DJ Laptop stand
Cheap DJ laptop stand
There are a few contenders in the world of laptop stands and they all vary around $70-200 with the exception of a few that aren’t necessary for the average stand guy. Basically the main components that you would be looking for or are looking for is functionality with stability. Nothing is worse than being in the middle of a gig and not being able to trust that if you touch your keyboard, your laptop might fall. It’s an uneasy feeling.
The main contenders are between the Stanton uberstand and the crane stand. The Stanton uberstand is a stand that costs $79.99 new and is the cheapest of the dj laptop stands unless you do it yourself. The advantages of the uberstand is that is extremely lightweight and easy to pack. So if you like to finish your job and get the heck out of the arena, uberstand might be something that you’re looking for.
The downsides to the uberstand is number 1, it’s a little bit shaky. They do give you a twist tie, however it’s a pretty cheap remedy that you could have come up with yourself. It is factory made and as a result some of them have factory defaults. While this is rare for the all aluminum materials, it can be possible. However, for the price versus utility there is no match to it.
The Crane stand comes in two colours black and white, the black one is easily scratched so if you are prone to getting it scratched I suggest you get the silver one. This DJ laptop stand is the most stable stand out there right now and that takes under 5 minutes to set up. This one is also great for mobile dj’s and home stayers alike.
Hand made by a small company and custom built to suit the needs of a mobile dj while being fully customizable in a few positions based on the angles that you get into, also a nice addition to your dj furniture collection. The benefit of it being customizable is that if you are mobile, and have no idea what the set up will look like before you get to the job site, this will allow you to get as comfortable as you can before you get there.
The crane stand does have a small downside to it. It’s a small company so in terms of their progression and costs being lowered any more, it’s pretty much impossible. They are a small company that hand makes every single one . the 3 point support also affects the stability. While its stable if you aren’t going to knock it over and you are aware that nobody else will either, from the sides. It increases the stability head on.
If you are just looking for a dj laptop stand, go with the uberstand as it’s cheaper and does the job. If you want something a little more customizable and durable go with the crane stand.
This dj laptop stand is now going on sale for the most part and includes a section for you to add your harddrive or sounds cards. This one retails at about $180, but goes on sale for $150. If you have the money and dj consistently this would be the one I would suggest.
