    Default Crane Stand - Super bouncy

    Hi guys,

    Just received my new Crane laptop stand in the mail, and I have to say, I am quite disappointed with it lack of shock resistance. Bottom line is, it's bouncy as hell, and I'm literately getting dizzy just typing this post of it (I'm using a 13" MacBook Pro).

    Like, very light tapping on the keys makes this thing bounce. I was just expecting something a lot more solid than it looks.

    But on the plus, it looks and feels very solid in terms of its user durability.

    Thats a nice design... are the ends slightly tapered so you can secure it after taking it apart and putting it back together a few times... Im impressed with the simplicity.

    I also have a crane stand.. and the same issues were there when I used the laptop... now I just have a KP3 on it and the bouncing doesnt bother me so much. The thing I really hate about the crane stand.... is their classic SCARE tactics they desperately use to market their product. Their facebook page just has endless links of deformed wrists from carpal tunnel victoms and how the workplace is turning the human race into TREX stylized arms and so forth. But seriously I do like how it folds up nice... and the spacing is just perfect for the KP3 or a Kaossilator Pro.. volume knobs fit right between the grooves.. And it is REALLY lightweight... unlike my arnold pumping iron Oddessy dj laptop stand

    It's actually screwed together so it's completely rigid. It's just three pieces of wood, four screws and some spray paint

    Think i'll work off your model of construction but make it into an assembly for easy packing

    Ah I guess to make it mobile you could drill a larger outer hole with enough room to fit a wingnut so it doesnt hit anything outside of the hole

    I like the stanton uberstands myself, not nearly as bouncy and easy to carry. But with any truly portable stand there's likely to be some bounce, depending how aggressive you are on whatever's on top of it.

    I also have a griffin stand - super cheap and no bounce, but it's half the height of the stantons.

    I own one and had any problems with ist.It´s kind of elastic but not disturbing.
    It´s the real foldable porn fits underneath a 1210 and fits inside my controller bag.
    I love it.And all the others are jealous about this thing.
