If you have an iPad, it is possible that thanks to the latest version of its operating system it has become a device that you use for everything or it is still there stored in a drawer. In the event that you are one of the first, the new Twelve South HoverBar Duo mount we think you will be interested.
A very versatile two-in-one support
Users who have made the iPad, especially the Pro models, with improved keyboard and mouse support the replacement for their laptop or desktop know that with proper support the experience is much better.
So far there are many users who resort to traditional supports for laptops. That is, the classics that together with a base that sometimes allows you to adjust the inclination help to work more comfortably when using an external keyboard and mouse and even next to a second monitor.
However, this type of support is not entirely practical for iPads. In other words, they don't just get the most out of it or offer a more rewarding experience to the user than using them. Hence, Twelve South, a manufacturer already known for Mac accessories, launched a new support for the iPad that will now start to be sold and is the closest thing to a monitor arm.
This new support is HoverBar Duo and it is a rather striking two-in-one that will not only allow you to be more productive when you want to use the Apple tablet as a laptop with its external keyboard and mouse, but also to be able to take advantage of it in other rooms such as the kitchen.
The new support, as you can see in the video and images, is a proposal that does not break the mold, but it does offers a very high versatility and that other products do not have. To begin with, the base is not fixed and can be removed to place some tweezers with which to fix it wherever you want. For example, a table, kitchen counter, or piece of furniture.
Thanks to this clamp, the iPad can accompany you when cooking. Good to see the recipe without it being on a surface where the position is uncomfortable for you or some type of merchandise can go up. Also to place it and continue watching a series or content and even to make a video call.
On the other hand, when it has a base, the ideal is to use it to be able to raise it and put it on a position that improves ergonomics when you work with it next to an external keyboard and mouse. In addition, it is very easy to modify the position of him. So you can tilt it, raise or lower and even rotate to use it in portrait or landscape mode.
And who says to work with it as if it were a laptop also says to be able to use it as a second screen thanks to Sidecar or some applications that allow you to send a video signal from your Mac or PC.
As an additional detail, in the base there is a notch that allows the Apple Pencil to be placed so that it remains still and the iPad is held with a system of pints that would have been ideal if instead they had opted for a magnetic base as is the case with the Magic Keyboard. Although it is also true that in order to use it with iPad models that are not the Pro it makes sense that it be as it is. Although it can also be used with iPhones if you want, be careful.
Price and Availability
This striking support for iPad and iPhone if you want was presented a few weeks ago, but it will not start shipping until March 15. Therefore, it is now when it is really interesting to know it in case you were planning to get a product of this style. There is, but they are not exactly the same and if you are going to use it a lot, we think it is worth it.
Yes, the price of HoverBar Duo is 79 dollars and you'll have to see if any Twelve South dealer sells it outside of the US. Something that we are sure will be the case, because it is a brand that can be found in Premium Resellers or online stores like Amazon. An interesting option, although it is not the only one that offers a stand design and top features for iPad.
