DJ Stand Recommendations

I've seen a couple of options similar to what you're looking for; are you looking for individual stands for each of the CDJs and the laptop as a separate entity between them, or just one "shelf"?

Hi Pulse, I would be happy with either, probably  more inclined towards the separate stands, think they would be little more versatile.

I've had Apples since the 80s and I've never seen a 19" Macbook!

Cheers Pulse they are exactly what I was afer, sorry Ryan I meant 17", thanks for the informative reply about 'DJ stands' lol

I have the Spacetek stand for my CDJ2000s and it's excellent.  Very high build quality and easy to put players in/out.

Which one have you got mate?

@Dark Energy > In the end, I made my own. I'd love to get a CAD done and create it out of steel though.

@ Gavin.. I use Solidwoks almost everyday at work and luckily I get to take my computer home with me. Perhaps I might model something up for you off of a 'napkin' sketch? Let me know....

@Dennis > That'd be quite cool to see a concept but only if you have time. I've considered asking my Dad to sketch something up on AutoCAD but I'm not really in the position to get something made up right now. Thanks!

try www.djdeckstands.com

based in redditch,

i've heard nothing but bad things about djdeckstands.com - just do a bit of searching around.

all that is is a wingstand (£160) and an Ikea book shelve (about £50) with a little £5 shelve to prop up the wingstand so the decks can fit

If I were doing it... I think I'd do this:

I am also looking at Spacetek.

I have a question however.

CLAMP DOWN vs BOLT DOWN! Of course bolt down is more secure and where I lean however if I want to move it back, to the side or whatever I face holes all in my desk. The Clamp is also great for these issues however I'm not 100% sure how secure it is.

I guess I could go free standing but not much play when adjusting the angle so I left that out.

I'm sure we have enought people who have, had or know what works for them and could give me their thoughts... thanks!

Spacetek build quality is absolutely top-notch.  They are super-heavy duty construction, and solid as a tank.

I chose the freestanding version because I wanted to have maximum freedom to move the stand around.  The base platform is so heavy and stable that there is honestly no chance of it wobbling or falling over.  The Spacetek stands are designed to be modular so you can switch them to another attachment if you like.  (i.e.  you can buy freestanding, but then buy the clamp hardware and just switch it over)

You could order the freestanding separates and try those out first, and order the clamp hardware if they don't work out to be ideal.

My version is a Freestanding double-stand, where both players are attached to a single pole mount.  But if you plan to keep your turntables, then I think it would be better to get separate poles for your players.  The base plate should fit beneath the Technics 1200 so that the CDJ floats above the turntable nicely.

I was waiting for someone to mention djdeckstands. My advise dont bother. I got mine off them. Dont get me wrong im more thatn happy with the stand. It was getting it was the problem and not worth the hassle.

@ Fuse.

I'm so glad you mentioned that. I think I will buy the mount stand and seperatly buy the free standing plate. I will try the plate out first and if I don't like it I can mount but if and when I go mobile and need my 3rd deck I also have a mobile stand. Better to ship all together...

@ Fuse

I couldn't find how wide and deep the plate is for that stand. Would you mind letting me know what the size is, if u have time.

My table is 48 inch (4 foot) X 24 inch (2 foot)

The CDJ and all are 16/17 (cables) ish so I have around 8 inches free so I am guessing some of the plate will have to slide up under a CDJ so... just curious

Just measured my base plate.

18 inches wide.  17.5 inches Deep at the Center.   15 inches Deep at the left and right edges.  (The back side of base plate is rounded, so deeper in middle)

Keep in mind that I have the double arm stand.  This is it:  http://www.spacetek.net/spacetek-cdj2000stdbl.html

It sounds like you might want to do the separate stands, though?  Like these:  http://www.spacetek.net/spacetek-cdj2000st.html

I'm not sure whether the base plate is the same size on both those models.  From the images it looks like they are the same, but you might want to drop Spacetek Support an email to confirm.

Check out the About page for Spacetek.   Looks like they specifically designed the base plate to perfectly fit a Technics 1200 turntable.

yes, seperate is what I am after. Thanks for the reply on the size...

Check out these pictures for anyone wanting something like this... I don't know if this is a new style or older style but he sent them to me...

Oh and he stated the don't need to be bolted down but looks limited on movement...
