It's every musician's nightmare: You're on stage. You're performing. But then something goes terribly wrong and your smartphone — which you're using to perform — suddenly crashes to the floor and its screen splinters into a million little glass pieces. It's enough to give anyone a heart attack. Now you can alleviate your fears and perform with confidence thanks to IK's new iKlip Xpand Mini.

The iKlip Xpand Mini is an adjustable smartphone holder that uses expandable grips that can hold most smartphone sizes securely. Its rubberised "Gorilla Grip" technology holds your mobile device on a microphone stand, and its ball joint design allows for infinite adjustment so you'll always have an optimal viewing angle.

iKlip Xpand Mini features a patented expandable holding bracket with a soft touch rubber contact surface that adjusts to the width of your device providing a safe and secure way to hold your smartphone firmly. With iKlip Xpand Mini, you can position your device exactly where you want it and rest assured it will stay in place.

iKlip Xpand Mini features several breakthrough technologies that allows it to hold virtually any smartphone with a screen size of 3.5" to 6". You can even use it without removing the protective case of many of your favourite devices. First, iKlip Xpand Mini features a patented expandable holding bracket that utilises an expansion “memory” bracket allowing you to quickly and easily snap an iPhone or any other smartphone into place and attach to a microphone stand. It has a rubberised “Gorilla Grip” surface that ensures a firm grip on the device without scratching or marring the surface. Its ball-joint global positioning system lets you precisely position your device at any angle for optimum viewing in both landscape and portrait modes.

iKlip Xpand Mini features a universal mounting bracket for microphone stand poles allowing it to be attached to mic stands up to 1.2” (30mm) in diameter. Now you have the flexibility to attach your device to either the vertical pole or horizontal boom of most microphone stands.

iKlip Xpand Mini makes it easy to use your iPhone, iPod touch or other Smartphone (like a Samsung Galaxy, Note, Nexus 4, HTC Desire or other, similarly sized device) on stage, even if it has a case on it. Now you can bring your favourite apps to the stage. Guitarists can use powerful real-time effects processors. Keyboard players can play with a whole galaxy of virtual instruments and synthesisers. DJs can enjoy mixing and other groove making apps. And musicians and performers of all kinds can have a clear view of their favourite lyric and chart apps.

When an iPhone, iPod touch or other smartphone is mounted in the iKlip Xpand Mini, all the device ports and controls are unobstructed. Now you can easily connect all your cables and make adjustments on the fly. Like all IK products, iKlip Xpand Mini has been designed and manufactured in Modena, Italy — a city famous for high-performance Italian industrial design. Each product goes through rigorous quality testing to ensure that it will deliver the utmost in dependability and quality — iKlip Xpand Mini is designed to last performance after performance and night after night. We use only the highest quality components and materials so that you can do what you love and perform with confidence.
