Padcaster Case
Designed for most iPads, including the 9.7" iPad, 12.9" iPad Pro, and most models in between, as well as non-Apple tablets, the Padcaster Case lets you accessorize your tablet with external mics, lights, optics, and other accessories, thanks to sixteen threaded mounting holes. It also features a tripod thread and a locking pin notch, which allows it to be mounted on most tripods, monopods, and other support systems. There is also a 37mm lens bracket for attaching most thread-mount lenses, including Padcaster's wide-angle and telephoto lenses. This case features anodized aluminum construction, which helps increase its durability.

Padcaster Fluid Head Tripod/Monopod
For DSLR, mirrorless, iPad, smartphone, and action cameras, the Padcaster Fluid Head Tripod/Monopod is a flexible support platform that allows you to work on flat or uneven surfaces, undersling your camera for low shots, or remove one of the legs to create a monopod with a pan/tilt head. Supporting up to 13.2 lb, the tripod features a sliding balance plate so you can balance your camera and create smooth pans and tilts without having to fight the weight of your camera.
Featuring three-leg sections with clip locks, you can easily adjust the height of the legs, and the head's built-in bubble level makes leveling your camera a breeze on either flat or uneven surfaces. The tripod features a telescoping center column that mounts on one of the removable legs, and an integrated spring-loaded hook lets you hang weight to increase stability.
