Hi,

Is anyone aware of a device that is not a road case that can elevate a laptop more than 4 feet without creating a big stage footprint? Closer to 5' would be ideal. Most commercial offerings appear to max out at 41" which makes sense if you're standing and typing on the laptop, but if you're attached to something that puts you higher off the ground (like a stationary bike, for example) and you need to do some stuff with iTunes with one hand, then 41" is way too low.

Any ideas appreciated.

Google "clamp on laptop stand". That brings up a plethora option for attaching to something that's already up there and would move with whatever you are trying to use it with. If you needed it to be stand-alone, building something that could clamped to shouldn't be too difficult.

Look at the Da-lite projector stands. Two sizes of tops available, individually adjustable legs let you angle it or adjust for a raked floor. The legs unscrew from the top and clip together for easy transport. Mark C.

If this is for onstage use, I'd be worried about stability. It's complete overkill, but a truss pedestal has a ~30" square footprint and would be rock solid.

On a more realistic note, a mic stand mount laptop holder (such as this one from Ultimate Support could work, especially with a beefy mic stand underneath (something like the Atlas MS20, for example)

Thanks, I relayed this option to our colleagues, I think it would work best.

In the meantime we're using a conductor's music stand which reaches the needed height, and I will recommend some sandbags for the base.
