Whether you’re working at your office desk or simply trying to prepare a hearty and healthy meal for the whole family, having a hands-free way of interacting with you smart device ultimately allows you to be more flexible, and therefore, more productive. That said, if you’re the proud owner of an iPad or an iPhone and you’re looking for a reliable way of keeping your device close to you so that you’re ultimately able to multi-task while using your device, then consider getting yourself the Twelve South HoverBar Duo.
The Twelve South HoverBar Duo is a height adjustable, multi-position iPad and iPhone Stand that can conveniently free your hands from your device so that you can interact with it in a hands-free manner, ultimately allowing you to really focus on whatever task you have at hand while still being able to use your device at the same time.
With it, you can have your iPad (or iPhone) comfortably lifted to eye-level, which basically allows you to watch a cooking show or even livestream your own meal-prep routine while you’re prepping a meal at the kitchen.
And the same goes for whenever you’re trying to get some work or studying done at your desk, as this height adjustable, multi-position iPad and iPhone Stand conveniently holds your device so that you can work with a computer or laptop or simply take notes on a notebook while simultaneously being able to interact with your device.
Last but not least, it’s also a great iPad and iPhone Accessory that makes it more convenient for you to participate in Video Calls, whether that’s a Zoom work / business meeting or you’re simply looking to video chat on Face Time to check in with the rest of your family.
Now, let’s have a quick look at the HoverBar Duo’s design and specs and check out exactly how this height adjustable, multi-position iPad and iPhone Stand can be used.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with its size, the Twelve South HoverBar Duo comes built with a reasonably compact body, and also features a sleek and very minimalist design that allows it to easily blend in with the rest of your furniture / desk space.
That said, this iPad / iPhone Stand combines a sleek, yet sturdy Weighted Desk Base with a Folding Arm that can be conveniently folded backwards when not in use.
The unit’s Weighted Desk Base features a smooth surface and also comes built with a “carved-in” Stylus Pen slot, which you can conveniently use to keep your Stylus Pen at arms-reach whenever you’re not using.
Additionally, the stand’s integrated sturdy and ultra-durable Folding Arm also comes equipped with a high-end Swivel Point at its base that features a very solid construction, which not only makes it easy for you to move it around, but also keeps the stand’s Folding Arm as well as your device perfectly secure in place.
The stand’s Folding Arm features a Maximum Arm Length of exactly 15 inches, so if you’re looking to have its Folding Arm extended to reasonable and posture-healthy eye-level, know that you can comfortably achieve that.
Moreover, right at the top end of the HoverBar Duo’s Folding Arm we also have a built-in iPad / iPhone Clip, which can easily fit most iPad and iPhone models with no issues whatsoever, and that includes all generations of iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad Mini, as well as the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12 Pro Mini, iPhone SE, and all other previous generations of the iPhone.
That said, the stand’s iPad / iPhone Clip features a Minimum Height Opening of at least 5 inches (127 mm) – meaning the minimum height-size that a device must have to have a snug fit on the stand’s iPad / iPhone Clip) – and the unit’s clip can be opened all the way up to ultimately have a Maximum Width of 8.68 inches (220 mm).
Since the stand’s Folding Arm and its built-in iPad / iPhone Clip feature a very flexible positioning, the Twelve South HoverBar Duo can easily hold an iPad or iPhone in infinite positions, heights and angles, so no matter what positioning is the most comfortable for you, know that just about any set up can be achieved.
Furthermore, the iPad / iPhone Clip that comes built into the stand’s Folding Arm also features a Clip Joint, which, thanks to this smart integration, also allows the stand’s iPad / iPhone Clip to be rotated so that you can have your device’s screen displayed at whatever angle you prefer.
Lastly, it’s also worth to mention that this sleek iPad / iPhone Stand also comes together with a high-end Desk / Shelf Clamp and a set of Wrenches (a Large 4mm Hex Wrench and a Small 3mm Hex Wrench), so if you’d prefer to use the stand without its Weighted Desk Base, know that you can instead simply have it directly installed at a desk or at any countertop that fits it.
The stand’s included Desk / Shelf Clamp also features a Silicone layer within its internal surface, which ultimately helps to ensure that the surface you install it on never gets scratched.
As such, the stand’s Desk / Shelf Clamp can be opened with a Minimum Width of 0.4 inches (10 mm) and can be opened all the way up to a Maximum Width of 1.4 inches (34 mm). This can be done via the Width Adjustment Knob that can be found at the very bottom of the stand’s Desk / Shelf Clamp.
