DJ Laptop Stands: Stop Wobbling and Start Mixing Like a Pro

Ever Had Your Laptop Crash Mid-Set? Yeah, Us Too.
Picture this: you’re mid-set, the crowd’s buzzing, and then, bam, your laptop wobbles off a dodgy table, taking your mix (and your dignity) with it. We’ve all been there, fumbling in the dark of a sweaty DJ booth, praying the next drop isn’t a literal one. Enter the unsung hero of any decent rig: the DJ laptop stand. At DJKIT®, we reckon it’s time to stop stacking your gear on old pizza boxes and start taking your setup seriously. Here’s why a proper stand is your ticket to a smoother gig, and how to pick one that won’t let you down.
Why your laptop deserves better
Let’s face it, most DJ booths weren’t built for the digital age. Cramped, cluttered, and usually home to a sticky pint glass or two, they’re a nightmare for your laptop. A solid stand, like the DJKIT® LPT01 Pro from our range, lifts your machine above the chaos. At 34 cm high and built from sturdy steel, it’s angled just right to keep your screen in view and your cables out of trouble. No more neck strain or mid-set panic when your mate knocks the table.
And it’s not just about avoiding disasters. A good stand, say, the Gravity Stands Laptop & CDJ model, frees up space for your decks or mixer, letting you focus on the tunes, not the Tetris game of your setup. Plus, it looks the part. Nothing screams “pro” like a rig that’s tidy, elevated, and ready to roll.
What to look for (and what to avoid)
Not all stands are created equal, and trust us, we’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright wobbly. Here’s the lowdown:
· Stability: Skip the flimsy fold-ups that collapse under a 17-inch beast. The Citronic Laptop & CDJ Stand in our collection is a rock-solid choice, perfect for heavier setups.
· Portability: Gigging DJs need something that packs down fast. The Stanton Uberstand, with its zippered bag, folds flat and slips into your kit without a fuss.
· Height and Angle: You’re not a hunchback, yet. The LPT01 Pro’s fixed 34 cm height keeps your posture in check, while adjustable options like the Novopro Laptop Stand let you tweak it to your vibe.
· Extras: Foam strips to stop scratches (cheers, LPT01) or a shelf for your hard drive (hello, Stanton) can seal the deal.
Avoid the cheap plastic knockoffs, they’ll leave you cursing when your laptop takes a dive. Stick with DJKIT® for kit that’s been road-tested by DJs who get it.
Real dJs, real stories
Don’t just take our word for it. Our punters love these stands. One reviewer of the LPT01 Pro said, “Does what it says on the tin, fits my MacBook perfectly and sits next to my DDJ-400 like a dream.” Another raved about the Gravity Stands: “Sturdy, well-made, and why pay more?” These are the tools keeping UK DJs spinning without the stress.
