This is my workstation setup for our February stay in Mesa, AZ. The mStand is critical to getting the screen and camera at a good height. The 12.9” iPad Pro does great double duty as a second display using Sidecar.

Today’s point of view for the next several hours. Impressive volume of semi-trucks on I-40.
