While tablets can be used as entertainment tools for whenever you find yourself with nothing to do and/or you’re just looking to relax a bit, tablets can also be used as great working tools for whenever you are at home or at the office. As such, tablets can be used as computer replacements, serving as temporary working tools for more basic tasks that do not require a ton of processing power, like writing a simple text document for example. Not only that, but tablets can also be used as educational tools for kids and teenagers to do some of their home work while they’re at school or at home, or ultimately, to learn some new educational content right from the tablet itself (including subjects like Mathematics, Biology , etc.). This brings us to the Airturn TechAssist, which is one of the best (if not the best) tablet holders for working and learning from home that are currently available on the market.
While having a tablet working for tons of different purposes is great and all, there’s one main problem associated with the prolonged use of tablets, and that’s obviously the associated neck and/or back pain that comes from using and/or staring at a tablet while having our bodies in a bad posture, i.e. sitting in a bad position, which can ultimately even cause neck and/or back strain injuries.
For example, having the tablet sitting flat on a table, on the floor, or even on our laps will force users to be looking straight down to the tablet, and the same goes for simply holding the device with both hands right above our lap.
On the other hand, while tablet covers can be used to support our tablets in a landscape (horizontal) orientation at a 45º~60º angle, these covers tend to fall back down every now and then, especially after a few hand/finger interactions with the tablet’s touchscreen.
That’s exactly where the Airturn TechAssist truly shines, as it gives users a much more stable and reliable support for their tablets (or even for Smartphones) to be held while they can simply focus on working, learning, watching, or playing on their devices.
Furthermore, thanks to this reliable tablet holder, you can ultimately even use your tablet as your computer’s temporary second (or even third) monitor.
Now, let’s take a more detailed look at the Airturn TechAssist Tablet Holder and check everything that this quality of life gadget has to offer.
DESIGN
As mentioned before, the Airturn TechAssist is a durable and reliable tablet holder and stand system that can be used to perfectly hold a tablet in a comfortable viewing angle so that users can simply focus on working and/or learning from the comfort of their home without ever having to worry about having a bad posture that could potentially lead to back and/or neck pain and strain.
The system is composed by two simple pieces that are attached together to form a tripod stand, which will have the tablet holder unit at the top.
Those two pieces are the MANOS Universal Tablet and Phone Holder and the goSTAND Portable Mic and Tablet Stand.
Right ahead, we’ll examine each piece to see how they work and check exactly what features and advantages they’ll bring you.
MANOS Universal Tablet and Phone Holder
Starting with the tablet holder unit itself, the MANOS Universal Tablet and Phone Holder is a fairly large tablet holder that measures exactly 13 inches long by 5 inches wide by 3 inches tall (33 x 13 x 8 cm). The unit is also made of ultra-durable materials, which makes it quite sturdy. Additionally, the tablet holder is somewhat lightweight, as it weighs exactly 9.3 oz (0.26 kg).
All an all, this part of the system is a solid piece of equipment, and with this reliable and durable tablet holder, you can very easily position your tablet to have it facing towards in a comfortable viewing angle of your choice, all without any obstruction whatsoever.
Furthermore, the MANOS Universal Tablet and Phone Holder comes equipped with a dedicated tension-nut like adjustable axis (a finger-turned butterfly adjustment nut of sorts) that can be used to easily rotate the tablet holder (when already holding a tablet) between portrait and landscape orientation (viewing) modes.
Holding the tablet either in Landscape or Portrait Orientation modes can be done by having the tablet holder gripping your tablet either from both sides or from its top and bottom sides, no matter how you have the tablet flipped/positioned.
Not only that, but there’s also a secondary rotatable bolt that can be used to adjust the tablets tilt (meaning the viewing angle).
Compatibility
Now, moving on to what almost anyone want’s to know, the MANOS Universal Tablet and Phone Holder can hold almost any Smartphone or tablet, as this device holder supports pretty much any device that measures from 5” to 13.3”, and that even includes the iPad Pro.
Furthermore, it’s highly likely that this is the only universal tablet holder that you’ll find currently available on the market that’s capable of accommodating larger devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (which measures a bulky 12.3″). However, the best of all is that this tablet holder can even hold tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 while you have them equipped with their protective case.
goSTAND Portable Mic and Tablet Stand
Moving on to the system’s tripod stand piece, the goSTAND Portable Mic and Tablet Stand measures exactly 3 inches long by 3 inches wide (8 x 8 cm) when having all the unit’s legs fully closed.
The unit can be extended from 18 inches tall (46 cm) – when fully collapsed – all the way up to a maximum of 58 inches tall (147.5 cm) – after you have it mounted – meaning you can easily adapt it to make it easy to have it stored and/or transported (really nice portability).
This tripod piece is also fairly lightweight, as it weighs just 2.6 lbs (1.25 kg). Nevertheless, the unit still features a very durable and bulky construction that will allow you to have your devices (tablet or Smartphone) perfectly supported.
The tripod’s adjustable legs can be adjusted accordingly to have the tripod sit perfectly on uneven surfaces, and thanks to those small adjustments, you can also get different base sizes.
Compatibility
Ultimately, you could also use the goSTAND Portable Mic and Tablet Stand with any standard 5/8”-27 mic threaded attachment for your dedicated microphone, and that’s a great feature for anyone that’s passionate about singing, running online podcasts, recording online talk-shows or VODs, etc.
In case you do decide to use this tripod stand with a microphone, it’s also worth to mention that this Mic Stand allows you to add a BOOM or Side Mount Clamp for greater accessibility and extension to your microphone unit.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package users will find: one (x1) MANOS Universal Tablet Holder and one (x1) goSTAND Portable Microphone and Tablet Stand.
MAIN ADVANTAGES
With the Airturn TechAssist you’ll ultimately be able to hold your tablet or Smartphone perfectly in place, right next to your desk, and as such, you’ll have an easier time taking notes, multi-tasking, or even extending your computer’s screen/monitor (using your tablet as a second or third monitor) during any online lectures, meetings, or even webinars.
As such, you can use the Airturn TechAssist to ultimately achieve a hands-free experience when using your tablet for different Apps like FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, as well as when you’re looking to use your tablet to watch online videos (on YouTube for example), to watch a movie or even to play games.
This makes the TechAssist Tablet Holder suitable for small spaces or for any time that you find yourself having very limited room on your desk when looking to finish any office work or student tasks.
Lastly, thanks to the TechAssist Tablet Holder’s adjustable legs, the stand’s height can be fully adjusted to have the system setup on the floor for your kids’ entertainment time.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Airturn TechAssist is a durable and reliable tablet holder and stand system that can be used to perfectly hold a tablet in a comfortable viewing angle so that users can simply focus on working and/or learning from the comfort of their home without ever having to worry about having a bad posture that could potentially lead to back and/or neck pain and strain.
While the goSTAND adjustable legs can be fully adjusted to your height needs, the MANOS Tablet Holder’s dedicated tension-nut like adjustable axis can be used to easily rotate the tablet holder between portrait and landscape orientation (viewing) modes.
Lastly, the Tablet Holder’s secondary rotatable bolt can also be used to adjust the tablets viewing angle.
