In our quest to smoothly integrate laptops and controllers on stage we regularly bump up against ergonomic obstacles. It should feel totally natural and easy to use your digital gear live, but too often they sit awkwardly and at uncomfortable angles. In my regular practice and performance sessions, I have found that by angling my gear (both laptop and controller) I not only achieve a much more comfortable work flow, but also connect more with the audience by showing them the performance – not the back of my gear. Surprisingly, there was no simple and portable controller stand that would prop up my controllers on the market – so we went out and found the perfect one.
THE CONTROLLER STAND
- Product: AVIIQ Laptop/Controller Stand
- Price: $49.99
- Shipping: Available Now
- Weight: 5.5 ounces
- Construction: Hylite material (made in Germany)
- Folded Height: 12.73 inches (323.3 mm)
- Folded Width: 2.78 inches (70.5 mm)
- Folded Depth: 0.3 inches (7.5 mm)
- Unfolded Height: 4.5 inches (115.5 mm)
- Unfolded Width: 10.88 inches (276.4 mm)
- Unfolded Depth: 0.88 inches (22.4 mm)
This amazing object unfolds from a CD-thin rectangle into a very stable and strong 12 degree platform in just a few seconds. It’s no surprise then the AVIIQ stand won a design and engineering award from CES in 2010. The German made hylight material bends easily but un-folds to create a very sturdy platform.
While it was originally designed for laptops, we found that its design is actually perfect for a wide range of controllers. Easily holding everything from a Midi Fighter Pro to a full sized VCI-400! I have been using the controller stand at all my gigs for the last few months and can’t imagine not performing without an angled prop for my Midi Fighter Pro. While there are many other ways you can prop up your gear for less money, they are bulky, slide around and hardly look good at all. Having a simple, very professional platform that slides easily into a bag without taking any space is well worth $50.
ERGONOMICS 101
The hands and wrist should be at a 0 degree angle or a natural flat position
- Unfortunately, because we are standing above our gear, achieving that position is impossible with flat/boxy controllers.
- Furthermore, with the gear laying flat the audience sees nothing of the performance unless cameras and projectors are present.
Angling your controllers forward achieves two important things.
- Comfortable and natural hand position for a more relaxed performance
- Projects an audience focused presentation that is more engaging
THE SOLUTION
Adding more gear, especially bulk stands to your gig bag is simply not an option. We needed to find something that was light, packed up tightly and provided a stable platform that would not move around under heavy use. Luckilly the Aviiq laptop stand offered all of these functions and looked pretty sweet too, so we co-branded them and are now offering the line in our popular web store.

THE QUICK STAND
- Product: AVIIQ Laptop Stand
- Price: $39.99
- Shipping: Available Now
- Weight: 4 Ounces
- Construction: Hylite material (made in Germany)
- Bottom line: Lighter, faster to set up and less expensive, this works perfectly for a laptop but is a little too bouncy for instruments.
The controller stand is ideal for controllers because it’s unique cantilever design provides excellent stability without any bouncing while you rock faders and buttons. The “Quick Stand”, while being less expensive and easier to set up is less ideal for controllers because it lacks that stability. We do love it under laptops however, for which the Quick stand is perfect.
- By raising up the laptop at an angle, the keys are easier to access and feel more comfortable.
- The screen is elevated at a more natural viewing angle which is easier to read from a distance.

I guess DJTT should work on getting a special lower price on those stands. German standards of living are pretty high compared to North America. But if the quality is there, I don’t mind paying the price, especially if it’s not made in China.
But other than that, I think they look pretty f8cking cool.
Too expensive. I like the idea. It’s very San Francisco minimal design like other “new” products on one of those back/pledge funding site for start ups. I have spent small fortunes on several “geek appeal” products off those site admittedly, Some way over $50. BUT they’ve always added more than “geek appeal” but these “new” folding stands appear to compromise your setup equally as improving ergonomics and crowd appreciation unfortunately.
Certainly don’t stop bringing products to us users. As i’m sure most would agree we appreciate the efforts and thoughts. Just this time i can’t see you selling many. Perhaps if you offered all the colours and dropped the price before christmas you may sell a few “stocking fillers”

