How does this work with a treadmill? Does the arm extend high and forward to place the iPad within good viewing range while running?

Yes, it will work with your treadmill. The only thing I would advise is that if you have a tall treadmill, get the taller version of the iPad Stand. I'm not sure if you saw that version on Amazon. The stand works great and the customer service is top notch!

I don't think it's tall enough for a treadmill. You'll have to look down in order to use it. You COULD use it, probably if you put it on a step stool and then you could swing it over in front of you. There may be better options out there? Good luck with your search!

I would not think so. Its really not tall enough to comfortable read in bed while lying down in you have one of the newer, taller mattresses.

Hi, Sonia. Yes, the tall Swingholder will extend up/over the top of my True treadmill. I have tried increasing the incline to the maximum and it still works, although I only use the 2-5% incline myself. I put the iPad so that it is right above the treadmill's display so that I can comfortably read my e-book and can also see basic functions on the treadmill's display like speed, distance, time, incline, etc. The treadmill has a little shelf for holding an iPad but I don't like craning my neck down to look at it, plus the iPad partially hides the treadmill's display that way. Make sure you're getting the tall Swingholder. I haven't found anything else out there that is so well-suited for reading while on my treadmill.

I have not, but I think you may be disappointed with your results. My experiences continues to be that this devices is most accurate and reliable when your forearm is held in a position that keeps it parallel to the ground as when you are running or fast walking. When the forearm is held in another position its performance is highly suspect. I was sent a firmware upgrade in May of this year that helped a little but it still isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

I wouldn't recommend it. The arm is pretty strong, but since you are using it on a treadmill the vibration plus the weight of the tablet might bring the arm down. If you find a flat surface next to your treadmill you might have better luck.

It will track on a treadmill BUT not if arms are stationary. According to a response from tech help, they recommend putting it on ankle if you are going to have arms stationary (or course that may mean getting a larger size so it fits more comfortably)

I am not sure how that would work. The arm band for my iPod works with a clip. This device has a clip with the belt clip. That doesn't seem secure enough to me to work while working out. The belt clip comes off my pants when I am not careful. Someone may have created an arm band that would work. But, I would carefully research that before I purchased it.

Any MP3 audio source (iPod, iPad, Android phone, ...) that supports standard 3.5mm headphone cable connector should work. I use a "1 foot 3.5mm Male Right Angle to 3.5mm Male Right Angle Gold Stereo Audio Cable (Amazon) to bridge my iPad to the treadmill.

Maybe, but first I would state to check the mounting point 75mm or 100mm. Also I would would not recommend this as I think it would move too much while running on the treadmill. You may also need to drill a hole to mount it as I don't think the clamp is going to hold it. Good luck.

Yes, but I have noticed when I jog with it locked it seems to pull to the side a little. I normally run with it unlocked and it doesn't have a wobble like I have encountered with other joggers.

I am 5'1" and use the TrekDesk. I was meticulous in measuring the lowest height of the trekdesk (from scematics on their website) and then checking the height of the treadmill panels before I bought a treadmill. The bottom of my treadmill panel is just below the lip of the desk. Also, I put a rubber mat under the treadmill to raise it up a bit. They recommend that anyway in case of oil leak.Mine works fine. After a few tens of times of jumping on and off I have to adjust the belt.

That would be an interesting addition. If you are considering the Varidesk single (which I love) the the answer is it depends on how tall you are. There are 11 height settings with the Varidesk. The tallest setting(which I use) does overhang the edge of the desk by a few inches. I would suspect this might be the setting you would want anyway given the extra height of the treadmill (assuming you're going to use a standard height for a desk). The arms of the Varidesk unit swing up from the back so the lower settings are further back on the desk. Hope that helps.

yes it would! I still use it as a ankle support while doing high endurance running on the treadmill. It is good for preventing ankle injuries!

Hi. The arm adjusts up and down very easily. I use it for both for my bed and while on a chair in the living room. I have a iPad, but it will work with any ereader. When I purchased it, I could not believe it that is was only small elactics holding the reader, but they work great. I would recommend extra straps, once they after they stretch a bit. I have this holder at my winter home and I am purchasing a second one for my summer home I love it so much.

Sounds like you are about the height of the woman in the picture of the treadmill. It was recommended by a man who was about 5'11 and was a personal trainer. It should be fine. I used it because it fit under my stand-up desk. I still use it there.If I had it to do over again I would look for one with a small footprint, like this, but with padding in the platform. It has worked fine for a few years now. We had to adjust the belt a couple of times because it would get off center and rub against the side making noxious smells of burning tread. But once we adjusted it was fine.

Yes. I like the device; however, don't plan on using it while doing any activity (i.e. running) b/c it fits a little loose.

I have a treadmill desk and it works perfectly over this particular treadmill. The arms are not a hindrance while I am walking and working on the treadmill

It really depends how far you extend the arm. The farther out you extend, the more the base starts to lean towards the weight (iPad). Of course hard floors give a more stable footing, but the carpet works fine also.
