The mounting system has three parts: a mounting platform, a light duty mounting arm, and a clamp. The mounting platform is designed for easy access to all of the iPad’s electronic ports. It also has two flexible cords to securely hold the iPad. The light duty mounting arm expands from 14½" to 24" for maximum flexibility and reach. The clamp allows you to easily mount the system to a wheelchair or tabletop. The Mounting System works with all generations of the iPad & iPad Air (not iPad Mini).
