Any ideas on how to keep 24" Imac onstage safely

Post by roembach » Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:26 pm

Ive started doing live gigs using some controllers and ableton, but Im always scared my Imac is going to topple onto the floor. I use an end tableto keep it on next to a keyboard stand with a board holding some gear. does anyone know of any kind of rack or stand that will hold a 24" Imac between 3 and 4 feet?

I just bought a speaker stand and bolted a board with a clamp on top, more sturdy than a table, worked great last night
