At the end of my review of LookBad's Airholder is a section on their "Handy" accessory. This post is a how-to make a "DIY Portable Airholder" using the "Handy".

Pros:

Portability, can be used in any room, out on the deck or even camping

Assemble/Disassemble with only a flat head screw driver

Once disassembled it is easy to pack away (closet, trunk ... etc)

Many different adjustments can be made to accomodate your preferred Tablet viewing position

You may already have some of the required components gathering dust in a closet (I did).

Except for a small block of scrap wood none of the components are damaged so they can be reused for their original purpose

Significantly more stable than a music microphone boom stand

A music microphone boom stand is more expensive than most adjustable camera tripods

Cons:

When located indoors it has a low WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)

With most camera tripods the DIY Portable Airholder will function best only on the left hand side of your sitting position due to the tripod's handle location

Components:

Lookbad: Multicase $32.99USD and Handy $16USD

Flat head screw driver

Two steep clamps they need to be long enough to encircle the tripod camera base and wooden block. Easily located at any hardware store or plumbing supply. My steep clamps are #24 11/16 2" (26.9 - 50.8mm).

Adjustable camera tripod (this is just an example tripod)

Weighted practice golf club. There are many alternatives for this component. It so happens that this is what I am using as it was gathering dust in a closet. The component should have a counter weight and be around 27" (174cm) long. A rubber grip is important to counter the tablet's downward torque while providing a firm grip for the Handy.

Tablet: Any 5" to 11" tablet (e.g Nexus 10)

Optional components:

Charging cable and charger

A Velcro cable tie for securing the wall charger to the tripod

Two common wire ties to secure your tablet charging cable to the weighted golf practice club's shaft

How-To:

The majority of effort is to groove the block of scrap wood. This implementation used:

A scrap 1-1/2"x3/4"x4-1/2" (WxHxL) piece of Poplar. Many other wood alternative can be substituted also adjust size to fit tripod camera platform.

The groove was cut with a table saw. Many small cut where made until the practice Golf club metal shaft fit snuggly into the resulting groove. A snug NOT loose fit is essential so the shaft does not twist due to torque when the tablet is attached. A snug fit avoids the need to use glue.

A wood chisel was used to remove the excess wood where the steep clamps are anchored

A wood rasp was used to smooth out the wood where the steep clamps are anchored

A hole was drilled into the groove to accomodate the tripod's camera fastening screw. The hole is slightly larger than the fastening screw.

View the labeled pictures to see how all the components are assembled

NOTE: Using the Camera Tripod's handle to swing the tablet away or back is much safer and easier than pushing/pulling the shaft holding the tablet.

This was a Father/Son joint project with Son creating the prototype and Father converting that prototype into a production model. Thanks Dad :)
