ambient Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Can anyone recommend a decent one ? I have some gigs coming up with an experimental duo project. I use my MacBook for processing. Must be light and strong. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 But I was going to purchase this one! http://meinlpercussion.com/products/Product/show/1593/1671/1584/ If it's good enough for a drummer's kit bag.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even got a little bit for the interface to sit on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly less flimsy than other Stagg ones I've had in the past where the plastic knobs break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 A good quality music stand like one below can double up as a laptop stand. The top part will lie back flat or at an angle with the lip stopping the lap top from sliding off. We use one for our PA mixer http://www.terralec.co.uk/other_stands/cobra_adjustable_music_stand/33216_p.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwnv27BRCmuZqMg_Ddmt0BEiQAgeY1l2-KMgRUhUvo4pLyoleMr0mcdwCtto6gNJvTUxXpi7AaAs9O8P8HAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to say 'beware' just in case. If it's any help, the one I have linked to uses a similar mechanism to lock the angle that is used by heavy video camera tripod stands.

I sit down for these gigs.I covered it in Velcro to hold the pedals on, it was great for that, it meant you could position it perfectly. I'm not sure that is fancy trusting my MacBook on one though tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 One of these came up cheap on eBay so I bought it for Silvie: https://www.gak.co.uk/en/stanton-uberstand-laptop-stand-silver/94856?gclid=Cj0KEQjwwYK8BRC0ta6LhOPC0v0BEiQApv6jYRLMQ-ywqrzUoW4bKZB-7KHSgz96T5vqwFyPMPv1-Q4aAhGk8P8HAQ Obviously it's not free-standing like those mentioned above, but it works well on either a tabletop or a rack-case.
