Crane Stand® : Sub-Tray Hack.
For anyone with a heavy Soundcard that makes the sub-tray slip down (like me), here’s an inexpensive solution to keep the tray locked in tight ($2 NZD)
About 4-6 wraps should do it.
Gaffa. Fixes everthing. Nuff said.
Electrical tape, it looks like.
THANKS 
, tedious problem, doesnt bug me to much anymore but im always worried it would slip around and cause sound card to fall at a gig
I thought crane was the devil because they requested a removal of the guys how-to thread on how to make your own stand…
Nice one!
I’ll give that a shot since the sub try keeps on sliding down.
I only use my sub try to hold my audio 10 when it’s set up in my house,
when I’m playing out I don’t bother using the sub try.
To be honest the audio 10 is a little bit too big for the tray,
I know it’s designed for the iPad or smaller soundcards
Its been thoroughly party tested and really does work a charm guys. Try and wrap it enough about half as thick as the rubber bits on the tray and that puppy aint going anywhere 
Jester what Acer you running? (sorry im OT)
Was just about to comment on the “nice non MacBook”
@ all the Crane users ( I luckily belong to this category since this morning 
) at home do you leave your laptop always on the stand or remove it ?
I leave mine sitting on the stand all the time,
I just hope that I don’t come home one day and
my laptop is lying on the floor.
But to be honest the stand seems to be rock solid so it should be fine

@ Dave the crane only gets set up for mixing so i dont leave tha lappy on it. if i did tho i would have no concerns leaving it on there.
I’ll have to get me a Crane stand when my turntables arrive… No more space on the desk. Too bad they’re not sold around here, and quite pricey to import :c
mine is supporting a pizza box with a half pizza in it right now.
have my laptop on the crane for two weeks now…hasn’t drooped, sagged or budged a mm.
