iKlip Mini Review

IK Multimedia has done it again! For those of you with an iPod Touch or iPhone4, DJ’ing and creating music just got a little easier by way of a handy gadget. The iKlip Mini microphone stand adaptor holds your device securely while a large screw adjusts to the diameter of any microphone stand, pole, or tripod with the diameter of 11- 20 millimeters. It has an additional piece which holds an iRig adaptor, so if you use software apps like Amplitube, the adaptor conveniently holds the iRig in place.

Of course, there are more uses than just music creation and entertainment. Check out my video review of the iKlip Mini on my Youtube channel, Yourlilchinagirl:

The iKlip Mini is made of hard, durable plastic. The spring loaded portion that holds your device is very secure (even more so than the standard “claw” tripods I’ve reviewed in the past), because there is no way I’d put my iPhone4 at risk out of its case if I thought for a second it wouldn’t hold. Over curbs, railroad tracks, potholes, and driveways, it held tight! Impressive, eh?

Of course, this is just one more great product from IKMultimedia that I’m adding to my collection to help me create music and provide entertainment. The even better news: IKMultimedia has agreed to ship me a few extra items from their family of products to give away during the Old Rainier Brewery Artwalk. If you make a donation to Give Meshelly A Hand (my personal fundraiser for Meshelly George, who is a candidate for a hand transplant from the Mayo Clinic) sometime during the evening of October 15, your name will be entered in a drawing to win one of these items from IKMultimedia.

While you might balk at a price point of $39.99, remember that this gadget is sturdy. It attaches the way a bike lamp does: with a large and durable screw. Frankly, I haven’t seen anything as good as this, and if it can handle your device on the road, it certainly can handle it on the stage. For those of you who will be purchasing an iPhone5 next month: I haven’t heard word about the new iPhone5′s design specs to know if it will fit as snugly in the iKlip Mini, so I’ll give you an update when it comes out. As long as the depth of the iPhone5 does not exceed the iPhone4, and as long as the curved design does not defy the iKlip Mini’s fit, you’re looking at a well-designed gadget that’s going to get a lot of use!
