I've come into a bit of money and it seems like its time for me to get one of those arms for my Intuos so I can actually draw from the shoulder instead of having it basically be flat on the table.
What to get? Are they strong? I dont want to overspend, or underspend.
I'm talking about a swivel arm like this. Note : I have an intuos, not a cintiq so it has no mounting bracket.

look up cookbook holders

They wont be strong enough when I push on them for pressure drawing to not tip over
Nor will they be able to move vertically / horizontally depending on where I want to draw, and if i want to stand and draw for example.

but how well does it hold an intuous?

the angle is far too shallow, I want something that could look like an easel if I wanted to, but at the same time adjust to other positions and still be strong when pressure is applied
>>2393791
Psss...hey, kid, I show you little russian smekalochka. Don't tell anyone
>>2393797
not even close to strong enough
>>2393808
Use smekalochka and add some weight. And sandpaper if you table is too smooth
>>2393820
what im saying is i want the stand to be raised up off the table , maybe a foot or more, Theres nothing to hold it down when i apply pressure to the tablet. This is why i requested an arm to attach to my desk
>>2393828
Okay, use smekalochka and BUILD this fuckin shit from wood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIsDoKyan00

So it seems like the only thing I can do is get a cintiq companion 2 which has a vesa mounting plate and get an ergo arm? What if I like my intuos?
>>2393782
got this thing today. its great
>>2392829
Save money and just get a Cintiq.

Imo from trying them they are overpriced and not portable
>>2392829
for cheaper you can get a 24" x 36" drafting table, then use some cheap grip mats for your keyboard and (trackball)mouse. But your monitor might have to be wall mounted.

For cheaper, save yourself the hassle and get an easle. I use it for my cintiq because the stand that came with it is garbage. Cost me $5 for one in I think walmart and works fine. It holds up to pressure when I draw and I press pretty hard most of the time.
I had a drafting table but didn't like it for digital art. If I were a traditional artist it'd be well more worth it. Really the angle threw me off a lot and it made the desk unusable for anything but drawing. I prefer my new desk since I can use it whether I'm drawing or not. Plus, I can set a drink down and not have it slide off slowly.

How do you position the easle so you can still use your keyboard shortcuts and look at the monitor?

Can you provide a pic of your setup please?
