- Having an external monitor setup that's completely portable is an absolute game-changer for traveling, or even working at home in a small space.

Super helpful video! Exactly what I was looking for! 😀
love your setup
thx dude, you inspired me for portable office solution
Super helpful video! Exactly what I was looking for!
Really glad to hear it Luke!
This is so smart!
This is a great idea! Just tried it and it seems to work great, though the screens seem a bit far away and small. But yeah totally workable. Probably not something that I can use on a train but oh well.
Loved the video. What do you think about the SideTrak monitor ?
Nice one James. Way to go!! SUBSCRIBED :D
Cheers Sunny! 😄
Thanks
Nicd video bro…. Thanks!!
Buying the stand based on your recommendation!
That's so cool to hear Brett, it's a fantastic stand 👍
2:20 is there a setting to use the iPad key aboard on your MacBook?
Would work great with Windows and Samsung tablets too thanks
Yes! I love this setup. Totally recommend it. Cheaper elevated stands are also available that work just as well or perhaps better! I also recommend using an Apple mouse or trackpad as you will miss out on your swipe commands and the smooth scrolling with off-brand ones. Even the nice $100 mice like the Logitech MX Masters
Not entirely true. There are apps/scripts like xGestures that can bind these functions to your mouse by holding in the Scroll wheel for example. I recommend this way as the Apple mouse are absolutely horrible for ergonomics.
4:20 is it safe? My MB air screen seems too thin to hold an iPad
What keyboard and mouse do you use??? Does it matter on the Bluetooth type? My question is when using the bluetooth keyboard, that’s already connected and dual screening your laptop and iPad, can the Bluetooth mouse be used on your iPad? For an example, let’s say I’m getting a USB mouse and keyboard, but that can only plug into my laptop(without any extra extensions). Could that USB Bluetooth be used on my iPad as well? I think I made this more complicated than it actually is. But someone, PLEASE HELP I NEED TO KNOW ASAP FOR COLLEGE AND I CANT FIND ANY ANSWERS ANYWHERE 🥲
The command center setup in a library would have been crazy! 😂
Right? 😂 I kinda want to try it though...
Hello James,
Have you had any issues with the Mountie, I've read reviews and seen other UA-camrs comment that it has caused their laptop screen to crack. Being that you've been using the device for a while is this something you still recommend?
Thank you in advance.
My rubber inserts stretched after over a year of ownership so my iPad slides right out after a few minutes, rendering the whole thing useless...
My iPad got too hot doing it the first way. I don’t have a case on it, though, so maybe that would help?
Is it forbidden to attach ipad above macbook with mountie?
would the clip not damage the screen of the macbook over time as the 12.9 ipad pro is quite heavy?
I think so, its pretty heavy
The macbook is 3 times heavier if not more
So I’m pretty sure I can’t do this cuz I have a MacBook Air 2017 and a iPad 7th gen 2019
iPad resting on the keyboard doesn’t press any keys?
Nope!
smart ... as ... fuck ...
Nice, but why don't you just put the iPad on a tripod stand behind the MacBook? You can now get rid of external keyboard, trackpad and stand.
You can’t connect two iPads on sidecar. Only one at a time
what's wrong with that dead eye?
100% of video is his face? Really? Egocentric
