![[text] The Sketchboard Pro is an iPad stand designed for artists. It’s compatible with over 30 sizes of iPad. It retails for $119. There are spots for placing an Apple Pencil upright or connected to the iPad for charging as well as openings for the camera and power cable. The iPad fits snugly so the entire surface is flat.

![[text] There are four pop-out legs on the back so the board can stand (with two legs at a time) at an angle in any direction. The board measures 19.5 x 17 inches (49.5 x 43.2 cm).

![[text] The Sketchboard Pro sits at a 20 degree angle and weighs 4.5 lbs (about 2 kg). It can also stand upright like an easel, but I found this position to be less stable.

![[text] I tested the Sketchboard Pro with a 12.9” iPad (2019). Combined, they weighed about 5.6 lbs (2.54 kg). I found the board easy to use at a desk or table, but more cumbersome in casual settings such as a couch.

![[text] The Sketchboard Pro is a handy accessory for artists who work extensively on the iPad. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a digital drawing setup to mimic a traditional drafting table and hoping to save your posture.
