IPS22 Owner's Manual

Smartphone/Tablet Mount

Black plastic universal device holder with expandable corner grips and a metal ball-joint mounting stud on the back.

The IPS22 supports most phones and tablets. It holds screens from 4.7˝ – 12.9˝. This means it will work with iPad, iPad mini, iPad pro, iPhone 6, iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy, and most other tablets and phones. To check if your device is compatible, measure the screen on your device diagonally. If it is within 4.7˝ – 12.9˝ then you are good to go.

The IPS22 is fully adjustable. It can be oriented horizontally or vertically and it is mounted on a swivel so it can be tilted to any angle.

A labeled diagram of a universal black plastic device holder showing its adjustable clamping features: Bracket Claw: An arrow at the top-left points to the raised gripping edge at the tip of the left arm, labeled "Bracket claw." Retractable Folding Bracket (for tablets): An arrow on the left points to the wide, hinged extension arm on the left side, labeled "Retractable folding bracket (for tablets)." Folding Bracket (for phones): An arrow on the right points to a smaller secondary flip-out bracket on the right end, labeled "Folding bracket (for phones)." Center Base: The central body features a textured surface with mounting slots for attaching to a stand arm or swivel joint.
A labeled diagram showing the back side of an expanded black plastic tablet mount with a central mounting stem: Swivel Adjustment Lock Ring: An arrow on the left points to a threaded black plastic collar at the center back, labeled "Swivel adjustment lock ring," which secures a ball-and-socket joint connected to a metal mounting eyelet. Retractable Bracket Release Mechanism: An arrow on the right points to a small tab near the lower edge of the center housing, labeled "Retractable bracket release mechanism," used to unlock and adjust the expanding side arms. Structure: The two outer bracket arms extend symmetrically to the left and right, featuring textured gripping pads at each corner.

 

Assembly:

1. Screw the iPad holder to the any standard mic stand with 5/8” threading (fig. a).
An instructional photo labeled "fig. a" in the upper-left corner demonstrating how to position and rotate the elbow adapter assembly on top of a stand pole: Assembly: A metallic elbow adapter is connected to a black device mount knob via a threaded stud at the top, resting over the threaded connection point of a vertical stand shaft. Adjustment Indicators: A vertical downward arrow points to the bend of the metallic elbow, indicating that the piece should be lowered onto the top of the stand shaft. A circular grey arrow wraps around the middle section of the metal elbow joint, showing that it can be rotated horizontally to adjust the viewing angle before tightening the lower locking ring collar below it.
2. Tighten the wing nut at the base of the holder (fig. b).
An instructional closeup photo labeled "fig. b" in the upper-left corner showing the rear adjustment knob of a device holder mounted on a ball-and-socket joint: Rear Assembly: A black wing-style knob is threaded onto a metal ball-joint stud extending from the silver stand neck and connected into the round back housing of the holder plate. Adjustment Indicators: A circular grey arrow wraps around the wing-nut knob, showing the rotational direction required to turn it. A straight grey arrow points inward toward the base of the knob, indicating that tightening the knob compresses the joint to secure the device holder at the desired angle.

Attaching Tablet/Phone to Holder:

This IPS22 holder allows for adjustment of size, angle, and orientation. All this can be done without removing the iPad.

To adjust angle/orientation:

1. With one hand on the holder, loosen the wing nut (fig. c).
An instructional side-angle photo labeled "fig. c" in the upper-left corner demonstrating how to attach and secure the device holder onto the metallic elbow joint: Joint Connection: The threaded rod of the curved silver elbow joint is inserted into the back socket of the device mounting plate. Tightening Knob & Arrow: A black wing knob sits on the threaded shaft behind the socket. A grey circular arrow wraps around the knob, indicating the rotation direction to screw the knob forward onto the threads and lock the holder firmly in place.
2. Tilt the holder to the desired angle (fig. d).
An instructional side-angle photo labeled "fig. d" in the upper-left corner demonstrating the tilt adjustment range of the mounted device holder: Pivot Mechanism: The black device holder plate is attached to the threaded ball-joint shaft of the silver metallic elbow adapter. Movement Arrow: A double-headed curved dashed arrow spans vertically along the threaded neck, indicating that the holder plate can pivot up and down to adjust the viewing angle before locking the rear wing nut into place.
3. Turn the holder to landscape or vertical position (fig. e)
An instructional diagram labeled "fig. e" centered at the top demonstrates 90-degree rotation of a universal device cradle mounted on a vertical stand pole: Left View (Portrait Orientation): The black device holder is positioned vertically. Two curved, dashed grey arrows loop around opposite corners to show a 90-degree clockwise rotation path. Transition: A straight horizontal grey arrow points from the left image to the right image. Right View (Landscape Orientation): The device holder is shown in its reoriented horizontal position on top of the vertical stand pole.
4. Tighten wing nut. Remember do not over tighten. (fig. f)
An instructional closeup photo labeled "fig. f" in the upper-left corner showing how to lock the metallic elbow joint assembly to the main stand shaft: Base Collar Mechanism: A black textured locking collar sits around the top of the silver stand pole directly beneath the curved metallic elbow adapter. Adjustment Arrows: A circular grey arrow loops horizontally around the black collar to demonstrate the rotation needed to tighten or loosen the fitting. A vertical grey arrow points straight upward from the collar, indicating that tightening the ring draws the elbow joint securely upward into position against the stand assembly.

To adjust size:

1. Locate the release button on the rear of the holder just to the right of the wing nut (fig. k).

 

2. Push the button down while simultaneously pulling the top and bottom parts of the bracket. Pull slowly and carefully so as not to damage the mechanism. Once you release the button, the holder will remain in the current extended position. 
An instructional diagram viewed from the rear of an extended device mounting cradle, showing how to widen the grips for mounting a device: Expanding Arms: Four dashed horizontal arrows—two pointing left and two pointing right—indicate pulling the two outer clamp arms outward in opposite directions to expand the width of the cradle. Mounting Base: A central rear hub features a tightening knob mounted onto a threaded swivel stud. Label Pointer: An arrow labeled "fig. k" points to a small release tab or locking mechanism located on the lower right edge of the central hub assembly.
