Pulse PLS00318 Adjustable Stand for Laptop/Projector - Black

I give frequent presentations to quite large audiences. I needed a projector stand which wasn't too high, but which also had a tilting mechanism to help reduce the distortion of the splaying edges of an image projected onto a large screen from a projector raised on its own front feet. Yes, I know that almost all modern projectors have Keystone Correction, but this is usually limited to 30 degrees maximum, and when an image is projected upwards from a low angle, then even that correction might not be enough. Why do I want a lowish height and a tilting tray? Well, when the projector is on a higher stand (or something improvised like an upturned box on a table top) and there's a large audience stretching 8-10 rows behind it, then some of those sitting close to the centre line of the projected image have their view obstructed by the projector and stand, so the answer is usually to raise the screen height. This particular stand meets all my needs, even at its lowest setting. The projector has a solid platform and the tilting mechanism works well, giving a proper rectangle to the projected image. There is a reasonable amount of height adjustment, and it has a decent amount of stability. The lip round the edge of the tray has a thin foam cushion on the inside vertical edge, and serves as a handy stop for the projector feet when the tray is tilted upwards. It won't offer full protection in the event of a serious collision (e.g. if someone blunders into the stand), but it does a decent job. If you want further security, you could look at things like long velcro strips wrapped round the tray and projector, but keep them away from projector heat sources! You could take the tray off when you store the stand, but I find it such a faff every time that I just tilt the tray to be flat to the centre column and store it like that. The tripod feet do of course close up. It could certainly act as a stand for a 15.6" laptop, though there would be no room to use a standard mouse or even a trackball model. If you have a larger laptop, that might pose a problem - check its dimensions against those quoted for the tray. If things like tray size and ultimate stability are your key concerns, then you might need to look elsewhere - and expect to pay a lot more. For what I needed, I can recommend this model with a clear conscience. It's good value and quite well made. I certainly wouldn't be without it.

Helpful to use as laptop stand. Height adjustable. Portable, lightweight and sturdy.

This item offers good functionality as a laptop stand and I also use it for my teleprompter. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to sit straight rather than it being sloped. If I could then it would also work well as a projector stand. This potentially is something that I'm doing wrong as this is the big flaw in the item. The instructions are very poor and there's one piece to put this together that is pretty difficult. You may notice the video review of someone on this item saying it was faulty or she was missing a piece. She wasn't, it's just not clear or easy to put together. Once it is together, it's easy to adjust the height and it's got quite a bit of weight to it which will make it secure. It does fold down easily but it's not the smallest item to store away. Overall it's done what I needed and so it's decent value for money

Good piece of kit. Keeps projector stable

I bought the Pulse PLS00318 adjustable stand to make presenting with a laptop a bit more flexible, and it’s turned out to be far more useful than I expected. The height adjustment gives a good range, so I can easily set it low when I’m seated or raise it up when presenting, without having to balance equipment on tables or boxes. Once set, it stays where it should and feels reassuringly solid for everyday use. One of the standout features for me is the tripod stand on the base. It makes setup quick and stable on different floor surfaces, and I don’t have to worry about it tipping over when someone walks past. At the same time, the tripod folds away neatly, so the whole stand is easy to move from room to room or pack away when not in use. I’ve found it light enough to carry without effort, but still sturdy enough to hold my equipment confidently! The platform itself is a good size and the tilt adjustment really helps get the viewing angle right. Overall, it feels like a well-thought-out design that focuses on practicality rather than unnecessary extras. It also represents very good value, especially when compared to other brands who force you to set up a large base (often with wheels or a bulky stand) - I think this is a fantastic choice! There are a couple of minor downsides worth mentioning. When extended to its absolute maximum height, it can feel a little less rigid, so I tend to keep it slightly lower for the best stability. The tilt adjustment can also take a moment to fine-tune until you get used to it. Neither of these have been deal-breakers for me. All things considered, this is a simple, reliable adjustable stand that does exactly what it promises. The combination of adjustability, portability and the very convenient tripod base makes it something I’d happily recommend and continue using regularly.

Does job but doesn’t fold flat for storage

Really good, easy to assemble. Just remember to give the screw fixing the top platform tray a good bang and it will come out so that you can fit the tray in place. Overall easy to assemble with clear instructions. Sturdy and easy enough to store standing up in a corner of the room with the tray flat. Really happy, does what it says on the tin.

very good value

The best stand 🤗

Esta base es totalmente estable a la hora de mantener un proyecto de dimensiones grandes. Yo lo he probado con un Excelvan CL720D y lo aguanta sin problema alguno. En relación calidad/precio no lo hay mejor por lo que se trata de una compra totalmente recomendada. Se recoge al completo quedándose como un bastón por lo que su transporte es muy bueno. Puede regularse la altura siendo de muchísima utilidad a la hora de poder "casarlo" con la pantalla de proyección. En definitiva una gran base a precio muy reducido y que cumple igual de bien que las otras que son 5 veces mas caras.

Handig om een diaprojector op te zetten .

Au vu de certains commentaires , Je m'attendais a un truc branlant et tordu ..., mais je dois dire que je suis plutôt satisfait , c'est pas d'une extrême solidité , mais ça fait le job et c'est relativement stable Pour le montage, a part a avoir 2 mains gauches, il n'y a rien de compliqué , seul le plateau doit être fixé au pied. Pour l' assembler , il faut complètement retirer la vis transversale et ensuite la remettre en incluant le plateau . Le système permet par le biais d'un arc de cercle , une inclinaison réglable vers le haut du plateau , il faut donc positionner le plateau bien a l'horizontal et dans le bon sens ( c'est quand c'est aligné avec les trous) et ensuite faire passer la vis a travers l'ensemble. Le seul point faible, comme souligné dans un autre commentaire , c'est le systeme de serrage pour régler la hauteur , ça ne bloque pas suffisamment le tube, même en serrant assez fort la vis , le plateau descend lorsque l'on appuie dessus , je vais donc pour ma part , mettre un colliers de serrage métallique (de type plomberie) pour sécuriser un peu plus.

Ottimo supporto. Una volta presa confidenza con le regolazioni, si ha la sensazione di praticità e stabilità. Consigliato
