It's really not very good.
I would have happily paid a little more for a better product. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything available right now, especially if you're looking for a tripod holder for the 12" iPad Pro. Here are my main complaints:1. The thread for the tripod screw is flimsy. I tried to attach this thing to a Manfrotto quick change plate. Since the iPad is heavy and this clamp needs to be installed diagonally, there was simply no way to attach it securely. It kept coming loose whenever I tried to move it into a useable position. I gave up before sending my 1000$ crashing to the floor.2. You have to get a separate ball joint to install this thing at a 90 degree angle. No telling how much that would exacerbate the above problem. I'm not willing to spend extra money to try and salvage this mistake.3. The edges are sharp. Hold this thing in your hand and shake it. It rattles and simply does not inspire confidence. You can tell it's an inferior product, just by looking at it. That would be annoying if it was 12$. At this price, it's unacceptable. The seller is trying to mitigate the problem by posting overly confident responses to people's questions. Believe the duped consumers and their reviews. I'm glad I have this opportunity to nudge the rating down some more, because it's still too high at this point.4. You have to rig something to push the iPad forward so the corner holders start to take effect. I tried putting a kitchen sponge behind the device. Professional!!!5. The plastic screws that are important to fix the position of the two v-shaped holder pieces don't hold on tightly enough. There is still play, even after tightening them uncomfortably.In conclusion: keep in mind how much you paid for your tablet. Do you really want to endanger it with a poorly designed clamp? I don't, and I won't. I'm not surprised that once again you get what you paid for. Here's hoping a better designed product will come along soon, even if it costs twice as much as this wobbly frustration.

Workable, But a serious weighting/balance issue for 12 inch iPad
I have used this product for some time now. For the most part, it works. However, I got it for my 12inch iPad and discovered a balance issue. This was originally designed for smaller devices. For the larger model ipad (12inch), they send an extender arm. This was not a problem I expected. I found out day 1 when I turned to pick up a script, while recording. I turned back and my subject was nearly out of frame. My ipad was moving from a horizontal shot, to vertical. It's own weight pulling it down. Enter the bungee cord, which has been part of my kit, ever since! This was never designed for the 12inch. They made it clear it was an extender arm, but I was still surprised by how badly it handles the weight. There was no indication this might be an issue to prepare for. Maybe, when sending extender arm for larger pads, they could send a 'glue on weight', to add to the shorter side, to counter the weighting/balance problem!

Great customer service for solution to portrait use!
Latest update: though the initial design of the iShot did not allow for portrait use with the iPad pro, the new longer arm they sent does! It fits great with plenty of room for a case to be on while in use. More then then the product I am thoroughly impressed with the customer service and the speed and which the problem was discovered and fixed! Thank you!!!Previous review:Just got this and tried to put it on my iPad pro. It does not extend enough to go corner to corner as stated in the directions. Any other way you try to make it work the iPad pro is not secure. If you are buying this for your iPad pro do not! I'm sure it is great for other smaller tablets but definitely not for the iPad pro, which is the only reason I purchased this.Update:I was just contacted by constomer service and they acknowledged that they initially uploaded incorrect images for instillation. Since I only you the tripod mount when using ForScore for music reading it is imperative for it to be in a portrait position not landscape. iShot is aware of this and is coming out with a new version to accommodate this need for musicians and others who need the iPad pro to be in a portrait position securely. A new mount will be headed my way. I will update my rating when it arrives!

It doesn't fit like the picture portrays
It doesn't fit like the picture portrays. It fits the iPad Pro only on the short side of the iPad - not corner to corner like the photo shows. It works but by not securing the iPad at the corners does allow it to "slip" out of the mount. I've tried using it several times to have the iPad slip from position. Luckily, I was able to catch it before it fell. Like I said, it works - as in it holds the iPad Pro - but not securely. Definitely needs an upgraded design.

Best iPad Pro Holder Found!
Although this unit can be used with smaller iPads, I bought it mainly for the iPad Pro.So this review is mainly focusing on the iPad Pro application.Here is my opinion of this unit for reference only.Excellent design and hi-quality built.Came with a longer arm to fit a 12.9" iPad Pro nicely in portrait or horizontal mode.Best to install it on a good and steady tripod with a ball head (or similar mechanism).The ball head enable the adjustment of the viewing angle easily to fit the application need.If installed on a mini tripod, need to pay attention to the stability of the set up.Note: Once the iPad Pro is installed on the holder, SmartKeyboard can no longer be used.

iShot has heard its customers and has re-engineered this product!
UPDATE: iShot Pro reached out to me after I'd posted a negative review and offered to send me, at no charge, a longer arm that would allow its bracket to clamp securely across the diagonal corners.Original review: It feels like they just took a bracket designed for a regular full-size iPad and repackaged it for iPad Pro. However, while it may hold an iPad securely because it is designed to clamp across diagonal corners, this bracket is not long enough to do the same on the iPad Pro; it can only clamp across the tablet, as shown in the pictures. The problem is that it's really hard to tighten it enough to prevent it from slipping in portrait mode.

Plus ou moins bon, j'ai pas aimé
Le produit est bien fait, mais je n'ai pas aimé la façon dont il tient la tablette en place.C'est trop dangereux que la tablette tombe au sol. De plus je ne pouvais pas le placer à la vertical.Je l'ai retourné pour remboursement

Poor design, too expensive, no trust
Poor design, iPad 12.9 won't fit easily corner to corner. Locking knobs were loose even when tightened. Long arm is not long enough for a 12.9 iPad pro. Inserting iPad 12.9 in stand is not easy, arms are too short. If the sliding arm would go further half of an inch, it would be much easier to insert the iPad. Inserting an iPad 12.9 with a case is almost impossible. I was willing to pay more for a quality product, safe and easy to use. This item is not safe for a 12.9 iPad PRO and is not easy to use.https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B015NI6S5E/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Was not as describe, works for iPad Pro, ...
Was not as describe, works for iPad Pro, but just. Does not hold the iPad from corner to corner, only in landscape mode, so not as secure.
