Satechi has announced a redesigned version of the iPad Pro stand with USB-C hub functionality it launched nearly five years ago that’s smaller and easier to travel with. The new OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub is available now through Satechi’s online store and Amazon for $79.99 in space black. While the original was specifically designed for iPad Pro models, Satechi says the new stand hub will work with all iPads released after 2021, as well as other USB-C mobile devices and laptops.

A stand that folds flat for travel can be used to prop up and turn tablets and smartphones into makeshift monitors, while the hub connects to those devices using a short built-in USB-C cable that can be stored underneath it.

The expanded connectivity includes a 4K/60Hz HDMI port for using a device with a larger screen, SD and microSD card readers, USB-C and USB-A ports supporting up to 10Gbps file transfers, and 100W power delivery passthrough so paired devices can still charge. There’s even a 3.5mm audio jack that can be used to connect wired headphones or a wired microphone.
