Human beings are, after all, pack animals. In the context of evolution, this actually makes quite a lot of sense. In the hierarchy of nightmares, a great many people rank public speaking toward the very top. These are among the best options on the market with some specialty applications, but one thing tying all these offerings together might just be their pricing, as the all range into the four-figures territory. These include both the Ikan PT3700 Kit and the pair of models in our special honors section.
Then, there are models that come with their own screens and circumvent this issue altogether.
The tripod could then be bumped hard enough, or a vertical adjustment on a video head be left too loose, and one of the most expensive components in your entire setup could come tumbling to the ground.īy comparison, a model like the Proaim Universal Professional P-TP300 has an eight-point security system that borders on difficult to use because it grips your tablet so securely. That's what led us to remove both the Prompt-it Maxi Beamsplitter and the InteractMedia Mini R810-10 from our ranking, as neither had a particularly reliable system for holding your device in place. Since so many of these models have come to rely on their owner's smartphones and tablets for use as monitors, we wanted to make sure that the platforms on which you're meant to place your device were as sturdy as possible.
Otherwise, the Ikan PT3700 TK remains the best professional option and the Glide Gear TMP100 provides plenty of bang for the buck. Granted, it doesn't work perfectly on most laptops out of the box, but it's one of the rare options that should do so with just minor modification. Instead, we've added the Glide Gear TMP 75 partly because it's designed for use on laptops. An older model from OneTakeOnly has fallen out of stock and been surpassed in performance by some of the less expensive models on our list, so it's been removed.
