GN20: How To Attach an iStand

Introduction

The Rockville GN20 gooseneck mic stand isn't just for microphones—it can also be used to hold your smartphone, tablet, or even a small monitor using an iStand attachment. This is especially useful for musicians, podcasters, or anyone needing to reference lyrics, sheet music, or scripts while performing or recording.

This guide will walk you through attaching an iStand to the GN20 and adjusting it for your ideal setup.

Step 1: Attaching the iStand to the GN20

1. Align the Threading:
   • Take your iStand and locate the threaded base.
   • Line it up with the 5/8" threading on top of your GN20 gooseneck stand.
2. Screw It On:
   • Turn the iStand clockwise until it is securely attached to the GN20.

Step 2: Adjusting the iStand for Your Device

1. Use the Ball Joints for Positioning:
   • The iStand features two ball joints that allow for flexible adjustments.
   • Adjust the first ball joint to move the stand into a general position.
   • Use the side knob to fine-tune the angle for a better viewing position.
2. Lock the Position:
   • Once you find the right angle, tighten the knobs to lock the iStand in place.

Step 3: Mounting Your Smartphone or Tablet

1. Place Your Device in the Holder:
   • Expand the iStand holder to fit your smartphone or tablet securely.
   • Ensure the device is snug and won't slip out during use.
2. Reposition If Needed:
   • Tilt or rotate the holder for better screen visibility.

Step 4: Using the iStand for a Monitor Setup

1. Position the iStand Vertically:
   • If you plan to mount a small monitor, position the iStand in a vertical orientation.
2. Attach Your Monitor:
   • Hold your monitor horizontally and mount it onto the iStand.
3. Rotate If Necessary:
   • If you prefer a vertical display, simply rotate the iStand.
4. Connect to Your Computer:
   • Plug in the necessary cables to power and connect your monitor.
