Mount-It! Mobile Projector and Laptop Stand (2 Shelves), Rolling Cart with Ventilated Tray, Heavy Duty, Height Adjustable Laptop and Projector Presentation Trolley, Black

I was recently approached by a leading television network to be interviewed in my studio, via a large tablet like all-in-one PC (Cisco DX70-08). The producer needed to have the unit setup in different positions, for different angle shots. The Mount-It stand seemed the perfect choice, rather than to perch the heavy, 14" wide tablet PC on an a bulky, non-movable platform, or cabinet. Moving the PC to different positions was made much easier with this stand. Assembly was easy, and only took about half an hour to complete. The stand seems fairly stable, but if you're supporting a camera equipped device on it, just be careful not to bump it, as it will sway a little, from a strong bump. I never felt afraid the device would not handle the load of a DX70 PC, but it handles it nicely. I also liked the fact the stand's platforms have cable management holes, as well as slits near the edges of the platforms. This makes it possible to strap down a projector, camera, or PC / laptop to it. Also a plus, are the raised edges, which stop your gear sliding right the way off, in the event of a tip-over situation. The platforms are very stable, and made of thick metal. I wish the stand had quick release latches for easy raising, and lowering of the mast. As it is, you have to completely remove the two bolts from the mast, in order to raise, or lower the mast. I also wish the loser platform could be raised, or lowered, as well. As it is, you "have" to sit, if you're running projection, with a laptop. I suppose one could clamp another laptop shelf to the rig, at a higher position. I like the 30 degree tilt capability of the upper platform. The locking casters are also a plus. Great, if you're doing video production with the stand, or positioning a projector. I like that the mast can be raised enough to shoot projection over a seated, or standing audience, no problem. This stand is also great, if you're in a place that won't allow ceiling mounted projectors, as it has a fairly small footprint. I only wish this thing could be easily collapsed. However, it is fairly small, when the mast is lowered, and it's light enough to carry, and load into a vehicle, yet heavy enough, it won't tip over, as long as you don't overload the stand.

This mount is beyond great! 1. Its very heavy duty (maybe steel since it has a good amount of weight to it). The casters are also really good and smooth. 2. It is very slim and has a well balanced weight for the legs so I am not worried about it tipping over. 3. I needed a mount that is slim and can fit behind the couch. This product comes with the center of mass in the middle, so I made changes to the design to fit my needs. Just used a couple of L Brackets and made new mounting holes. Even when the center of mass is moved all the way to the end, there was no tipping or sagging from my 15lb projector (VANKYO Performance V600 - AN AMAZING PROJECTOR). Drilling into this was a bit of a struggle but get yourself a center drill bit and perhaps a step drill bit and go to town with your drill. I also redrilled the holes on the bottom so that is as close as possible to the edge. The weight of the legs are decent enough that there was no tipping with my setup. Very versatile mount and very great quality. I bought from Amazon Warehouse to save $20bucks and it came without a couple of bolts. Clearly by my pictures you can see I'm a DIY'er so a few bolts was a simple task to find in my spare drawer. Only suggestion would be that the laptop mount be height adjustable, instead it is welded on to an exact stationary position. Would be also a nice touch is have some sort of simple cable organizer that can be run down the tube for a clean look.

I searched everywhere for a cart to use for my Dad's lymphedema / leg compression machine. After making a rounded cushion for the top for the leg wraps, this is now the perfect solution. Sturdy, rolls easily and the slots on the shelves make it easy to attach things to them. I do wish the top shelf was a little easier to raise and lower (a ball plunger would be better than the screws).

I wanted something sturdy to hold my projector (at 5'), a laptop, or other devices and this product did not disappoint! For my needs, the mount-it stand was perfect as it allows me to easily move my projector setup and not be stuck with a permanent location. The stand is quite heavy duty, rolls nicely, and the top platform tilts (in case your projector doesn't have lens shift capabilities). The tilt functionality would also be useful for people that wanted a more ergonomic setting while using a laptop. The welds on this stand are great quality. With the geometry of the stand's base, it's way more steady and durable than any other stand out there in it's class. There are slits in the platforms which allow for cable management using velcro straps or zip ties. The casters have locks on a couple wheels so you can better maintain a fixed position. Anyway, I'm super happy I found this product as my initial research took me to a bunch of shoddy tripod-type stands that just looked incredibly flimsy and were only a little cheaper than the mount-it. However, if you are looking for a tripod-type stand, I would go with the Hola HPS-300B which seems quite versatile and would work well for an outdoor projector use case. The rest of the tripod stands can't compete with the Hola at all.

Bought this for the projector we use in our family room. I also bought the projector for outdoor use. Have not used it outdoors yet, but this far it's been great! Holds the projector and a DVD player. I zip-tied a surge protector to the lower upright and plug everything in there (plus the cords). Keeps the unit portable and not cluttered. I added a portable Bluetooth speaker and we have our own movie theater. This unit is solid and extends pretty high. I use it over the back of our couch and it raises to probably 2.5 to 3 feet over the couch, so no fear of someone being able to sit in front of it and block the projector. Extremely happy with this unit!

