A friend of mine who is a steel fabricator is looking to put an RMX-1000 stand into production as there seems to be very little (if any) in the way of a dedicated stand for it.
Before he puts it into production he is looking for some suggestions on what the stand should incorporate and also if there will be a market for it. If anyone was at BPM 2012 and noticed the stand on the Pioneer setup it will closely represent that although a standard version without the laser cut ‘Pioneer’ wording unless it’s requested at time of manufacture. There will be an option to have a custom logo or wording into back plate also.
Hiya - I’ve got one and still yet to get a stand (it sits on a box of 25 cds in my home studio which works fine but would love something taht can neatly and sturdily fit underneath a DJM at work as space is a premium but also be portable)
From what I’ve read on the Pioneer forum they are set to release their own stand in about 4 weeks or so, but yeh I’ve been looking at all sorts of laptop stands online and not settled on any yet.
Good luck with it if you do go into production and will def check it out as an option
Pioneer are indeed releasing a stand very similar to the one that was on display at BPM.
In terms of what it needs, I’d say it must be minimal in design and not take up too much space, possibly with a plate that fits under the back of the mixer. The height and angle should be adjustable. Above all it must be VERY stable, so that you can hit the release FX switch quick and hard without it wobbling or moving.
If it was a combo laptop stand with an RMX 1000 shelf underneathe that’d be sweet. But either way this is needed. Looking for angle and height adjustability and it has to be stable.
I use my Uberstand to hold my RMX, but if you could make something that could comfortably sit under the Uberstand but still have room to let my Audio 8 sit on my Uberstand you would definitely be onto a winner. Also sturdiness is the key point here really
I use this stand which would work for the RMX1000. I have araldited velcro on to the shelf below. If you can bring yourself to attach velcro to the bottom of the RMX1000 then it won’t budge. http://www.djworx.com/skratchworx/reviews/rr_smartstand.php
I did mention sturdiness to him as a main priority when we first talked about this. If the feet of the stand were thin enough to sit under the mixer without setting the mixer into a unstable incline that would help to support it. I think at first it will be a static stand but an adjustable version could also be made but not sure of the extra cost. As a ball park figure I recon he will be selling the stand for around £35-£40 with the option for laser logo etc but don’t quote me on this. It will definitely be cheaper than the Pioneer one.
Oh it’s the djstandz one! I nearly bought the fixed version on eBay but then it disappeared and I can’t find it anywhere, do you have a link? Maybe a technical consultant’s discount code?
