Millenium Laptopstand Clamp

The stand comes in white box with no labels, and inside you find quite a few pieces and screws and a very simple instruction sheet. However, the item is quite logically built and in a matter of minutes it can be assembled. When finished, the stand feels solid and it supports my 13" MacBook with no problem. The top pieces are equipped with foamy material, so you don't have to worry about your gear falling off or getting scratched. It keeps your laptop or lighter DJ machinery firmly in place, even though the front stoppers aren't so big.

Two big clamps are provided with the item, so with them the stand can be table mounted. When attached with clamps, the stand feels very rigid. In addition, two flat feet are available for regular tabletop use, but then the stand feels a little bit flimsier when stacking heavier items on it. The height and width can be slightly adjusted unlike the angle of the stand.

This laptop stand is perfect for the price, and has served faultlessly in my home studio. It may not be a stand of choice for touring use, as it isn't fully adjustable and features small parts when dismantled, but for the money, it works like a charm.

Assembly was a bit of a struggle, as the machine drilled holes that screw the bridging tubes were out of alignment on each side, which meant the whole stand was unbalanced from the start. I eventually found a set of holes that lined up ok (only ok, not perfect). That aside, I found that it's a bit of a clunky bit of kit to travel with, hard to find a bag that fits it without breaking it down, needs a fitted foam flight case really. And finally the two arms where my laptop sits are super shallow. My 16" Macbook Pro feels like it could easily slip off, particularly when the the arms are perfectly level with each other. It did the job for a while, but I've since moved on to a better setup, so it's just gathering dust.

This stand is very versitile. I bought this model because of the possibility of putting flat feet on it (instead of the clamps), as with these feet other material could be put underneath (it comes with strips of thin anti-scratching material that can be glued so that the equipment underneath does not slip nor gets scratched when put on top of these metal feet).

With the regular stand (same model but without the clamps) the bottom feet are higher at the junction so it gives less space to put material underneath (see pictures in Thomann's website for these two models). I use this, for example, to put a MicroKorg underneath (I also glued some rubber feet on the MicroKorg to be sure it does not scratch the metal feet and is floating above these) and a computer laptop on top, or under my axiom 61 to put an expander module synth on top to play with.

I wished maybe the stand could go a little lower at its the minimum height, and ideally that we could control its angle. But really, at this price, you can't really find a stand that is perfectly functional and versitile as this one, as you can also regulate its height (very useful for DJ gear I guess).
