Default iPad Accessories--Stand Adapter and Footswitch

Looking at some Black Friday sales and want to add a mic stand adapter for my iPad Pro with the 12.9" screen. I'd like to keep the case on it if possible. Also looking for recommendations for a simple Bluetooth foot switch that would scroll lyric sheets, turn pages, and call up songs--don't really need other fancy features. BTW, I use the OnSong app. Thanks for any input. Here are some of the products that are on sale:

I like the Airturn pedals.

As for iPad holders, I like these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use a Pageflip Dragonfly pedal. It gives you 4 buttons with the same footprint as their 2 button model. That gives you 2 for next/previous song and 2 for scroll forward/back within the song.

Thanks, but doesn’t appear to fit my 12.9” Pro.

I've tried multiple stands for my 12.9" iPad. An important feature for me is quick change back and forth between portrait and landscape. Landscape lets me look at 2 page scores side-by-side (although smaller).

I've arrived at this:

https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Music-St.../dp/B000EPVXWU

It's light weight (especially the aluminum version), folds to a compact shape and has a case.

Advantages:
1. It works with any iPad case.
2. The wide black background makes it easier to focus on the white score.
3. If someone hands me a paper score I can put it next to my iPad.
4. Easily height adjustable.

I have one of these Peak stands, they are great music stands. I don't use an iPad, but I play with some who do, and use these stands. Very versatile and sturdy.
