Originally I bought the Quik Lok LPH-X laptop holder that would connect to my X stand.....but when I got it home it was built great BUT way too heavy
....actually it was heavier then the x stand itself!!
...my first thought was to try to make it lighter somehow
.....
out comes my Hack Saw and being I didn't need that little slide out mouse shelf I would cut it off being it was riveted on! After that operation it didn't really take off much weight as the heavy gauge metal of the entire stand is just too much for a portable use......it would be great if you didn't have to move around lets say in a studio situation etc...well after 10 or so gigs I had enough and the search was on for another version of a portable lightweight laptop stand.

so I measured the size of the Quik Lok LT holder and had it Cut to the same size and length, I probably cut off 4" all around and 2" off the bottom lip in total, filled the edges also........
I also trimmed the bottom Lip to 1/2" to avoid it slipping down. the operation was a big success and now with a little black spray paint I have a very kool portable very
LIGHTWEIGHT laptop stand to use any way & in any position I choose at 1/4 of the weight Yea!.