I bought this for our church as we often have events outside and have to gerry-rig a way to set up the projector & computer. This projector mount is perfect for when we do that as it is stable (the projector is not going to sag under the weight) and easily moved and height adjustable. The slim profile also means that it will take up far less room than the card table we used to pull out. We haven’t used it outside yet, but have it in the sanctuary. This allows us to put the projector in a better position & prevent the weight issue their too. The only con is that the wheels are a pain to get on and they come off easily too. - the rest of the assembly was very easy.

This is a great stand. It is very sturdy and well-made. The joints are welded. The bolts have square ends on them to hold them tight into the tubing. This makes for a stable stand. The two shelves can be used for either a projector or a laptop— interchangeable. The one drawback for me is that the adjustable part of the stand is not easy to use. I was hoping for a release lever idea. This has two bolts with knobs that must be completely removed before one can raise and lower the stand. This set up does make it very stable though. The height range is very flexible. The locking wheels are a great addition. It would be very cumbersome to try to move this stand around without the wheels. I give this stand very high marks in spite of the adjustment issue.

See info on why I chose to buy this below as the rest of the review is TL;DR long. Price : 3.0, in 2nd price tier (see below) Assembly : 1.8 Fit/Finish : 2.8 Overall : 2.6-2.8, round up to 3 stars [Q] Would I buy it again knowing what I know now? [A] Maybe, but probably not. Would break my budget and go up to tier (c) -- see "why I chose..." My use: projector inside/outside on temporary screen for movies with friends. Stability was #1 criteria, which is mostly meets with caveats. Has some design flaws that could easily be overcome, but they impose some stability issues which required me to constantly adjust the feet after every 1-2 uses. Either the design needs closer tolerances or there need to be top screws at the base's cross bar/leg bar attachment point same as used on the vertical pole has. Using metal shims can reduce this and make it more stable on one-off basis if so inclined. Not easily adjusted, but the lower fixed shelf at ~27" and top shelf at lowest adjustment of 39 1/2" are close enough to what I need for most uses, I don't have to go through the pain of adjusting the height. My opinion is the "adjustable" part means at assembly time choosing the height you want. Its good enough for now. Got what I paid for, I guess. But adding just a minimum of 4 additional screws would have made this soooo much better in terms of base stability and alignment. Mid-weight mild steel frame. Shelves seem to be 3/32" mild steel also. The steel was fairly easy to bend into/out of shape (which is what the bolts do during assembly as this is required to overcome the loose part fit.) --- Why I chose to buy this item --- There seem to be three price ranges: a) low end (30$ +/- 10) b) mid level (70$ +/- 20) 2x bump up c) high end (180-250$ ) 2x bump up My criteria for choosing was fairly simple: 1. stability confidence that a mid-level $400-500 projector and/or $800 laptop wouldn't be at risk, due to stability, of falling over and being broken (would I be willing to risk use of my least expensive portable LED projector w/replacement cost of $250 on this choice?), 2. keeping it within a comfortable budget. 3. adjustable range of 24"-42" Non-criteria, but nice to have: 3. setup on flat/hard surface or uneven grass. Non-criteria 4. small storage footprint #1 means there will be stability that once set up it wont jiggle/bounce the image on screen as someone walks by. Short version as to my end choice: (a) was mostly (all?) tripods, and the mechanical base footprint is either too small, in my opinion, for the stability level I'm looking for or there was the significant potential added mechanical instability (slop) due to its design principals employed or mechanical fit & fitness issues in its manufacture. - reading the reviews seem to reflect those concerns had merit - all dropped because these less expensive models do not have my confidence of repeatable use via-a-vis stability, aka my projector/laptop are at the potential risk of falling/breaking. So, the majority of (a), even though the tripod designs seemed ideal for my purpose, were dubious choices for me as I had reservations about long term stability. The vertical moment arm with a weight at the end (my laptop/projector) can quickly hit a tipping point based upon the base footprint, especially as the set height increases. (c) out of my price range. But Roland SS-PC1 or Roland PDS-20 ($180) tripod design would be on my short list to look at, along with ULINE's H-9014 ($200) portable desk design. There were two main choices for sale in (b) which are the same exact design. The design seems to have three specific design/mechanical flaws: - the attachment point between cross bar and leg bar in base has inherint wobble, and - ease of adjustment of vertical height (more of a choose at assembly time). - a few tack points of welding vs full seam welded --- Assembly and use experience --- The metal is mid-weight mild steel. The "mild" part plays a significant role in that the fit of parts is quite loose, cross bar to leg bars had a 1/8"-3/16" gap once legs placed into U holder for same. So the key to stability in the base is to tighten the screws to bend the mild steel up against the leg bars to provide stability. A 2nd issue is there is a 1/16-3/32" gap between the top of the leg bars and the cross bar. The good news is you need this slop to get the feet to lay close to flat so you don't have to keep adjusting the feet to maintain 4 point contact on a flat surface. The bad news is that even