It has a great range of positions, but I don't think you can get it to a position upside down and 180F flat. We set it up just above her head so my sister can watch videos while laying flat on her back in bed, so it is close to upside down flat, but not all the way flat (maybe 20 degrees from flat). Hope that helps.

Yes. You can adjust the ipad stand so the front camera works quite well. I tried it myself. There is an opening for the ipad camera. Good luck. Hank

The iPad sits in the slot just after the keyboard keys toward the top. It invaded the iPad but when not used as cover can be used as a stand. Do you have an additional cover on your iPad. If so it may not fit down in that slot.

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 use primarily as an iPad stand, actually. It does have two pressure bars on the bottom which I think are there to swing up and hold a book open. It is a quality stand...solid.

I don't know how to use it directly with a camera. However, while viewing an image on a computer monitor, the image can be saved. This may not help because I am not familiar with a document camera and how it differs from any other camera. Good luck.

You know, the more I think about it... the more it makes sense. This would be a perfect device to use with an iPad as a presentation device. It's strong enough to hold an iPad and documents. But not quite strong to hold the more heavy laptops.

You would use Apple's Camera Connector Kit, which plus in to the dock connector on the bottom of the iPad (1-3 models) and then provides a USB port. This would hook up to that, and is it doesn't take too much power, it may work. I have plugged up USB keyboards to the iPad that way, but never an adapter. The iPad USB port has limited power, so if this adapter draws too much, it will not work. In that case, you would plug a powered USB hub (that plugs in to wall power) in to the camera connector kit, then plug this in to that. I have not tested that, but I have plugged up USB joysticks and such to an adapter I built in to the USB port on the iPad just fine.

It depends on how your vehicle's dash is configured. The mount arm must rest on the dash for support. If the dash is low, or angled downward, it may not work. I cannot use my iPad as a dash cam with this mount. But on the flipside it is a great mount at a great price.

I have an iPad Air, and it does great. The mount is larger than the iPad because it's not exclusively for the iPad. This is a terrific stand. I've bought many, and this is the best!

Yes it can. I mounted mine to the light weight Sunpak 8001 UT tripod and I use it right by my bed all the time. It has made using the IPod a dream. I constantly go between landscape mode and portrait. Most of the time I find myself using landscape because it's easy since the tripod is holding it up for me. With this tripod it is totally flexible as to the mode you use as well as the height and angle of view. I found me a THANG when I mated these two items and I really enjoy my Ipad in bed now. The Nootle is attached via a threaded bolt and you just turn it to get the Ipad in the mode you want. You can rotate it round and round until it is "tight" if you want to. It's just up to you.

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.

The iPad 2 mount works great. I use it in class to video peer teaching. It's sturdy and easy to use.

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.

You need an air mid 2011 or newer running moutain lion or newer. Then you can mirror using the built-in airplay functionality. I had good luck with this device using ios6 on the iPad with this device, but ios7 is hit or miss for video, audio always works. You may find the same problem with newer versions of OSX. Also not all tv'a recognize this device as a valid HDMI input

For whatever bizarre reason, Amazon has two different products, the stand for the iMac and the stand for the iPad listed as one product. I can only speak for the iMac stand. It is a great stand, and has room to tuck away a USB hub. However the stand itself is purely an aircraft aluminum stand. There is no connectivity of any kind. There are plenty of opportunities to hide wires here and there. But it is not any sort of hub.

I haven't had an opportunity to try this yet. I found the base so heavy (which is good for stability) that it didn't suit my needs. I seem to recall you can do this with your iPad in portrait or landscape directions.
