Smart-Mount Makes Tablets and Smartphones More Ergonomic

Tired of always juggling your smartphone and tablet? There is now a relatively cheap solution, a new accessory called Smart-Mount, which is a portable, hands-free mount that allows users to quickly and easily set up a secure, ergonomic stand for their tablets or smartphones using camera tripods and other photography accessories.

"Wherever you want to watch movies, read e-books, capture high resolution photography or record stabilized high definition video, you can conveniently carry and quickly set up the hands-free mount for on-the-go use," said Kurt Woolford, inventor of the Smart-Mount, in an announcement.

Woolford came up with the idea for the Smart-Mount in his own search for a universal ergonomic solution.  He set out to develop a gadget with a design focus from the research of a recent collaborative study by the Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Microsoft.

Harvard and Microsoft released a tablet ergonomic study that found device users may be at risk of developing discomfort associated with pain in the neck and shoulders, or musculoskeletal disorders based on behaviors driven by the limitations of tablet computers.

The study suggests that head and neck posture can be improved through designs that provide higher elevation with steeper angle settings of the devices to allow for optimal viewing. With Smart-Mount, users set a self-adhesive belt clip onto a separate plastic case that fits their specific device.

The clip rotates to allow users to switch their devices between portrait and landscape orientation. An adapter securely locks into the clip and includes a universal threaded insert for use with camera tripods and other photography accessories. Users can quickly and easily attach and detach their devices using the adapter.

The Smart-Mount works with all portable electronic devices and is available for $19.99 on Amazon.
