For those of you who use an iPad to read lyrics, what's your favorite clip for holding the iPad, and what do you attach the clip to? (I.e., to the mic stand, or keyboard stand. etc.
Thanks.

It don't mean a thing...

I've been using this one for the past 5 years
No problems, but you have to drill a small hole in your music stand
Costs about $2 or less
Brings the iPad forward 5"

What's the item #, and where can you buy it?
Also, does it ever slip out of place or get accidentally bumped out of its holder at a gig?
Thanks.

The iPad has never slipped out of place, never had a problem with it.
I never allow members of the public near my equipment since someone kicked one of my speaker stands over a few years ago.

Here is a better photo of the screw, just high enough to squeeze the 6mm metal under it.

I use a generic tablet holder because I've used several tablets (Windows, Android and iPad) with my keyboards. It needs to be stable and really hold on to the tablet, so it doesn't fall off when someone pushes it by accident on stage. That's why I don't want it to just stand on my keyboard and I opted for a generic holder to be attached to the microphone stand. For stability, I use an extra heavy dedicated mic stand (my mic has its own stand). The holder can rotate the tablet from portrait to landschap and can curn on tree axis, so I can always create a position in which I can read the display without sun/lights glare. The tabled is fixed so strong that I can pick it up and put the stand in my car without the tablet falling out.
This is a model from Konig & Meyer, but there are other brands with similar properties.

I adjusted the original tablet holder. (pic 01)

But on stage I keep the monitor on a separate microphone stand. (pic 02)

Hi Ckobu

Many thanks for the Pics,  I see that the top pic shows epic of the MIDIDESIGNER APP but what is the APP show on the 2nd PIC on the LH Tablet. Is it Touch OSC.

Do you have a template that you are willing to share.

Hi Bill
I didn't use Touch OSC, I just installed it. MidiDesigner was enough for me, but I'm not actively using it. This was just for some testing.
