OUR OPINION

If you are a digital DJ, a stand for your laptop that is easy to use and quick to setup is a necessity. The LSTAND is designed to elevate your laptop over your DJ setup, eliminating the "where do I put my laptop while I DJ" problem. In addition the height-adjustable, elevated angle gives you easier access to your laptop controls. It works as a stand-alone component as well as an extension for a dj coffin or table. Remove the two bottom supports and replace them with the included clamps, and the LStand will attach onto any surface up to 2 1/8" thick. The clamps can angled in 2 different directions, allowing you to attach it both to a flat table or the vertical side of a DJ coffin. The tray attaches to the LSTAND to hold your Serato box, interface, hard drive, or other accessories. Sturdy metal construction.

Looking at the Sefour record box, I cant help but draw comparisons to the TTL "Perfect Record Box" we carried a couple year ago. The two are pretty similar in design and looks, but unfortunately the TTL boxes are never coming back (sorry!), so the Sefour is currently your best option for classy vinyl storage. The Sefour box can store up to 60 vinyl LPs and features a simple, stackable design in a stylish black laminate finish that would not look out of place in the studio or lounge. Unique to the Sefour box is the integrated chrome handle that can help when moving the box and can also be used to separate the records you are about to use in your set. Boxes are delivered in a flat package and aer easily assembled with included hardware. 40cm x 33cm x 33cm.

KEY FEATURES

• holds up to 60 records
• integrated chrome handle
• stylish black laminate finish
• stackable

OUR OPINION

The Uberstand has become a DJ staple. Many DJs perfer its simple, no-nonsense design (easy fold and unfolding), compact shape, and high quality materials. This definitely falls under the category "simple is better." The lack of height adjustment could be seen as a drawback, but the Uberstand actually hits the vertical sweet spot for most DJs.
