This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

In my searching, I also found this as a possible solution. Anyone have experience with this? Looks pretty sturdy.

Hey! @madeofoak Just saw this picture of your rig. Are you using the pedalboard case to travel with your gear inside as well? This looks like a great solution to my post above. Is it something you got custom made, or is it just a generic case?

#31

at that point (2016) yes, all my gear travelled inside the case. it’s a nice all in one solution though a bit messy with TSA.

if you’re sitting down you could probably use the case as designed and mount all your gear with velcro (or whatever) to the interior pedalboard and just pop the top off and plug in. and the case wasn’t custom, it was from road cases usa. still kicking after all these years though very very beat up.

Awesome! Yeah I can imagine flying with that could have been a hassle at some points.

And yup, the velcro inside was my exact thought after seeing your picture. Not a bad idea at all. This could work really well. Looks like that company also has a super nifty pop-up version of the case where the “pedal” section pops out at an angle. Sick!

Thanks!

Learned about these from @marcus_fischer. Looks like they’re currently sold out:

Bringing this thread to the top. I’ve been battling some back issues this past week and I need to address hunching over my synths as much as I do. I’m hoping to find some sort of two tier stand that can have adjustable angles that sets on a desk. I’ve been staring at ‘DJ stands’ ‘laptop stands’ and even amp and acoustic guitar stands (not two tier obviously), and can’t seem to find much that suits my needs. Ideally this would also be the kind of thing easily packable for live shows.



These two options seem to be the best, but reviews suggest they’re wobbly or hard to put together for regular live show use. They also don’t look like they have an adjustable angle.

My plan is to put a small 6U50hp (roughly 11"x11") case on one level and an Octatrack on the other. Any tips?

That’s great, thanks. I bought a Roland laptop stand and it’s fine but it’s not quite wide enough for a laptop and launchpad mini once I start trying to make room for USB plugs and power supply connectors. The Gator stand looks like it would give a little more room to spread out.

This caught my eye recently. I don’t know anything about it, but the portability was pretty intriguing at first glance:

I use projector tripods stands and arrange them around me in different heights - no tables. They are not very light, so if traveling light is your goal look elsewhere. For me they are still light compared to the amps and record crates I used to haul back to performances in that day.

The brand I use isn’t showing up but this gives you an idea: https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Pro-Pyle-16-28-PLPTS2/dp/B003GEKXRM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Project%2Bstand&qid=1574003260&sr=8-3&th=1

Check these - http://www.amsstands.co.uk/

You can configure what you need too, apparently they are very stable.

For my summer tour, my expanding table was too much to try to bring on a plane. This meant that I was going to be stuck with whatever tables venues had, and these would inevitably be sitting height, not standing height.

My search for risers that would lift my equipment up, but also be easily transportable, led me to these:

While not quite rising to standing height… these get things up off the table enough to workable from a standing position. Plus, they quickly disassemble to a tidy flat package and are very light.

i’m looking into possibly getting some of these for my live performances:

On a similar yet frugal track, I’ve been using a Readaeer book stand to prop various items up (104hp skiff, desktop synth, small mixer) with good results. Not as compact when folded or as aesthetically pleasing, but a solid alternative. The little black page holders come off very easily.

Interested in how portable the folded table actually is (and how comes there’s no “gig stand” version of this system…)

Just wanted to follow up and say I bought the Gator stand and it is awesome - it’s not HUGE, but it has room for a launchpad, a launchcontrol, a laptop, an external hard-drive, and an audio interface. The height is adjustable and it fits right over my keyboard.

The only downside is that its sturdiness also means its a little on the weightier side - a hand that is carrying the flat surface doesn’t really have any room left for anything else.

Still, great buy!

Im looking for recommendations for a portable keyboard stand and a laptop stand that can collapse and pack fairly easy.

Looking to support an Axiom 61 and a Macbook Pro ''15.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks-

Hi all -

I have somewhat of a random question. I am looking for a stand for my 256 (or 128) for in-studio performances. I need it at about the height of a snare drum, maybe a little bit higher. The obvious choice would be indeed a snare drum stand but was wondering if anybody has thought of something that would better suit a grid.

Thanks in advance for any tips - and Happy 4th!

Cheers,
Ignacio

Not cheap, not light but I use a Meinl platform for gear when I perform. Adjustable, built like a tank.

Another angle is in my profile photo.

There are cheaper/lighter “percussion stands” out there. I think something like this may do what you need.

I couldn’t find any reference to a meinl platform online, could you point us to a link?
