VPAD+ Accessories
February 23, 2009
Now you’ve got your uber-cool VPAD+ from Viable. Now you’ve got to put it someplace!
Clear View Innovations — otherwise known as CVI Gear — has three mounts and stands for the VPAD+ which may help you decide. All three are useful for freeing up space on your desk or counter, and for raising the VPAD+ to eye level.
The CVI Flexarm Mount is a doo-hickey that clamps to the edge of a kitchen counter or desk, and has a flexible arm that can be bent one way or another.
The CVI Pivot Mount is similar to the Flexarm Mount in that it clamps to the edge of your kitchen counter or desk. It has a longer and straight arm that has a 360 degrees pivot for eye-level communications.
The CVI Table Stand can be put onto a table without having to clamp it to an edge. And you can quickly move the VPAD+ and stand to another location.
All three products are made to order. So if you want to hang your VPAD+ from up high, say from the top edge of your armoire or bookshelf, the manufacturer can make a “reverse” mount to make this easier for you. All three products are $99.99.

Are you serious? $99 for the mount? Who would pay for that?

I have to agree.. That’s an exorbitant amount considering the VPAD itself is $99. Shoot, this mount actually costs .99 cents MORE than the VPAD.
Everyone has to make money, but this isn’t the way to do it.
One suggestion for a product. Make a telescoping mount so that it can become a floor stand as well.

The CVI is out there to rip the customers off. Doesn’t make any sense.
TV holder doesn’t cost more than TV itself.
I am not going to buy anything from CVI.

Deaf Culture: SOME Deafies are more blunt and suspicious. So expect those kind of comments from SOME of them.

some of them? lol. Count me in that group then. NOBODY will pay for accessories that cost equal or more than the actual device.
If you do, you sir are an idiot. And a very poor one.

Dennis — I edited your comment by deleting your address. You can order the VPAD+ by creating an online account at viable.net and then making your purchase there or via customer service.

One has to remember that the VPAD or similar is offered at a discounted fee of $99 via federal or benefits means for using VRS, for it would have charged at around $800. If I were you, I would use a shelf or put it on a stack of Harry Potter books. :)

The VPAD mount is VESA-compliant. A tilt or flex wall mount can be purchased for about $20, and most make it easy to install/uninstall a small unit like the VPAD. Could probably be modified to fit an old desk lamp base, too….