this is obviously a mass produced product that machines make within minutes. Now besides to the material itself and the cheap labor involved, I say this product should cost at most $10…fine $15 (if you wanna make a extra buck)
Some folks seriously are tripping in these comments. Yes, the stand looks a bit flimsy compared to something like the CRANE for instance. However, there are very few stands out there for your controller IN GENERAL, let alone one that is $50 or less and folds down to the size of a large ruler. COME ON YALL, THIS BLOG IS THE SHIT AND YOU KNOW IT. Further, the fact that Ean and the DJTT team goes out of their way to endorse products AFTER they have used them in the field personally is a real stand up method of putting your name behind something.
ALSO, not to be a punk but dj products are hardly cheap, and the ones that are generally last as long as you’d expect. People spending thousands of dollars on controllers and computers- if you don’t want this little guy just jog on! I mean, seriously, calling Ean out for being a sellout? Sounds like jealousy to me…
I may agree that the price seems a bit steep, but I haven’t tried the products either. Though they may look a bit cheap, I cannot say that they are cheap. The Midi-Fighter looks cheap too, but it feels great as fudge.
Based on my previous experiences with DJTT, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, and I doubt I’ll be dissapointed when I end up buying some of those stands.
And to be honest, I think they look badass. I love the DJTT-logo. It doesn’t feel as if your product is actually a commercial for a brand. I usually put a sticker over the brand-logo on my controllers (hell, I even use some DJTT-stickers to do so), but I don’t feel the need to do so with those stands.
So, to all of those who are bitching and moaning: Deal with it. You don’t have to be here, you know.
Sure, blind acceptance isn’t awesome, and by all means, critical thinking is awesome. But there’s a difference between being accepting and being a dupe, just as there’s a difference between being critical and being a douche. And based on the comments, too many here are being douchebags.
DJTT is a great site with some great articles and some great items in their store. What’s to complain about? This site isn’t custom-made for any of you personally, neither are the products. Not everything will be to your liking, and that’s something I assumed we all knew. I never thought I’d actually type this without referencing to a TV-show with my friends, but you need to chillax.
I’ve been coming to this site regularly for about two years now. I didn’t see a lot of articles about Ableton (which is what I use as a musician/producer and controllerist) or the music I play (glitchy breakbeat-oriented ambient with touches of noise, yes, all of that), but I still saw a lot of great tips which I could spin to my advantage. In fact, I wouldn’t have discovered, at least not nearly as quickly, that I could play my stuff live if it wasn’t for a couple of Ean Golden-videos and DJTT. So with this, I say “Thank you DJTT. You make life better”.

Are you commenters serious? It’s the age old debate of “I could do that better” … the most common attitude of people who spend their time either sitting on their parents couch all day or surfing the internet while at work (why don’t you do your job better!?) This whole backlash of comments indicates that people generally think the price is too high and the build quality is too low. As for the price… do any of you fools remember when being a DJ truly was a privilege because you had to have the spare dough to go out and buy records, tables, mixers, cables, on and on… you all need to quit whining and start paying for your music legitimately and then maybe, just maybe, can you come back here and complain about the price of a fucking laptop stand. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Don’t hate on a hard working company that many of you seem to parallel as Ean Golden. Ean is the man behind the company but what you so foolishly choose to ignore is the fact that there is a team of dedicated employees who help your whiny asses every day. So show some respect, especially if that means keeping our lame ass mouth shut. I’m an outsider of the company but I do appreciate all the innovation you guys pump out… so keep it up and remember 16 year old “DJ” haters gonna hate. Oh yeah and Ive used this stand… build quality is far superior to anything any one of you could produce for a similar price point. #real life
@f9352f94a9ad6b28451a7357266b37c1:disqus shut the fuck up!! this is a comments box… for people to comment, if people want to comment on how this flimsy piece of metal costs 50$ even though it probably costs 50 cents to make, they can comment. That has nothing to do with Ean Golden and DJ Tech Tools, so why dont u show some respect to the people that allow this website to succeed, the followers
In have to agree ‘m afraid, although some of your points are kind of right in terms of djing being a privelage etc, this is an open forum for comments and people have every right to comment how they see fit, strikes me that what you’re are doing is exactly what you’re whining about.
I agree that its real expensive for what it is and you prob could make something that works the same for a fraction of the price. I spend tons of cash on my music kit and vinyl so your argument don’t really stand.
All that said this site is awesome I agree and as you say they must definitely keep up the awesome work!

