I have a Nord electro 5 HP and would like to use a tablet for notes (for example, ipadpro) without an additional music stand. Is there any construction to fix the tablet with a bracket safely on the North electro 5. maybe in the mounting holes for the clavia music stand, if possible without using the clavia music stand itself (because I don’t want to disappear for the audience behind the huge clavia music stand).
Any helping tips and advices are welcome

I'm using the ipad folding case, which has magnets in the cover. When you fold the cover back and attach ipad on top of nord metal case, the magnet holds ipad quite well.

Well, you're talking of NE5 HP and notation sheets and iPadpro so I guess that you need to have the tablet in an upright positon as if it was real paper sheets. Using the nord note holder would be too risky for me on stage as the iPad could easily fall down if someone stumbles into your rig. I once had tried one of the socalled swan-neck (Schwanenhals) holders fixed at the keyboard stand. Not good if you are in a rock band because it participates in all the movements of the stand when playing hard, it wiggles a lot. I have also experimented with the tablet put in front of the keyboard, i. e. between me and the keys. Only usable when you play standing and have a small pad in landscape orientation. I now use a flat silicon pad on the right top side of my NE5D 61 where I just can stick my iPad. But only good when you can read it in this flat position. I only have chord sheets and some licks on it. My dream is having the keyboard built with some empty space in the middle of the top panel in front of you. During the past 30 years I always had the most important things - my sheets - way off the focus of my eyes. Keyboard makers, it's just about time to consider a tablet as the user's standard. Who will be the first manufacturer with a perfect place for it? Rudiratlos, maybe a padholder from k&m mounted at a mic stand in front of your keyboard would be best of two worlds. Regards and good luck
