NS7 Laptop Stand =cO (the uh-oh face)

YOHNNYB 12:29 PM 12 March 2010
is is just me or does anyone else get nervous about ur laptop being so far away from u, as in catching distance, or just hovering out there in the open for anyone to "bump" into it
chris ross 2:06 PM 12 March 2010

+1..I do too.

I wish Numark comes up with another kind of stand that brings the laptop closer and higher, while still being able to hook it up to the built-in NSFX piece.

im looking for a higher stand now....which stand is it i see in some videos thats REALLY high, i think it clamps on to a table but it goes like 3 feet up

I have an old Odyssey laptop stand that has clamps on it that can be attached....I'm not sure if back wall of the NS7 case has enough room to put them on...I'll try them this weekend and report back.

On top of the "someone tripping into the laptop" issue, I find it very inconvenient to type into my MBP with the laptop so far...plus, my beer-produced belly doesn't help either.

Same here in my second gig with the NS7 as I was setup very close to the dancefloor, plus the occasional people that approaches you with requests.

By the way, I use a 2x4 foldable table to put the NS7"s case on.

Very funny...however, quite possible.

I also worry when I leave everything setup in the room and have to go out for whatever reason.

I get more concerned during Quinces and events were there are kids involved...Weddings' guests in the other hand, tend not to approach the DJ area as much compared with the other mentioned events.

I've seen a Numark laptop stand that you can set next to you instead of having it out in front of the NS7.

Something like that would be nice...but instead of being next to the case, it should be able to attach to where the current stand goes into.

im hoping numark or someone comes up with an alternative stand.
i have a gig next fri. for st. pattys so im expecting the worst as far as that goes. EH i'll throw some plastic wrap around it, might even help protect from an accidental spill ha ha!

Good luck on that one...and yes, put some plastic wrap for sure.

im hoping the price go down on the ns7 case........im not spending 300 bucks.....
Subdriven 6:12 PM 14 March 2010
I need to get a case soon... and yea the 300 hurts.... I've only found 2 cases and one is only 50 more and has a crazy laptop setup on it...
chris ross 6:15 PM 14 March 2010
the most i would spend is 150................its like damn i already spent 1200 for the ns7 at least give me a break on the case
Subdriven 6:17 PM 14 March 2010
Yea, since it can only be used for the NS7....
chris ross 6:41 AM 15 March 2010
ok i really didnt spend 1200 i spent 600 but still im not paying 300 im just going to carry it around till the price drop
DJ something stupid! 11:22 AM 15 March 2010
yeah i played with the ns7 this Saturday @ a Quince's and i was worried about those kids getting too close to the laptop, But thank God they didn't.
What they did do: unplugged the power cord, and request "La Bamba" wich are synonymous.
and typing on my laptop on the ns7 stand = not good for my back!
on top of the $1700 for the ns7 you still gotta pay for the case and replace the laptop stand...
chris ross 11:25 AM 15 March 2010
hold you let them unplugged your shit.....thats ass whip city rite there......

+1...totally agree....I thought I was the only one who didn't like to type in my MBP with that stand.

I'm seriously thinking about using my Odyssey laptop stand on the side.
YOHNNYB 3:02 PM 18 March 2010
im thinking about getting an odyssey for myself as well
just bought the case from numark too
i figured since i dont have renter's insurance yet another $300 in protection couldnt hurt and the $175 3yr warranty from GC only covers so much. HA
Wazo 10:26 PM 18 March 2010
^^^ no renters insurance for all you thieves out there.

FREE NS7!!
Wazo 10:26 PM 18 March 2010

YOHNNYB 2:31 PM 5 April 2010