Im sorry but I could make that laptop stand easily, just some metal and rubber and a sticker on it. Yeah I might need to use some type of tool to bend the metal into shape but big whoop wanna fight about it?
I use a plastic stand with four rubber stops on it, with three built in fans to keep in cool, all powered by my laptop. How much? £3 on Ebay, hasnt broken in 6-5 months ive had it, trailed in along the ground, drink poured over it at parties and been lift running for hours on end. So excuse me if I dont wanna pay £50 on something as flimsy and low cost as this product, £50 which I could spend on more important things like music and upgrading my laptop.

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh habibi Ean……..its a VCI 400!!! and i want it…NOW!!!!! =)
guys you are really missing the point 😛
People come on, show some respect man… I believe Ean as an idealistic person who wouldn’t sell something that he doesn’t believe in/or hasn’t rigorously tested himself..If it’s too expensive then don’t buy it, don’t have to bash it in that its too expensive.. It’s being sold at aviiq at the same damn price..
Ean, come on man, you shouldn’t tell one of the forum members if he has the balls or not… That’s unprofessional mate..
As for the product, Ean’s right, angling controllers/CDJs/Mixers makes a lot of difference.. I love it when clubs do that… It just feels a lot better, and relaxes the wrists..
As for the laptop stand – I would definitely not recommend it for club usage since clubs have limited space, and plus it doesn’t elevate the laptop as much – which still means backaches..
Maybe some of you guys should do a DIY version of this, and try how it feels when your controller/laptop is elevated…
But I would definitely use it on the go for working, typing, browsing… It helps because you don’t have to bend your back as much when doing work on your laptop, and also relieves tension on the wrists..

