I think this is pretty cool! A little bit on the pricey side though, in my opinion. I think for that price they could've added the power brick, as well.
@@digitaldjtips Not exactly, bc it can serve as a back up if someone forgets their power cord. It'll be a bit of a safe alternative. Or they could just drop the price of it in general.
Love my Crane stands because of the quick release lock and the stability. I just wish they were height adjustable. I use a separate 7 port (I wish I got the 10 lol) powered USB. Most of the time 4 ports aren't enough. GAS! Used Crane with a USB hub from Amazon for $80.
There is actually a very quick and easy way to know which way is "up" on a USB A plug. There is a small "USB icon" on top of all USB A plugs. This means "up". The other side should be blank to indicate down. Now if the port on your device is sideways.......good luck!
@Phil Morse Look for the two tiny square holes on the top of the USB-A connector. If the holes which are uncovered are facing up - you're good. Most USB-A`s have a set of holes covered by plastic, and a set on the other side which are "open" - open facing up and you're solid.
I was looking at getting this but also thinking of the new MacBook and waiting to see if they bring back MagSafe charging to the MacBooks. think it’s an awesome laptop stand, great idea, surprised others haven’t made their own versions.
How does it compare to gravity stands please? I love the quality and stiffness of Gravity products. Also at half the price compared to the reloop stand, this new stand really would have to be superior imo. Thanks
We haven't reviewed the Gravity laptop stand, we'll add it to our list.I would say the Reloop stand is not as robust, though - but it is robust enough for what it is made to do.
If you manage to put a usb in first time you are a magician.... Most newer Windows lpatop have USB-C powering. At least all the ones I have had int he last 3-4 years. Glad to see you upgraded tot he Streamdeck Phil... Elgato gets to most youtube folks before long. Even I have the big keylight from Elgato.. worth every penny. The question for me on the stand is as ever, why did it take so long to work out something that seems so obvious. Simplicity itself. ;) take care.
Perfect, I was trying to look for a good stand, as I will try and unlock serato pro with my Prime 4 and start using my laptop just for the extras. But I’m unsure why it’s not working as nothing happens when I connect(nothing happens when I press buttons), maybe it’s something to do with the Hard drive still being in? Any great video
I used to keep a hub mounted under the arm of my old Odyssey stand with double sided tape and said for the longest time, "They need to make a stand with a hub built in."
Yo. Will this work as a decent stand/hub for N.I Maschine? I need to be able to raise my Maschine above the height of my keyboard, (S61mk2) so this could be the ideal solution... Has anyone used this stand for something like a Maschine at all? Cheers
@@digitaldjtips strange he didn't mention it, most DJs i know use their old models strictly as a DJ computer, since it doesn't require a lot of tej system and has built in inputs
@@jojorilu ... and this would be the reason why they should have included the power cord to the stand for us Djs who have the non USB C laptops just makes sense but having sense ain’t that common lol!
The Stand Hub uses a 60 watt USB C charger which supplies power to the USB Hub, and the MacBook, correct? However, my 16 inch MacBook requires a 100 watt USB C charger. 🤷🏻♂️
Purchased this stand last month. The hub itself is good but why the heck are reloop only providing 480 Mbps cables if the hub is capable of up to 5 Gbps. Even the provided USB C TO C CABLE IS ONLY 480 Mbps standard. Had to purchase extra cables to get the best out of this.

Not everyone will need it though, which would be a bit wasteful maybe?

The rule of USB A‘s always fits, haha so true!
good review, Phil, as always!
It's called the "superposition"
@@bennymoonen9937 haha :p
Effective and looks good at a reasonable price.
Thanks for watching!
Looks good. Could you plug in USB cameras to use with OSB?
I'm going to guess: Yes.
So your MacBook’s charger is powering the stand-hub or does the stand-hub come with its own power supply ?
The MacBook's charger is powering it. You can also buy a separate power supply for it if you wish.
@@digitaldjtips Thank You !
I keep my music on an external hard drive. Would it work while plugged into the stand?
Modern Lenovo ThinkPads with Windows also have USB-C.
Ordered one. Thanks for the review.
Awesome :)
What table is that. Like that setup
Great review. Would an external SSD (hard drive) also be detected?
Yes, it acts like a USB hub, so you can plug in anything you want.

