    DJ MobileTips had an idea to build my own dj laptop stand and thanks to mattkent08 was able to make it possible for a fraction of the cost of buying something similar for a whole lot more. Thanks Matt!
    please note: I do not live on the mainland and shipping via UPS which most retailers use put buying a premade laptop stand out of my reach. This video shows an alternative to paying outrageous shipping costs!
    the song playing in the background is from ida corr vs. freddie le grand " let me think about it "

    This is awesome!!!!! I been shopping for a stand for my Maschine and they are so bloody expensive... this is EXACTLY what I need. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Dont listen to these other muppets they're obviously not musicians (no doubt that will raise a few heckles too!) .... I love haters, they keep reminding me not to spend too much time trolling on the internet. Get a life peoples! If you don't like it, go somewhere else!!!

    I found a multi position stand for $20. Even though these parts cost double + I love DIY creativity! Nothing like designing your on stuff! I think it's dope! Gave me some ideas!

    This is a cool stand for djing but a few suggestions if I may:
    1)on the bottom right before the 90 deg. Angle on both sides add some kind of screw or something to keep the stand from falling away from you.
    2)add a bar at the bottom to make it look even.
    Good job but I got a 'on stage stands' basic laptop stand for like $30 or something at Sam ash

    Great video. You could use rubber feet to place on the bottom of the stand to add some grip. And also use some felt pads to place on the top of the stand to add some grip for your laptop!

    very well done, i don't have a dj equipment, but when it comes to a tight budget...im all about saving money on things I can get or do similar to the more expensive stuff, im sure many of us fall into this route. Great Job on taking what Kent has done & expanding on it with a touch of creativeness; we live in a diverse world, so knowledge being spread from person to person & sharing it online is definitely 1 way of complementing that. I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO to build one, ty!

  • @jasco927
    @jasco927 4 года назад

    Nice job, very handy. I would suggest pitching the top L-brackets about 10 degrees, before you start for more laptop stability.

  • @Iloveyoutube11
    @Iloveyoutube11 12 лет назад

    I think $100 for a stand is crazy but I bought one. Makes for fast and easy set up and tear down. I think with the beats headphones you have on the table, you can afford a stand. This might be a good idea for a beginner setting up in his or hers bedroom.

  • @DJStudioTour
    @DJStudioTour  12 лет назад

    Thank You and yes the supports can be purchased in longer lengths or you can use slip on connectors.

  • @morgando2
    @morgando2 12 лет назад

    Also the design needs to be portable. I think it wobbles front to back also. The Crane Stand is worth the money. Easy quick set up.

  • @DJJOEYC67

  • @MagickFox
    @MagickFox 12 лет назад

    that is an epic idea - well done :) I was going to go out and buy myself a laptop stand but I think just for giggles I will make my own... I did have 1 idea though - Instead of back supports what about a single sheet of metal with bolt holes? That would make it incredibly strong - you could even put one underneat to give it some more purchase on the desk... hmmm interesting :) Props for the awesome vid :)

  • @johnmcnally322
    @johnmcnally322 11 лет назад

    THANK YOU for posting this video it was very informative and helpful, the only suggestion i have for your fantastic design is some sort of support and counter weight for the bottom to help keep it from getting to top heavy and being prone to tip over. But overall you have come up with a very simple solid and awesome design, good work!

  • @ZINDJGABECORDERO
    @ZINDJGABECORDERO 13 лет назад

    pretty neat and easy, very nice idea. I'll probably want mine to be angled a little bit. and extended platform will also hold a mouse. I think it can also hold 2 cdj players I like it

    DJ This was a GREAT idea. I have been looking for a solution for my laptop to raise up and I almost bought a Tether Stand for $250 yet I knew there was another solution. I am making some changes and I will post my results when complete. Also, the size of the nuts and bolts was not stated. Did you use 1/4"? Anyway it was Awesome to see a female represent. Peace.

    For $20 more i bought a laptop stand at guitar center.. It also has a center piece for the interface or external harddrives.. The headphone holder i used my double brace lock keyboard stand for my turntables & the lever to adjust the height i use for the headphones.. This is definately not a bad idea but if only it cost alot less than buying a legit one.. No offense intended.. Im a nightclub/mobile dj..

    nicely done BUT im pretty sure that your hard drive will die the next 1-2 months because of the vibrations :( dj's stands are made with materials that prevent the vibrations to reach the laptop

    @DJSoulfulDee Thank you for watching your comment is so very much appreciated. Coming from you this has made my whole outlook on life as a Mobile DJ changed forever. My ability to be creative is forever stymied, as you point out so fluently. Yes it is ultimately better always to never be creative, think outside of the box and be completely reliant on the system figuring out for me what I should buy and exactly how and how much I should spend...seriously go F YS and have a blessed day
