IK iKlip Xpand – Universal Mic Stand Mount for iPad & Tablets

The iKlip Xpand is a universal mic stand mount for iPads and tablets, made for singers, guitarists, keyboard players, worship teams and teachers who read lyrics, charts or sheet music from a tablet on stage or in rehearsal. It clamps to a standard mic stand and holds your tablet securely at the angle you need, so you can focus on the performance.

Four Expandable Grips for a Secure Hold

The iKlip Xpand uses four expandable arms on a spring-loaded “memory” bracket. Pull the arms open, drop your tablet in, and they close firmly around its edges. The contact points use a soft rubberised “Gorilla Grip” surface that holds the device without scratching it, and the bracket leaves your buttons and ports free to use.

The holding bracket opens from 153.5mm to 220.8mm. IK lists support for iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro and other tablets with screens from 7″ to 12.9″, and you do not need to take your tablet out of its case first.

Tilt, Swivel and Rotate

A ball joint connects the tablet holder to the stand clamp, so you can tilt and swivel your tablet to the best viewing angle. It works in both portrait and landscape orientation, and you can switch between the two without removing the tablet. That makes it easy to go from a lyric sheet in portrait to a mixing app or video call in landscape.

Fits Standard Mic Stands

The universal clamp attaches to any mic stand or pole up to 30mm (1.2″) in diameter. You can mount it on your vocal mic stand, on a separate stand next to your keyboard, or on a music stand pole. Many musicians keep a dedicated stand for their tablet so it stays in one spot while they play.

Built for the Road

The mount is made from heavy-duty thermoplastic and weighs just 230g, so it adds almost nothing to your gig bag. Like all iKlip products, it is designed and made in Modena, Italy, and goes through IK’s quality testing to stand up to regular gigging.

Turn Your Tablet into a Stage Tool

IK’s free iKlip Stage app lets you organise and display lyrics, chord charts, tabs and scores. Add a Bluetooth page turner and you can flip pages with your foot while your hands stay on your instrument.

Who Is It For?

• Singers and bands who read lyrics or set lists from an iPad
• Keyboard players and guitarists using charts, tabs or tablet-based apps
• Church and worship teams reading chord sheets on stage
• Music teachers, presenters and podcasters who want a tablet at eye level

For a smartphone, the iKlip Xpand is too large. Choose the iKlip Xpand Mini instead.

iKlip Xpand vs iKlip Xpand Mini and iKlip 3

iKlip Xpand Mini uses the same grip and clamp design, sized for smartphones. iKlip 3 is IK’s newer tablet mount for 7″ to 12.9″ tablets, and it is also offered in Video and Deluxe versions with tripod and camera mounting options. Choose the iKlip Xpand if you mainly need a light, simple tablet holder for a mic stand. Find more mounting options in our stands and accessories ranges.

FAQ

Will the iKlip Xpand fit my iPad Pro 12.9″ in a case?

IK lists screen sizes up to 12.9″ with a case, and the bracket opens to 220.8mm. Measure the short side of your iPad with its case on. If it is under about 220mm, it should fit.

Can I switch between portrait and landscape?

Yes. You can rotate the tablet between portrait and landscape without taking it out of the mount.

What size mic stand does it fit?

It clamps to poles up to 30mm (1.2″) in diameter, which covers standard mic stands and most music stand poles.

Does it block the charging port or buttons?

No. The grips are designed to leave buttons and ports accessible, so you can charge or plug in an audio interface while mounted.

Does it work with Android tablets?

Yes. It is a universal mount and holds any tablet that fits the bracket, not just iPads.

Can I use it with a phone?

It is designed for tablets. For smartphones, the iKlip Xpand Mini is the right size.
