Can’t Afford A Crane Stand? Meet The Magma Vektor

DJ equipment company Magma has released the Vektor laptop and DJ equipment stand, with a design that’s similar to the now-iconic (but decidedly pricey) Crane Stand. The Vektor is designed to support a laptop, DJ controller, or other production equipment like the Native Instruments Maschine, Ableton Push 2 or Novation Launchpad.

We took a look at the Magma Vektor back in NAMM 2017, and liked it; the stand can be easily folded away and quickly reassembled to the height and angle you require, and the base is thin enough to be placed underneath a mixer, turntable, or controller. This makes it an ideal solution for laptop DJs in cramped DJ booths.

Why use a laptop stand?

If you DJ with a laptop, a laptop stand is an ideal way to increase the space available on your DJ desk or in the booth when gigging. A stand can also save you from the backaches and pains associated with hunching over a laptop.

• The Magma Vektor laptop stand is available now for US$89. Find out more on the Magma website.
