of the way when the desk is needed for something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo arm lengths are stocked. The two-arm version extends to roughly 90 centimetres, which suits a desk, a sofa arm or a bedside table. The three-arm version reaches about 110 centimetres, which is the one that actually covers a bed, because the extra joint lets the arm come up and over instead of pushing the tablet away from you. Both use the same clamp and the same cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cradle takes devices from 4 to 13 inches, which is the full spread from a phone to an iPad Pro, and includes e-readers, Surface tablets, Fire tablets and a Switch. The point of the adjustable arm is posture: with the screen held at eye level and at a sensible distance, the angle of the neck stops being a compromise between reading and comfort, which is the reason these stands get used every night rather than for a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe screen should come to your eyes. Your neck should not go to the screen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminium alloy clamp base\u003c\/strong\u003e Grips surfaces up to 5.5cm thick, from a bed rail to a desk edge to a kitchen counter, without marking the furniture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour independent axes\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 degree base swivel, 270 degree arm joints, 360 degree screen rotation and 180 degree tilt, so the holder reaches where a fixed stand cannot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo or three arm sections\u003c\/strong\u003e The two-arm version reaches about 90cm for desks and sofas, the three-arm version about 110cm, which is what covers a bed properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 to 13 inch compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e Phones, iPad mini through iPad Pro, Surface, Fire tablets, e-readers and a Switch in the same cradle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal construction\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium base and metal arm sections, chosen over plastic because a loaded arm at full extension is a lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-free installation\u003c\/strong\u003e Clamp on, tighten by hand, position the arm.
