It can be adjusted almost any direction, but I'm not sure how well it will work as a document camera holder.

It's a flat surface (i.e. desktop) with two small lips/tabs that stick up from the bottom. you can tilt the desktop up to a convenient reading angle and the tabs should hold the iPad without moving. Getting one of those inexpensive sticky mats would make for an even more stable solution.

That's up to your tripod. This is just an attachment to hold your iPad to a standard tri-pod screw-on adapter. You will have to probably use the front facing camera which is a lower resolution.

Sorry Brian, for the delay. I tried with my Ipad Air and I can take pictures and shoots, the len is not covered. However, because the arm lies on the dashboard, it may be that a large part of the visual is covered by the dashboard itself. Things get better if you turn the tablet vertically. Then, I think, it really depends on the shape of the dashboard.

Yes, definitely! They've designed the stand with a slot in the bottom to accomodate the charging/power cable. You would connect the iPad to it's cable before you put it into the stand. Also, another easy way to have the iPad in the stand while connected is to simply turn the iPad so that the port is at the top instead of the bottom which of course, puts the 'home' button at the top of the screen too so you may or may not care for that ;-)

Yes it will stand in a portrait position so you can set it down and view; but it is not really stable enough to push the iPad unless you hold the iPad with your other hand.

I use my iPad and an app called "Presentation Link" to run PDFs as presentations. I could not get the app to respond to the Pointer. I tried iBooks too and it worked, though in iBooks there's no way to get rid of the "page-turn" effect so it wasn't useful to me. I worked with a great technician at Satechi and we were unable to find a compatible app that would work with the Pointer and allow me to set transitions to "None". It was a handsome and well made device that does exactly what the description says: "Works with Keynote on iOS (in accessibility mode), Keynote, Powerpoint, Google Docs, Prezi on Mac & PC" At the Apple store when I asked about a remote for the iPad they suggested I ask Best Buy. That's when I should have known it was time to sell my Apple stock.

Don't know. My husband just uses it for storage. He finds it easier to just show photos on his ipad itself. Then moves them when he is done.

If you are referring to using it as a stand the answer is Yes. The case remains horizontal and the iPad can rotate to a vertical position. There are two slots you can use to rest the bottom of the iPad in to change the viewing angle.

Hi. I actually just tried it to see what would happen. I'm not sure if I need you to sign some kind of agreement that you won't sue me if something bad happens to your laptop but here goes anyway. Now not sure if you saw my review but I give you fair warning that I'm not entirely sure I put the stand together correctly. However it holds paper so seems to be right. I only say this because I saw a response that said you can't tilt the desk (top) all the way back but I can. So I either assembled it wrong or that person is wrong. Anyway I was able to to tilt it totally level and put my laptop on it (I have a 15in macbook). It's sturdy in the middle where the stand joins the top but it's a bit wobbly from side to side. However it bore the weight without anything happening (I only tested it for about a minute). I think it's a little risky because there's nothing keeping it on the stand if someone were to ever accidentally knock into it. And again it is wobbly from side to side. I think you could risk it but I wonder if there's something slightly better out there for that purpose. Honestly my vote is that it's wobbly enough to make me too uncomfortable. Do you have iPad? That would work perfectly with the stand in the correct position.

I don't know how the ipad air would respond to it but with my tablet I have to push a bit for it to respond, I would think it would work well for note taking. Sorry, I hope you find something that will work well for you.

Yes. You can position it so that the iPad is parallel with the floor face up or down. Literally you can position the device in ANY direction. I loved it so much that I bought one for my father for Christmas. I'm a dentist and use it over my patient's head with a pair of blue tooth headphones so they can watch TV or a movie while I work. They love it! The iPad is parallel to the floor at that point. You'll find so many other uses for it. Hope you enjoy!

You can. Then you will have your documents in the MediaShair app. What I miss is the chance to "OPEN IN" those documents in different apps like Adobe Acrobat, once you have them in your iPad.

You can position the pad anyway you want. It is a good product for watching or reading, but excessive tapping on the screen makes the stand wobble. The weight of the pad is too much for the stand. You can reach all buttons, but the silent and lock buttons are tight.

No. You have to tilt the whole thing. So, if you want vertical viewing you would set the thing up like a book...having the flap on one side and the Ipad on the other.

Interesting question. You could use the stand, after adjusting the bottom angle holders. However, I wouldn't recommend it for an iPad3 or any iPad. You could try it and advise though... This stand works amazingly well with laptops (which is why I purchased it). The stand is sturdy and well made.

it will support your ipad. it will shake a little after you touch it. but the ipad image stabilization software saves the day here. I felt my ipad was safe
