    This thing is a god send, since it swivels on the base, I can get out of my chair by simply swinging it to the side(for such a SIMPLE function, I had to buy a WHOLE new clamp mount to do this, but it was a function I needed desperately once I figured it out). However, I have not used this product as an overhead bed reader. So I don't know how "well" it would do in such a weird position.

    Previously, I bought two goosenecks before, the first one was too weak, so when I poke the the screen on my phone, the entire thing would jiggle like
    a pendulum with no end to the swinging... So I bought my SECOND gooseneck, it was very strong, doesn't wobble, alas, I use the thing attached to my chair like those airplane inflight seat entertainment TVs, you know, the ones you can pull out and swing infront of your chair.... The gooseneck was too stiff, so if I wanted to get out of my chair, I had to take the entire thing off the side...

    I used it with a normal phone, and I used it with mini netbook, the netbook was 500 grams in weight, the clamp(or the claw) was firm enough to hold the netbook in place, and when i poke the screen, the entire assembly stays very stiff, very satisfied. As a bonus, the entire stand is super lightweight, as in the materials built in it is very light. It's a good thing for my situation. And a bad thing if you use very very heavy tablets.

    IMO, goosenecks are good only if you want a tablet/phone mounted in a position where, 1. it doesn't directly come in path with the human leaving the computer desk or whatever medium the human was resting in. 2. You don't frequently adjust the device in said position.

    If you want it to hang over your bed, or your chair, it is highly possible you will have to 1. get out of the bed and hit the tablet directly above your head, or 2. you can't get out of your chair because it's right infront of you blocking your path. You would want this product instead.