The Little MIDI Store
Shut up crawler, those stands are obviously useless.
Shut up crawler, those stands are obviously useless.
And expensive……
And expensive……
I cut two circular holes in a laptop stand that I bought from ikea(4€), mounted two large computer fans with LEDs(about 3€ each) and I made some quick connections(about 3€) and made an awesome looking yet really cheap stand for my laptop that keeps it as cool as it is when turned off. I see no reason to spend 40 bucks for a triangle when for about 20€(I also bought a wall adapter) you can make yourself a better one…
Yeah, but you are trying to sell a product based on the angle being a good way to perform. Says who, DJTT? Dude, you partnered up with this company, threw your logo on it and now trying to sell it based on the angle being a good way to perform. If you look at some of your videos, none of your controllers are at an angle. But now it’s the hottest way to perform. Oh, but we should purchase it and give it a try 1st? Come on dude!
the comments section here seems to think this product is a fail. Sure I wish they would sell these for much, much less- but they dont and its the best thing we could find on the market. Why must people sometimes focus on one minor detail (price) and ignore the more important story (angling your controller forward).
Until you try angling your controller forward (which I really, really, recommend) – you have no idea how great it really is. Try the concept, and then come back to hate on the product.
Why must people sometimes focus on one minor detail (price) and ignore
the more important story (angling your controller forward).
Really? you POS EAN. Since when is price a minor detail? The Economy is taking a MAJOR dump, people are losing jobs, homes, gear LEFT and RIGHT and you want us to suck it up and stop bitching when you try to sell us something that is Seriously a 5 dollar 2 minute DIY project for 50 bucks. Have some respect for people Ean.
And Remember the market says if a product is a fail or not the vendor bringing it to the table, so suck it up and enjoy your feedback without crying.
I agree with 4real. You think we should just buy a product because it has a DJTT logo on it. The bottom line. it looks cheap and not sturdy, built quality sucks. You are just trying to make money. But tarnishing your rep as well. I mean mashing buttons, really.
You are really off base here. We are offering these products because they are a good quality and work very well. There are a million things we can sell, and I regularly turn down most of them. Many, many people have been asking for these stands- so we started to sell them and added our logo AS A BONUS. certainly not as a justification to buy. The product it good- try it out, and if you dont like it, you can get a full refund immediately.
1rst- Show some respect. If you want to call me a POS- at least have the balls to do it under your real name and not as some anonymous coward.
2nd- We didn’t set the price, the manufacturer did. I am just bringing to the markets attention the best product we could find that fit a need.
3rd- There is no way you can make anything even close to this in 2 minutes for $5. Manufacturing is much more complicated than most people think. Sometimes, making a high quality product, out of strong/flexible and light material- can be very expensive.
You deserve my comment bud, you had the nerve to tell a dozen plus people that they are ALL wrong and YOU are so innovative and to stop bitching and just pay you.
And no I can’t make the folding logo’d packaged product in 2 minutes, But I can make EVERYTHING you would ever need in a laptop stand by bending 16th inch stainless any freaking way i want it in a 20 ton press in about 5 minutes, and then make 10 more to give to my friends all for under $50, I could even do it out of something like diamond plate and be sizzling for $10.
great- if you can indeed make a better product for less, then do it! Then everyone will win. I am dead serious, go off and make some but I do think it would be challenging for you to sell them and make it worth your time to do it on a regular basis.
The problem? – they will be large- not very finished looking- cumbersome – not pack easily into a bag with lots of other gear- expensive to ship (about double due to the weight)- probably cost a lot more to make in any reasonable volume
Challenge accepted.

honestly after your comment calling Ean a POS, people are going to think every point you make is invalid and taken with a huge grain of salt.
I am for one bias to every thing you (4real) have stated regarding these laptop stands, simply because you are a jerk who enjoys ranting on people who create a blog (that you CLEARLY personally follow).
If Ean didn’t have a website that is dedicated to HELPING people with over 11,000 Facebook likes, I may have actually not cared about your ignorant comment
He deserved it, his comment was extremely arrogant, you probably didn’t get to read it before he completely changed it. (there was a reason he changed it)
turning a blind eye to the other 15+ people who share my same thought? Good for you! Your a Rebel.
How any facebook likes does Lady gaga have now? Cause everyone knows how great that stuff is.

If it lasts you a lifetime (or technology advances past the laptop) what’s the problem? Have you ever been on a Snap-on truck and seen what MECHANICS pay for tools? I just bought a set of technics mk2s yesterday that I have been saving for many months for and I only make minimum wage. Your going to pay to play. Go home.
I really don’t understand your anger. This product isn’t for everyone, but is is for SOME people. Just because a product doesn’t fit your particular needs doesn’t mean it is garbage. We like this product, and want other people to know about it. Sure it might be too expensive for some, but are we only supposed to talk about cheap gear? That wouldn’t make much sense now would it?
I can understand your doubts about a $40-50 piece of folding metal. I’ll admit when I first saw one in a picture I had some reservations. However, once a unit arrived at the office I quickly changed my mind. It’s extremely well designed, sturdy, folds down in a matter of seconds, and the angling of a controller is a pleasant change. I don’t know what your bag looks like, but I definitely don’t have room in my DJ bag for a big bulky stand. I’m already pressed for room as it is. It’s not like we are trying to rip anyone off. If you buy the stand and decide it’s not worth the money then you can return it for a refund.
I think it’s funny that you are telling Ean to “have some respect for people” when you are personally attacking him because you aren’t interested in a new product we are selling…. Criticism and open discussion are welcomed here, but there is no need to start insulting people. Last time I checked this blog was free and nobody is forcing you to buy anything. If you don’t like the product we are promoting, then don’t buy it. It’s that simple. Please take your negativity somewhere else.
Come on Ean! In that case are you saying that your midi fighters have been badly designed in the first place?
Definitely a bad price point, highest should have been $20.
There’s definitely slippage in the video as others have noted, also not keen on the give I see in the video either.
I guess everything posted cant always be a win, cuz this is surely a fail.

