[Reader-users] An IntroductionAnd AQuestionAboutPositioningDocument For Reading

[Pam Drake]

Does the stand have to be disassembled if it is to be carried?  How small a
package results?  My main reason for not just jumping to order one is
portability.  

Just curious, and I'll have a better idea of whether I want to purchase it
if I can't learn to read comfortably without it.

Hi Bill:

The stand can be purchased from the NFB "Independence Market" for $150.00.
The stand has a base consisting of two parallel legs connected by a third
cross-arm that runs between the two.  These legs form a reading area that is
slightly wider than an 8-1/2 inch wide page.  The legs form the left and
right boundaries of the viewing area, and the connecting cross-arm is the
top.  The corners at the right and left top are eich 90 degrees.  

The other part to the stand is the cradle and extension arm which slides
into a slot in the base.  The slot is preconfigured to place the extension
arm and cradle at an angle so the cradle is held at 15 inches above the
viewing area and lined up so the camera can take a perfect picture every
time.  The cradle holds the Reader in the right position with no need to
attach the Reader with mounting brackets or screws.  It is very convenient
to remove without disturbing the alignment of the stand.  

Thanks, J. G.

Hi, list.  

Glad I'm back on after an absence.  

Just curious, how much does that stand cost and can you describe it?
