ZOMO Laptops stands and products

[sarasin]

Hi all,

I have been trying to get a laptop stand locally and its proving to be a BITCH!

I mailed a company who said they now stock ZOMO laptop stands.

Anyone used these before? Are they good?

The ones they have are the LS1 and and the LS-S1.

Thanks!

That stand is also made by MAGMA. I have it and it is excellent.

I have the American Audio stand that is similar but its not as good as the above as the lips at the front that stop the laptop from sliding forward arent as high.

I highly recommend it mate. Look out for the exact same stand by Magma its the 1.0 Stand. I got the folding 2.0 version but it was not sturdy enough, in fact it was as wobble as hell so i sent it back.

Sick, the price is not bad considering the rest of the equipment prices they have here in SA.

Still got my heart set on the Uberstand tho....will see if my boss is coming this way this month.

He always brings me shit from the UK....like my Audio 4.....SO much cheaper.
And he gets a kick outta bringing shit customs.....without them noticing!

His record is 3 laptops!

HEHEHEHEH

LOL ... didnt realise SA was so expensive.

The uberstand is wicked but i like the slope of the Magma. It angles the lappy towards you . Also the Uber isnt adjustable in height. When i see it in pics i always think it looks too high...

yeah...thing is...they whack on a huge amount.

For instance. I bought my audio 4 for R2500 ( 220 Quid ) and had to brought to me by my boss from the UK( Our main office) and here it costs R4500.
So they whack one R2000.

The Uberstand costs like...70 Quid (R800) but they will charge R1300 for it here.

That's why I trawl the 2nd had sites (Gumtree) and rather get my travelling mates or co-workers to bring stuff for me.

You can pretty much get anything but they charge heavily.
They will import etc ...but you pay top dollar.

Rather just import it myself or get it brought over.

Uberstand is great - but the shelf doesn't hold many AI's. My U46DJ JUST about fits on it. The Zomo stands look bloody expensive - check out maplin or ebay for Millenium stands. Much cheaper.

HEHEHE

They not available here mate.

This is basically the only adjustable stand around.

They want R950 for it. (83 quid)

Kinda pricey.....

I will need to think about this. The Uber....or this Magma....ZOMO stand.

Heres the much cheaper version by American Audio.

Its fine for the money. I have 2 in my studio.
Its very sturdy. The only down side is the shallow lips. They keep the lappy on ok but i it gets knocked it could pop off (in theory).

At £19 (that's right - £19!!!) you can't go wrong with this badboy.

Nice wide shelf for your AI, and an open back so there's plenty of room for cables. This is the way to go for DVS systems.

I'm sure we could work something out postage wise - can't be that expensive to get it to the U.S.

I am in South Africa bud!

They will whack it on!!!!

I could get it delivered to my UK office and get the boss to bring it.

Will need to check how heavy it is.

I might got for the Uber and one of those....cuz its a steal.
