You'd be surprised how expensive these things actually are!
The model I have is a couple years old but here's a new one going for 650: http://www.amazon.com/SKB-12U-Shock-Mount-Rack/dp/B000EENJYG
It really doesn't make sense to me.
I use a very similar stand to that one - the DR Pro laptop stand - which is a little pricier but has the nice feature of having a second shelf and being width-adjustable. The slightly cheaper On-Stage Stands version also has a shelf but is not width adjustable. I would at least spring for that one instead of the one you linked, because of the extra mounting hardware and the shelf. I don't have any pictures at the moment unfortunately.
I'm not sure how build quality differs between the manufacturers since they appear to be largely the same design, but my DR Pro one is very rugged and gig-worthy. The on-stage stands one probably is as well.
This one, but white.
I've found it to be pretty sturdy. Only problem is it doesn't come with washers, and it kinda needs them because the supports for the laptop have a little width to them. Because of that, the bottom bar is always just a bit shorter than the top 2 bars. Still works without them though. I tightened mine too tightly to get the knob off the bottom, so it's been washerless but has worked for like 6 months so far with no problem.
This one Hola! Music HPS-300B Heavy Duty Professional Multi-Purpose DJ Tripod Stand - Laptop Stand, Projector Stand, Mixer Stand and other Audio Equipment https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010SJ0Y0I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_4I5mDbPBSHFW4
And the Model D is on another similar one - placed behind it
I carry this in my trunk all the time - it's sturdy, adjustable, and fits a large laptop nicely. The small lip on the edge is also great to keep your device from sliding off if bumped.

I have this and it's good in the house but it's a pain in the arse to take to clubs because it doesn't fold up and takes about 5 minutes to put together. Anyone know of any cheap folding stands as the price for something like the stanton uberstand is ridiculous.
This one is the king, although unfortunately not collapsible. Has a nice tray and flat legs that slip under your laptop.
this is the stand - I have two. Strong. Stable. The board pictured in this post is the one I put on the stand. If I remember correctly it’s a Donner board. And a Donner power supply. I specifically got the mixer so we can use the 12 V on that. I use the 18V for the Digitech dirt pedal. I daisychain a few of the analog pedals together on one of the 100ma 9V outs. A few other pedals get dedicated 100ma lines. There are two higher-ma 9v outs. I use one for the outer rings and the other for the Rubberneck. Another feature: I run a daisychain out from one of the 100ma powerports to the electro-Faustus drone thing and the other no-name 6 oscillator drone synth I sometimes plug into this board. … Hope that’s enough power info!
Currently in three bands, I only use this one in synthband.com, see url for deets. All improv. Actual improv, rather than what most people call improv, which is mostly improv. So, it’s varied. Sometimes we slip into a genre, often noise. I have three other boards we use in that band, too. (here are two of them ) The band has never been the same lineup twice so that keeps things fresh.
Other bands (which don’t use this pedalboard) iCurd.com (a recording project) and Gurtrudestein, a horror-punk outfit I joined as a bassist. Small board there: polytune, mxr m80, electro-Faustus super disruptor.
… I think I covered everything?
i'm always switching things around but in this case i was using the sp to process my samples before sampling them into the mpc. some eq or vinyl sim. sometimes i'll do it the other way around once i have a complete beat produced on the mpc, i'll run it through the sp to effect the entire master bus.
i'm pretty sure this is the stand i got: https://www.amazon.com/Hola-Music-HPS-290B-Professional-Projector/dp/B07F3X3RT9/
if i'm doing something sample based i'll usually find a 8 or 16 bar loop i like and chop it across all 16 pads. sometimes i'll lay drums first and then play the samples on top, sometimes i mess around with the sample until i find a pattern i like and then add drums on top. then i mix and master in logic
from first hand experience, i could tell you that i love my laptop stand.
it’s decent priced and the build quality is sturdy as hell. i’ve had it for over a year and it hasn’t even moved an inch.
Here are some.
