while i was at it i thought i might as well get a laptop stand. This one seems cheap. I just want to plonk my laptop on it so when shit gets spillt it is raised up.
Anyone got one? Or recommend one about same price. I searched threads and read reviews on home page but they were out my price range really.
Cheers my dears
(@mods - sorry i posted this in the other thread before but it got blanked - general seems to get more reads innit - hope thats cool)
got the millenium as well, the “bigger” version with a place for my firebox..
takes quite a while to build this thing up, but with a little practice it should work more quickly..
decks.co.uk do that stand but it’s labeled as an american audio one, think it’s £19, I’ve got one and I was suprised how stable they are even with a vci on
I have the VCI Back Pack and the included soft-case.
Its great. Ive been using a huge Numark gig bag but its to wide to get into my car (when i push the seat forward) so i downsized to the back pack and ive got no regrets .
For my VCI gigs its perfect.
Ive got 3 of those laptop stands (as Lecko points out they are American Audio) and trust me they are a lot better than the similar Magma 1.0 (ive got a Magma) mainly cus they are half the price but also they are lighter and stiffer.
Also the Magma 2.0 which folds is the worst purchase i ever bought (sent back) . terrible constructiond and NOT SAFE to trust with your laptop.
Ive bought 3 American audio stands so i can leave one at home and one at 2 different venues so i dont have to carry one.
it will fit i am sure. disassembled its quite small. its just that the thing is a lot of work to take apart and put together .. and its also fairly heavy. but then again its very good at its main task .. keeping that laptop stable.
I got the Bag from Thomann in Germany mate. I got good service from them.
It comes with the softcase for the VCI which doubles up as a neat thing to cushion the VCI when you use it.
The laptop stand will fit in the vestax pack if you disassemble it no problem.
I just cant be arsed assembling it at every gig so i leave one in the managers office at 2 different venues.
If your not gigging every other nite its no hassle to put it together and take it apart again though mate.
Its way less heavy than the Magma version.
We had 2 more stand delivered today for the club cus the manager didnt want people putting there laptops on top of the CDJs.
So, before i pull the trigger on this, if i get the bag from thomann in germany I can get the Millenium stand (which is the same as the American Audio??) at the same time?
One more guy satisfied with the millenium/american audio stand here. I have the smaller one and no complaints except, as everyone else has said, I wouldn’t take it apart all the time.
You may not be able to tell by the pictures but you can adjust the height and the width a little bit(the middle bars are in three parts : one long, and two screw-on extensions about 1 inch long each).
In fact, I’ll go ahead and shrink it so the two front rubberized caps don’t bump into my laptop’s headphone jacks
Extra tip re: these rubber caps : they’re at a straight angle, so laptops with a curved front bezel will tend to slide down - this shouldn’t be a problem with any macbook.
