Hercules Stands DG400BB Laptop Stand

I bought a different stand for my 17" laptop, and it was unusable due to poor balance. The reviews were good so I took a chance on this one.If you have a laptop that's 17" or bigger, you should not even consider any other stand. This one is exactly what you need. Some really fantastic design work went into it making a stand that's different (and better) than all the others available. It's lightweight, but built like a tank. It's adjustable to three different heights and several different angles at both joints. But what makes a huge difference with this stand are the little legs that stick out on the back. Having those moves the center of gravity away from the rear edge and more toward the middle. This makes it much more stable. If you do have an unusually back-heavy laptop, you can adjust the angle of the top part to compensate for it. There is a little wobble, but show me a stand with none at all.PROS:Incredibly stable.Solidly built.Adjustable to multiple positions and heights.Folds up smaller (though to be fair not thinner) than other stands.Will hold laptops of any size (really!).Eye-catching design.CONS:The hooks for the laptop could be a little higher, but are still adequate.It was hard to come up with any cons for this.

This is the second time I purchased this stand. I wanted to have this for both of my Laptops. I use them in the Media production business and they are very attractive and strong. In my demanding business in studio and on the road I can depend on them to be very stable and secure. This is the best investment you'll ever make to avoid physical mishaps with your precious device.

Having owned several other brands and styles of laptop stand in the past, I really hesitated over the price of this one, however I have no regrets about it whatsoever. The stand is very stable and built like a tank; I'm only using it for a lightweight SurfaceBook right now, but this stand could easily hold a huge laptop with confidence. It has tons of adjustments and each position has a really solid "lock". I was particularly impressed by the "stepladder" height adjustment which would never let the stand suddenly drop onto an expensive controller. I found it easy to setup and equally easy to fold up, which I find far superior to other designs I have had, which involved unscrewing pieces and then reassembling them - this is a one piece design, nothing to get separated or lost. In it's folded form, it is really slim and easily fits in the pouch in my controller bag. A winner!

This thing is built like a tank but very elegant. If you are short on space you can't beat this. Fits very well behind and under the mixer case. It is however very tricky to fold but once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. Comes with a nice pouch for transporting. Highly recommend.

This is a sturdy stand that looks and feels great. It has incremental height adjustments and a continuous angle adjustment, which is helpful. It quickly folds flat and easily fits in the nice soft case that is included.Two issues with the stand keep it from getting 5 stars. On more than one occasion one of the rubber brackets that keeps the laptop from sliding off the shelf fell off the stand while I was using my 15" Macbook Pro's track pad. Luckily I noticed this as it was happening so I was able to hold the laptop with my hands and replace the rubber bracket. I'm going to try gluing this in place.The other issue is due to the angled design of the base, this won't slide under my Pioneer S9 mixer (with ot without it's case) without adding and/or moving feet to the case.

Setup and breakdown involves a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out it's a smart piece of machinery. Conveniently adjustable. Comes with a transport bag. Just right for a DJ - you can put the bottom of the stand under the deck for a very good ergonomic setup.

I wanted a super simple stand after returning one that took a degree to put together. You can almost use this like a Transformer, going from a large flat paperweight to a fully functioning stand in seconds. It has three adjustable heights which is enough for me, I use the middle one the most. I do wonder about the locking mechanism though since it's just knobs that tighten. While I don't have a problem now I wonder if in a few years something will wear out. Something to keep an eye on.

As a DJ this is Not a bad laptop stand at all! It holds up my pretty heavy hp envy 17 inch laptop very sturdily. Also very happy about the way that it can fold up and be slid into its own travel bag. Much needed and Very easy to use.
