Thank @ Kujia for providing the opportunity to experience APEX flat panel support.
We are quite unfamiliar with APEX. However, the product and design do not recognize national boundaries and age, so let's get to know their design culture and values through this product.
The packaging of APEX bracket is simple and intuitive. It is a square packaging box with simple and generous patterns and colors. It looks very refreshing.
After opening the package, you can see the main body of the bracket, a cloth bag for storage, and anti scratch pad paper on the main body.
In addition, the APEX stand also comes with a storage bag. Although it is only an auxiliary product of electronic products, we are meticulous in our feelings and standards.
APEX bracket is made of aluminum alloy skeleton and ABS plastic. Metal material is now a very prominent material element of digital electronic products. Mobile phones and laptops include mouse pads and brackets. The use of a large number of metal materials and metallic luster elements makes modern fashion technology reflect the delicacy and temperament of metal.
APEX bracket has elegant black, elegant blue and classic white in ABS plastic color, and has Tuhao gold, metallic silver and space grey in metal color. Worm gets Tuhao gold with elegant black, which looks luxurious and solemn.
The base width (maximum) of APEX bracket is 16.67mm, the vertical height (right angle of inclination) of bracket is 18.2mm, and the thickness of aluminum alloy reaches 3.15mm. Although the overall size is small, the metal thickness is enough, and the weight reaches 475g, which still ensures the adequate strength and bearing capacity of the support. It can be said that it is small and strong.
The structure of APEX bracket is very simple. It adopts the folding shape of three sections and two shafts. The folding angle of the shaft is very large, and it can be almost pulled horizontally.
The structure of APEX bracket is similar to a "C" shape, and the tilt angle is controlled by two rotating shafts, so that the screen of tablet and mobile phone can be adjusted at various angles.
Seen from the front, APEX bracket adopts a plane combination of multiple trapezoidal structures, which conforms to the physical and mechanical principles, making the bracket more dignified and stable.
The base, trunk and supporting rod of APEX bracket are hollow in design, which not only maintains the maximum strength, but also maintains the beauty of the bracket. At the same time, the central control part of the trunk also adopts the design of wire take-up slot, which is convenient for storing cables.
Under the setting sun, Tuhaojin's APEX bracket shows a charming metallic light.
The industrial design concept of APEX bracket is consistent with that of iPad and other products, and is perfectly matched in collocation. The product character of pursuing perfection and perfection is interpreted with minimalism. The product is made as a work of art, which naturally looks very pleasing to the eye.
Not only in terms of overall design and function, APEX supports are very sophisticated. In details, it shows the spirit of craftsman. As a key component of the support, the rotating shaft plays a vital role. The shaft tightening device of APEX bracket can make the bracket bear a weight of 2.5kg. It can easily lift MACBOOK of any weight or laptops of similar size and weight, and can firmly lock the angle without slipping.
The compression device adopts the design of press to unlock. Press to unlock can support 10 angle adjustments, with a service life of at least 3000 times.
The width of the bottom of the tray of the APEX bracket is 13.5mm, and the width of the opening is 14.5mm. Therefore, when placing the laptop, the thickness of the A-side (base) of the laptop should be less than 14.5. At present, with the prevalence of thin and light laptops, the APEX bracket meets the requirements for Ultrabooks and Apple laptops.
The plastic bracket below the APEX bracket adopts a free rotation angle design, with a width of 9.5mm. At present, most smart phones on the market can be easily placed in it.
Four rubber pads are set at the four corners of the base of the APEX bracket to help balance and fix the bracket. Ensure the stability of the support during use.
After introducing the basic situation of the APEX bracket, let's take a look at the actual application scenario. Since there are not many tablet products on hand, but also for the purpose of highlighting the live display, please ignore the low of the device and the luan of the background
With this bracket, you can build a mobile phone pad、 Three computer screens are displayed at the same time. Such applications are very useful for cultural and creative media, website operation, graphic design and mobile application developers. You can watch the design effect in real time while carrying out design research and development work. Of course, when the boss doesn't pay attention, it's also very comfortable to watch the abnormal quasi in the NBA on his mobile phone and open the tablet to play an episode of The Legend of Mi Yue.
The main design concept of APEX stent is to improve the elevation angle of vision, so that users can reduce mouse hand, carpal crown syndrome, lumbar muscle strain, and injury of lumbar spine and cervical vertebra. But in fact, such a product can make it easy for us to store digital products and make our small desk more orderly.
Insects use the APEX stand to place the iPad mini and vivo X6. The working strength of the stand is obviously not saturated, which seems to be a bit like a cart pulling a pony.
From the side view, it is more obvious that you must use a big guy to make use of this product. However, Bug has no iPad air, MACBOOK and other products. So how to show it?
We know that the size of the iPad air 2 is 240 × 169.5 × 6.1 mm. The size of the 13 inch macbook air is 325 mm * 227 mm. The insect just has an iQunx mouse pad on his hand, which is 230mm * 300mm in size. It can be said that it is roughly the same as the 13 inch macbook air. So, the worm made it simple and showed it to everyone.
These are the basic product displays. Due to the simple appearance and process of APEX bracket. Insects don't need to talk much. Through experience, I think the functions of APEX bracket are as follows:
1. I gave full marks for the combination of Apple and other high quality digital products. As a saying goes, a good horse should be equipped with a good saddle, and a good digital product should also be equipped with a powerful accessory. It not only protects the product effectively, but also allows users to use the product more physically and mentally. From this point of view, it is also necessary to pack.
2. Alleviate the health problems caused by excessive use of digital products. This is relatively easy to understand. By changing the use angle of digital products, it can effectively alleviate the fatigue of vision, lumbar spine, cervical vertebra and wrist, and reduce the damage to the body caused by bad use habits.
3. Intensive use and orderly storage of space. This one, insects are the most important. Nowadays, office buildings have a lot of land and only a few cubicles and desks are available. If we do not improve the efficiency of space utilization, we will not only be in a hurry, but also affect our mood. In particular, today everyone has more than three screen products. If it cannot be effectively stored, various tragedies of squeezing, falling and scraping will follow. This product can solve this problem very well.
Finally, of course, there are several suggestions.
First, the overall feeling is that the local workmanship is still a little rough. Especially for the rotating shaft, after the switch angle is fixed by pressing to unlock, the rotating shaft will still shake slightly.
Second, the rotary shaft button is marked with a cruciform screw. In fact, since it is prompted to press, it can be set as a concave fingerprint design, which is more in line with the humanized mark.
Third, the rotating shaft lacks texture. It is recommended to add damping coefficient when rotating to highlight the texture of the product.
Fourth, the button of the rotating shaft is set on the vertical surface of the rotating shaft. When operating, you have to hold it with both hands. At the same time, you must be close to the body fixed bracket to operate. It is very awkward. In fact, it can be set at the side of the rotating shaft, so that only one hand can press the button, and one hand can operate the angle, which will be easier.
Fifthly, if it is sold in China, it is suggested to further strengthen the localization of packaging appearance, product introduction and marketing.
In short, this product is very novel and unique in industrial design, and is a very good innovative product. The crowdfunding price of 199 yuan is worth it. For the pursuit of quality of life, or Virgo, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, this must buy buy!
