Last fall Astropad, the makers of Astropad Studio and Luna Display launched a handy tool for artists and creators using iPad called Darkboard. Now the ultra-lightweight ergonomic drawing surface has been enhanced with a foldable stand.
Update 6/27: After opening pre-orders last month, the new Darkboard with foldable stand is now available.
In case you missed it when it launched, here’s how Astropad describes Darkboard:
“We know that creatives use iPad for work because it’s powerful and versatile. But, the iPad alone often isn’t very comfortable to use the way most modern creatives work — on the go, on the couch, or in bed. That’s why we created Darkboard.”
Now Astropad has improved Darkboard with a foldable stand that offers two angles to make it more convenient to use in more places. That means you can use it with an easel setup, vertical setup, or in your lap.
Darkboard also comes with a neoprene sleeve that’s stain, water, oil, and heat resistant.
