Tablet Holders for Online Learning

On Line Learning has become very popular.  
Tablet holders buying suggestions

The following are some suggestions for different tablet style holders. I love using my tablet mainly to display my reference photos near my painting. Now with online classes these can be used to hold your device OVER your art while giving or receiving art lessons or for critique/feedback. They cost around $25 and less. THE LINKS, SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY CHANGE. THESE MAY NOT BE CURRENT TODAY.

Search for Tablet stands, IPad holders, articulating arm, flexible bracket, etc.
Look closely to shipping dates! Amazon says they are prioritizing shipments is Even if it says it is Prime, it may not be quick shipment!

Examples of devices to hold tablets over your work to display on zoom as you paint. 
Note, most of these things don’t clamp onto THICK white plastic tables.

Look close to the photos of each. Note how the round screw pad clamps to the table? You need about two inches of table overhand for that pad to clamp onto. If less than that it will not be secure. It will twist off. I took my Dremel (or hacksaw) and cut an edge off the round pad so the screw is in deeper. It works great.

This is the holder Lynda G bought. It clamps the sides and squeeze and pinches with a ratchet not springs.

Another good style are the ones that are goose neck.  Deb B likes this one. She bought one like this from Amazon and said it will clamp to thick tables! She said it is not springy. See above photo.

Another style sits on the top of the desk. (Takes room on your workspace but if you can’t clamp you might need something like these.) There were more of this style on Amazon. You want to be sure it will be able to adjust flat and high enough over your painting so others can see your work.
