How to use iPad as a monitor for artists

More and more these days I see students using their tablets as reference monitors in their studios. I also see this in the workshops. But I also see set ups that make it hard to view the image. In this short video post I want to share with you how I use my iPad in the studio with a pretty cool little arm set up that I think you will find very useful. Below the video I am giving you direct links to each part that you will need to get so you do not have to search the depths of the internet :)

These are the direct links to each part of this set up. You will also need a ball head to mount the iPad holder to.