I built a stand in a way that I can slide my laptop underneath the controller. Powered hub attached. But this is cool too.
Awesome :)
Quick question Phil I have read in Pioneer q&a controllers should not be plugged into a hub as it may cause latency issues is this true 👍
I was looking at getting this but also thinking of the new MacBook and waiting to see if they bring back MagSafe charging to the MacBooks. think it’s an awesome laptop stand, great idea, surprised others haven’t made their own versions.
I hope they do! Will have to wait and see
Bit of a dim question . Could I plug multiple flash drives into it . So true about the usb plug in 3x every time😆
Nothing stopping you physically doing it
The rule of USB A sockets is absolute. LMAO
That's Brilliant!
Thanks Phil. I will hopefully get one when it is available in SA.
Ye, I wish it is available soon in SA
No problem! Thanks for watching
SA South Africa? if so these guys seem to be the official suppliers www.tradelius.co.za/
The new mac power brick is 140w. Would that be too much to plug into this?
Not sure. I would definitely try it, but it's up to you!
Are you saying you are powering the DDJ-1000SRT from the hub? I don't think my DDJ-1000 can be powered from the USB only the separate power supply.
No, you cannot power your controller from the hub. Not unless it is one built to do that, of course.
Can I use this with an older MacBook Pro 2012?
Yes, although you'd probably have to have separate power for this and for the MacBook Pro.
Great stand. What laptop are you using?
Macbook Pro & a XMG

That's odd, the harddrive shouldn't be causing any issue
@@digitaldjtips I have found that only update 1.3.3 on the Prime 4 works with serato DJ pro, somehow the rest doesnt
Every subsequent one should as well but that is when they introduced Serato connectivity
I like this product. Excellent video
Thanks!
This is actually really clever.
I used to keep a hub mounted under the arm of my old Odyssey stand with double sided tape and said for the longest time, "They need to make a stand with a hub built in."
An interesting idea for sure
@@miyagithedj I do exactly the same - I used velcro. ;-)
Yo.

I need to be able to raise my Maschine above the height of my keyboard, (S61mk2) so this could be the ideal solution...
Has anyone used this stand for something like a Maschine at all?
Cheers
Not sure, sorry - we do not have one here.
What about us who have the old Mac powering leads?
Then it isn't going to work for that
@@digitaldjtips strange he didn't mention it, most DJs i know use their old models strictly as a DJ computer, since it doesn't require a lot of tej system and has built in inputs

Does it have a connection to charge your MacBook?
Yes, I explain how it works in the video.

We didn't notice any issues with the supplied cables, practically speaking.
Could u link me
To the cables u bought ?

Sorry to hear that, I hope you figure it out.
Add a couple of cooling fans for the laptop and I'd be set.
Nice one :)
USB-C has been the standard on most major laptop manufacturers for about three years now. My DJ laptop is a 6th Gen Lenovo X1 Carbon, and that has USB-C
Don’t forget the laptop cooling fan.
This should be in all clubs using CDJs period since pioneer doesn’t have a hub built in their mixer! 🤦🏾♂️
Would be useful!
@@digitaldjtips can you daisy chain the stands?
I think it’s a cool idea and cool stand but i feel they should of included the power cord to come with the stand & not have to buy it separately the stand is already pricy enough everyone does not have a newer USB C mac that can just plug in it’s a lot of us that still dj with old reliable Mac pros that are non USB C so them including the power cord would of been nice then them giving you the option not to use the included power cord if you have a USB C computer would of made more sense but hey 🤷🏾♂️
Thanks for weighing in!
The rule of usb sockets #TRUTH #ImNotAlone
😀
170$??
Interesting but expensive....I can see other companies undercutting reloop if this is almost £120.
Yeah the price is the sticking point for many
I want to be a DJ !!😢 But i dont have deck !😌💔
You don't need one! If you have a computer or phone you can get started on that :)
Basically… you should be using a mac to dj lol.
