There’s not much to separate IK’s iKlips from the Griffin Mic Stand Mount, but the crucial difference is that the IK products clamp to the tubing of your mic stand rather than the threaded mount itself, providing a secure grip for your device while still allowing you to mount a mic on the stand.

Like the Griffin version, the iKlip can be used with both first and second generation iPads, while the iKlip Mini is suitable for iPhones and iPod Touches. The Mini also includes a detachable iRig bracket, avoiding the need to hang your guitar interface by the cable.

We can’t figure out why the iPad version doesn’t offer the same feature, but despite that this omission, both Klips are sturdy, well-built solutions for mounting your hardware.
