If you find yourself lugging around your iPad on a regular basis, you probably need a stand that’s as mobile as it is effective. Compass Pro perfectly fits the bill with its durable, folding design that’s ready when you need it.

Built by the brilliant minds at Twelve South, the Compass Pro is made from ultra-tough metal and can be adjusted for everything you might want to do with your iPad — including drawing, typing, and watching movies.

Compass Pro is the ultimate mobile iPad stand

One of the things that makes iPad so spectacular is that it’s the ideal device for a wide range of tasks. Whether you’re catching up on your favorite show, taking notes in class, or trying to stay product on the move, iPad is more than capable.

But it needs accessories that can keep up, and when it comes to choosing a stand, things get tricky. If you want to use it for more than one thing, it needs to be adjustable. If you need it to be portable, you have to sacrifice strength.

That’s not so with the Compass Pro. It’s not only built from strong metals that ensure it’s not going to fail you when you need it most, but it folds down small enough to slip into any bag. And it’s adjustable for almost any use case.

Compass Pro is good for everything

Twelve South describes Compass Pro as iPad’s easel. It looks a lot like one at first glance — with three legs that hold up your iPad for watching movies, taking hands-free FaceTime calls, and using Universal Control alongside your Mac.

Its rear leg is adjustable so that you can get the perfect viewing angle. And when you want to draw or type out an email, you can fold it down and flip out a smaller leg that provides just enough tilt for a more comfortable experience.

Carefully placed silicone pads keep your iPad free from scratches while the Compass Pro cradles it. And Twelve South includes a slim and lightweight pouch that keeps the stand protected when you’re not using it.

No matter what you use your iPad for, then, Compass Pro is the only stand you need. It’s compatible with all iPad models — and available now from the Cult of Mac Store for $59.99.