Man, thing got ripped to shreds here in the comments. It’s aiight…$9.99 sounds about right to me. Not buying the new Ergonomic technique..How are you going to engage effects and get nitty gritty on the top of controller. Button mashers may enjoy the ergonomic vibe. Flat will suffice for clubbing. I like the shoe comment also. Funny. Maybe this is why there’s all this output about Capitalism…$50 is ripping you off big time idn’t it? German Illuminati products cost alot though..
I used to love this blog, but you guys are really jumping the shark, you know that?
Have you ever tried to type like that? It’s a TERRIBLE angle to type ANYTHING.
Yeah, this blog has gone down since the redesign. Dunno, maybe they received some VC money and you know what happens after that. I can hear the huge sucking sound now. Get it right DJTT, and try not to sell out.
obviously its a terrible angle to type. How much typing do you do while djing on stage? very little. How much looking at the screen? A ton. This angle is better for that- I have tested both extensively on the road.
Ean, over the past year I have read just about every post on your blog and have learned a fair share that I now employ in my live performances. For that I have a profound respect for you and your team. However, while I don’t agree with comments here suggesting your blog has lost quality, I do think this particular product falls short of the bar DJTT has become known for. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes – it seems pitching this product to your audience is one such mistake.
I appreciate the respectful and constructive feedback. Can you please provide some specific areas that you feel the blog has been falling short? We have been putting more recourses in, hiring writers, and producing better content so it’s not like Dj TT is slacking off. That being said, I dont think we are perfect, so can you point out some specific ways that we can improve?

I wouldn’t pay anything for that… ok, let’s say 10$ but 50? WTF!!?
LOL
Hej guys, Sounds like a interesting product for a traveling dj!
BUT… if you talk Ergonomics, do it the right!
YES; it is better when you use this stand angling forward (towards audience)!
NO; it is creating a bad ergonomic position for your wrist angling it backwards (read your own ergonomical story again!)

Maybe I type a lot either, but my mousepad i do use a lot.
Ergonomics in general is much more related how your move/sit/stand long working days. So that few hours at the club/preformance a week is maybe not that important after all. So angling it towards the crowd for showing what you do is cool. Ergonomics we can leave out, unless your playing 8 hours a day!
But maybe you do Ean?!
;o)
seriously…
the only post for the day is an advert?
You should run your own world class DJ blog.
shit looks like it was made out of aluminum foil……… lol for $40-50 bucks? trippin
so, why is this different from, say, just anything you can put under your laptop to create the same effect…like, your shoe?
I wouldn’t pay over $20 for this flimsy piece of plastic..
C’mon guys I love your guys products but a laptop stand that’s so expensive? You guys just put up a blog post this summer showing us how to make diy laptop stands for less than 10$! You could have made similar stands for much much cheaper and gotten more from the manufacturer.
I own the same laptop stand. Great for personal laptop, but would not necessarily recommend for DJ performance. Controller(s) may slip off and would likely want a more elevated playing surface for a laptop. Also, the rubber tips off my fell off.
Meh… Three times in the video you were demonstrating button mashing and the controllers started to slip off the stands. You should’ve cut that out and we might be sold/fooled!
i saw too much flex. no thank you.
Just discovered these a couple weeks ago! nice to see a post about them
I made that quickstand out of cardboard for nothing
And if you cover it in silver duct tape and use a magic marker to write your name on it you’ll look more professional.
You could cover it in silver duct tape and no one would know the difference. Maybe use a sharpie to write your name on it.
yo this thing is perfect. ive been wanting something like this for a while now