tightening the cross bolts to near striping failure point is not sufficient to prevent the leg bars from changing position over time of repeated use and thus requiring readjustment of the feet to maintain 4 point contact stability. Am thinking of getting some metal shims to push between the two mating surfaces to help. A design change to include two screws on the top would also solve this in that they would prevent the ability for the leg arms to pivot up/down due to that gap in mating surfaces. I can easily insert 22mil metal sheeting between the cross bar and leg mounting surfaces once it was assembled and all tightened down. And while there are 2 cross through bolts they're attachment tolerances are proving insufficient at preventing up/down pivoting/movement. Adding shims between the mating surfaces should help with this I hope. The rolling feet only have 2 locking members, the instructions says to place them at the same side of the two leg bars -- that is 1 locking wheel on each leg bar. Because of the issue with the 4 rollers having alignment issues over time, even when all four wheels are in contact with floor, one tends to have less weight on it making just 2 locking wheels insufficient for the placement stability I was looking for. Using 4 locking wheels with this design would have been better. Bottom line is that more often than not only one of the locking wheels had sufficient contact weight resulting in unit constantly at risk of pivoting if any brushed up against it. So I've used this 3 times and have had to adjust the wheels 4 times to keep it from wobbling and get near same weight distribution per wheel for stability. Also I've found for my purposes leaving the wheels unlocked has been more helpful than locking them. The wheels are a hard plastic and tend to glide when locked anyway. If I decide to keep using this vs chucking it into the metal recycling bin, replacing the casters with neoprene versions is the 2nd thing I'd do (1st being the metal shims to take out bottom cross bar/leg connection pivot/wobble). The upright is fine, 4 top screws to take out wobble -- applying this same principle to the cross bar and leg bars would fix a lot of sins with this design! -- and a cross through bolt. I'm not convinced the cross bolt actually does anything with regards to stability... I mean the top 4 bolts provided the same amount of connection stability in both axis, so why the cross thru bolt. I appreciate it, it provides a some reflection of thought, but what I expect is that the cross bolt was the only bolt in the original design interation, and the 4 top screws were added later to remove unacceptable wobble on the vertical pole. Which makes sense give the higher the vertical pole is adjusted, the more moment arm you have and the easier it would be for weight (your laptop) at the end of that arm to induce wobble. So the lack of tight tolerances in the base are where fit and finish get knocked down by a serious amount in my personal view. That and the top plate had scuffs and wear from how the shipping container was designed (or they are just from the manf process). One of the other knocks on fit and finish, is the 4 point tack welding of the vertical pole to the mounting plate and ditto for the side arm. Welding completely around the pole to the mounting plate would have given me more confidence in the mechanical wear ability of this design. As it stands, on fatigue crack in one weld point and the other three are likely to not be far behind vis-a-vis time/use basis. The vertical pole is adjusted using two cross through bolts. To adjust you have to manually align the top pole as you raise and lower looking for the holes in the inner pole that is being moved up/down. And at the lowest setting the top bolt goes through the plastic end cap that freely spins, so a 2 stage alignment. To adjust the pole height, undo the bolts and go through the whole procedure again. *If* or when I have to do this in the future, I'll use a permanent silver ink marker for a vertical line through center of each bolt hole on the inner pole and draw horizontal lines around the pole at each inner pole hole to help with ease the issues of finding black on black on black holes to align. Note two bolts are needed to prevent pivot wobbling of the inner pole as tolerances as such there is a lot of slop in between outer and inner poles. Again this is ok for this price point, but was another vote point when I was assembling that "adjustable" height meant at assembly point in time... not at every use. Other issue was the twisty knob placement, pictorial directions are on the left, but I'm right handed so put them on the right ... but this was above the fixed shelf so after one use and finding that they were difficult to get to while the shelf was in use (to re-tighten them), I switched them to the left. This would be more of a problem if the unit was more easily adjustable, but since its a pain to adjust due to having to manually align everything using a flashlight to see when the black hole shows up vs the black pole... well, I won't be adjusting this too often or at all. Attaching the top plate to the pole was a bit of a pain as there are two plastic shims that are slightly rounded to help mechanical connection. I ended up pre-fitting these and attaching them with a bit if silicone, letting that set, before adding the top plate. A temporary method I tried was with using scotch tape to hold them in place while assembling, and then cutting off the pieces afterward. But I had to disassemble to switch the bolts around trying to get the cross through carriage bolts square end to seat better -- but it didn't the top shelf bracket has square holes but the pole where it attaches does not. Another fit/finish or manf issue with both needing these plastic shims and the carriage through bolts not seating as the hole within the pole was not square cut as needed.
