ZSA Technology Labs announced a professionally looking tenting solution: The Platform .
A tenting system like no other: All-metal, slides, locks, and folds in seconds.
It seems this device was specifically designed for the Moonlander keyboard but I wanted to feature it anyway to give you some inspiration.
The project, which has been in the making for over a year, was announced in a newsletter by Erez Zukerman . It's not a group buy or pre-order, 800 pieces of this clever contraption are in stock right now sold out in 24 hours.
Other than the adjustable tenting angle (up to 60 degrees), the rigid all-metal construction adds heft to the board, making it more stable "even at extreme tenting angles".
Check out the product page for more pictures, animations and a video: https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/platform/
Those who are signed up for the monthly ZSA magazine received a discount code which I'm not going to disclose respecting Erez 's intentions.
Sign up for their newsletter to get such discounts next time.
EDIT:
All the 800 items sold out in 24 hours.
We'll make more, I'm not exactly sure when though. I can't wait to hear what people think once they have it – Erez.
