You can tell Chucky's on the mainland now. He's replaced what would have been girl pics with gear pics.

 

[djsarge]

Not what she said.

Is that speaker an EON?

 

[Chuck The DJ]

No, it's a knock off made by Pyle, I got it for $90.00

 

[ahoustondj]

Do you mean Cocktail or Ceremony? Isn't cocktail time in the Ballroom where all the main events takes place? Why would you need that system there?

Chuck, that system looks fantastic. You're giving me some new ideas.

 

[dunlopj]

Chuck, please provide details on the laptop shelf on the tripod.

 

[Chuck The DJ]

There are times when I have 2 or even 3 systems to set up... ceremony in one place, they move to another for cocktails and then inside for dinner/dancing,,, at this event it was just the last two for me as the ceremony had live music.

The laptop is a "Acer Netbook" a Costco special, I have VDJ on it and a couple of music folders, background, jazz and a dance one just in case.... I just come out of the headphone jack....

That is a cool / small set-up. I too would like to know what you used for the shelf?

I don't know about that.... $145 to hold a laptop is just stupid. I could make something totally respectable for $15.

I had a buddy make mine,,,,, this is a Face Book link to pics of the making

wonder if Dan is watching?

 

[ittigger]

Dang it Chucky! You just ruined it!

Yep it is not hard to make at all. A metal mesh shelf (to keep it cool), Two C Clamps in the back to keep it from swiveling or weld it to the C Clamp and viola, it is done.

 

[Chuck The DJ]

I know everyone has a welder! LOL and not sure how you would put 2 c-clamps back there.... but yeah,,,,

 

[DJ SVO]

I have access to one as well as a carpenter I had fun putting the roll cage in the red Stang

 

[prodjay]

Thanks Chuck, I have seen the light!!!! I can do that now.

Easy. Use your imagination. Flat piece of metal. preferably a mesh shelf. A L Bracket, bottom part with holes to secure the shelf, vertical part with two holes to accept the two C Clamps!. You can use one but you will have to use "star" washers to secure the nut & Bolt to keep it from swiveling downwards. Weld or two Clamps is more secure.
