Dunlop's SturdyStand: not for resting your beer on.

MusicRadar Verdict

We'd sooner pay out for the SturdyStand than a broken iPad…

Pros

    Solid and useful piece of kit.

Cons

  • -

    The price of admission seems a little high.

MusicRadar's got your back Our team of expert musicians and producers spends hours testing products to help you choose the best music-making gear for you. Find out more about how we test.

With the sheer number of guitarist-oriented apps and gizmos pouring out of the woodwork these days, it should come as no surprise that some musicians are starting to incorporate Apple's iOS devices into their live rigs.

For those people, Dunlop has introduced the SturdyStand, allowing you to fix your iPad or iPhone to your mic stand for easy access to tab, lyrics or even the odd impromptu game of Angry Birds mid-set.

Stuart has been working for guitar publications since 2008, beginning his career as Reviews Editor for Total Guitar before becoming Editor for six years. During this time, he and the team brought the magazine into the modern age with digital editions, a Youtube channel and the Apple chart-bothering Total Guitar Podcast. Stuart has also served as a freelance writer for Guitar World, Guitarist and MusicRadar reviewing hundreds of products spanning everything from acoustic guitars to valve amps, modelers and plugins. When not spouting his opinions on the best new gear, Stuart has been reminded on many occasions that the 'never meet your heroes' rule is entirely wrong, clocking-up interviews with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Green Day and many, many more.
