It's simply 2 pull-through cross connectors merged with an arca-swiss plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of my favorite ways to DJ and make music is outdoors. When I'm casually DJing somewhere, it gets too uncomfortable, too quick, especially for longer sets, and often it's not possible to find a nice, tall table to arrange my setup at a park or a beach. I have a really portable DJ setup which I put together for this specific purpose, and carrying along a table is not convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been thinking about a way to have a very portable solution which I can put in a backpack with the rest of my setup, and will save me from back pain and inconvenience, so I thought, why not put the whole thing on a tripod? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is why I started playing around with a arca-swiss adapted \"table-top\" that I can pick up and lock on the tripod, to host my mini DJ controller. However, I wanted to have at least 30 cm wide, so it had to be foldable, which comes with more complexity. Instead, I focused on modularity, so I can pick up a few pieces and put together to create the table top. Then again, that didn't feel right. So that's why I decided to build it on Homeracker, which is a fantastic modular racking system which I use and trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHomeRacker\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProbably needs no introduction but HomeRacker is a brilliant, robust, modular racking system created by \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/@kellerlab\"\u003eKellerLab | Home - MakerWorld\u003c\/a\u003e, and open sourced. Every piece is very intuitive and easy to print and assemble, and I trust the integrity, since I have been building shelves with it. The best part is that you can use the generators to create the exact dimensions you need, which is also the reason why I went with this remix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMy Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BoM of the setup you can see in the photos:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArca-swiss pull-through connecter mod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11x 17 Single supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x standard or feed corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6x pull-through T connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x 17*6 shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x 17*3 shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith these items I can have 56*29 cm table top on my K\u0026amp;F tripod. Which is enough space to host a DDJ FLX4 or Hercules Control Mix Ultra controller (or any other entry level controller), or a groovebox and a 37 key midi keyboard. You can adjust the dimensions to your needs but I wouldn't exceed these dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts I used can be generated in respective generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomeRacker Core\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomeRacker Shelves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #E14747\"\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not attempt this unless you fully trust your tripod and ball head or you have heavy and expensive equipment. Entire point of this build is to have a light, modular, casual outdoor setup, not to bang on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI have a K\u0026amp;F tripod which is already sturdy enough and rated for quite a bit of weight. HomeRacker is very strong and sturdy, as well as the arca-swiss mod I made. Weakest point would always be your tripod and ball head. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's beneficial to build alongside the long axis of arca-swiss plate. That way it reduces potential wobbles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not build wider and taller than you need. The wider it is, the wobbly and unstable it gets, and it will add more leverage to bend your ball head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou might not need to use shelves at all, but I think it adds to the stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not forget to add weight to your tripod, like I did with a speaker in the photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll credit goes to \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/@kellerlab\"\u003eKellerLab | Home - MakerWorld\u003c\/a\u003e for this incredible and thought-through system for designing and open-sourcing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cboostme\u003e\u003cboosttitle\u003eBoost Me\u003c\/boosttitle\u003e\u003cboostcontent\u003eIf you like my work, you can boost me for free.
