Quite wobbly, returning it

What device is on the stand here?

Looks like a Roland Boutique 303…

I just picked one up in the local Ikea and will try it out. Thx for the effort and risking your gear

The desk looks pretty solid at a reasonable price

AIKO · 2022-10-06T10:30:47.318Z

Stands look fine to me for the price. Too bad there is only one angle to setup.
Oh, the laptop stand is not really usable for OT unless you want to be standing up.

Also, I think I will be getting some cork/rubbery matt to make it more sturdy to use.

AIKO:

Best budget option I guess?

As mentioned VESA mount definitely the best way to go for Digi’s, IMO

Could repurpose a ceiling mount (i.e. turn it upside down lol) for £15 and have it at whatever angle you want

Depending on your setup you could get a 2/3 arm VESA mount and set yourself up Minority Report style

Yea setup looks nice - and they easy to collapse and move around

They certainly LOOK like they would slide all over the place at the slightest touch.

AIKO · 2022-10-06T12:41:02.850Z

Well, surely that could work if screwed down to the table, but then I would have to make up my mind about its position lol.

I was looking at Varidock/Mirai, but yea, a bit pricey for me at the moment. Maybe the OT will get some nicer one.

Thanks for the tip!

haha - I think for most angles it would work fine freestanding - but I like the idea of screwing it to a wall - extra desk space

It’s not that bad actually. I have a standard Ikea desk, some wood top, and I can bang on the Syntakt buttons pretty hard without it moving around. That said, it does shake a little, but not enough for me to even think about it. But yeah, some friction does help. Even just a little black electrical tape around the feet/bar would surely eliminate the problem altogether.

There are actually two angles, although not quite officially Works great with the flatter angle.

Thank you.

Still too high but I’ve manage to find something suitable for the DT, DN and ST.

I set them on the lowest notch.

I was just about to post this. Mine isn’t the same exact brand/model but it’s basically identical. Pretty sturdy, adjustable angle and width to suit multiple devices, and it folds up nicely to fit in a travel case. Most of them are $15 or less too.

Easy to find if you search for “portable, adjustable laptop stand” on Amazon.

Niiiiiice I definitely think yours are better as there are a few tiny issues with the ikea ones.

Artsutanav · 2022-10-12T21:14:56.003Z

They feel a bit wobbly when you unfold them but once a device is placed on it it’s absolutely fine. No sliding around either.

I use those cheap £2 plastic stands ikea made … no idea why they’d need Swedish house mafia involved other than obvious marketing nonsense. … are customers so easily duped ? Or maybe I’m too cynical.

Another bonus to these is that once I had my Syntakt propped up on it, instead of laying flat, the operating temperature dropped about 20°F. Not sure why, but it makes it run a lot cooler.
