Tablets have proven to be indispensible windows on our work, whether it's working with images or just reading text. But propping one up is always an adventure. iStabilizer hopes to end the drama with its $99.95 tabArm, an 11-inch stainless steel articulated arm that clamps onto the tablet and has fittings to attach the arm to just about anything.

Here's a short video showing off the design:

The variety of connectors to mount the arm are impressive, including both male and female tripod mounts, a hot shoe mount and a clamp that includes several screw connections (both male and female).

That makes it possible to mount the arm on everything from tables to car seats, including tripods, of course.
