Descrizione
Most 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.
The 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.
Two 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.
The 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.
The screen should come to your eyes. Your neck should not go to the screen.
Key Features
- Aluminium alloy clamp base Grips surfaces up to 5.5cm thick, from a bed rail to a desk edge to a kitchen counter, without marking the furniture.
- Four independent axes 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.
- Two or three arm sections The two-arm version reaches about 90cm for desks and sofas, the three-arm version about 110cm, which is what covers a bed properly.
- 4 to 13 inch compatibility Phones, iPad mini through iPad Pro, Surface, Fire tablets, e-readers and a Switch in the same cradle.
- Metal construction Aluminium base and metal arm sections, chosen over plastic because a loaded arm at full extension is a lever.
- Tool-free installation Clamp on, tighten by hand, position the arm. No drilling, no wall fixings, no screws into a rented wall.
- Foldable for storage Folds flat against the clamp when not in use, which matters in a small flat where a permanent floor stand is not an option.
- Works sitting or lying down The reason it gets used nightly: the screen can be positioned at eye level in bed, on a sofa or at a desk.

Where It Belongs
It belongs where a flat stand cannot go. Clamped to a bed frame it holds a tablet at eye level for reading or watching without propping it on a pillow; on a desk edge it lifts a second screen to eye height for reference material while the laptop does the typing; on a kitchen counter it keeps a recipe off the worktop. It also suits rehabilitation and long-term bed rest, where holding a device is not a small inconvenience but a physical limit, and it suits anyone who has tried a floor stand and found it either too far away or in the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it hold an iPad Pro without sagging?
A: Yes, at moderate extension. The arm is metal rather than plastic and the joints lock, but a heavy tablet at full reach on the three-arm version will show a little droop at the outer joint. Pull the arm in one section and it holds firmly.
Q: What thickness of surface can the clamp take?
A: Up to 5.5 centimetres. Bed frame rails, desk tops and headboards are all well inside that. A very thick farmhouse table edge or a padded headboard beyond 5.5cm will not fit.
Q: Can I use it with a case on the tablet?
A: Yes for slim cases. A bulky keyboard case or a rugged child-proof case adds width to the cradle, so check the combined thickness against the holder jaws before relying on it.
Q: Does it work for a Nintendo Switch?
A: Yes. The cradle holds a Switch or a Switch Lite, and the 360 degree rotation means it can be turned for handheld or tabletop play.
Q: Will the clamp mark furniture?
A: The jaws have contact pads, so a normal desk or bed frame is fine. On polished or veneered surfaces, put a thin cloth under the jaw as a precaution, particularly if you tighten it hard.
Q: Is assembly difficult?
A: No. It arrives assembled apart from the cradle, which clicks onto the arm end. Setup is clamp, tighten, position, and takes a couple of minutes.
Q: Can it be used while charging?
A: Yes. The cradle is open at the base, so a charging cable can be connected while the device is mounted, which is what makes it usable overnight.
