bought it after i used to have my lappy right on the dj desk and a guy kicked a beer standing next to the lappy... onto my lappy, now the lappy is so high, but not to high, so that no glass, bottle or the like can be kicked onto it again...
also it has the perfect high on the table while playing to acsess the keyboard without bending over.
and it's light and fits perfect into my bag.
Do you use it at home? How is the height for that purpose... ie when not in the booth.
I need a stand to use both out and at home so that I can keep my laptop cool.
The wood desk wont allow it to breathe.
yep i also use it at home... it's fitting me perfect. at home it has the right height for sitting on a desk and having the screen straight up in eyesight, using a bluetooth mouse and external usb keyboard with the laptop.
and in a club it's perfect for standing on a dj desk and the keyboard / trackpad is in the right high without bending the back forward all the time. (e.g. for browsing, etc.)
so it does fit me well, and it's simple built two chunky pieces of alloy and one chunky piece of acryl plastic, very solid. and built together in 1 minute.
and i forgot to mention it allows very good cooling... and swings just a bit, so it protects very nicely the HD from heavy bass vibration in clubs!!!
the stanton one is cool as well, but very pricey a bit higher, i think too high even in a club if the lappy is somehow in front of you, no one can see you anymore and they are staring at a body with a laptop screen instead of a head, because it is designed to stay behind / under a turntable, i like to place my lappy a bit off center and not to high so people can still see me and i can see people rather then sinking into the screen, ok, you can 'fold' the stanton one smaller then the griffin, but it takes more effort and time to put up as well.
