Hya flatliners they look ok, like the idea of the top folding to a tube.
As far as using a table I reckoned you couldn't get better or simpler than a decent keyboard stand with a ply top but that is a good contender purely on how it packs away.

How much are they?

I'd want it to set itself up for that....

It's a folding table. Save your money & get an Ultimax

yes but what it packs down to and it would fit in your transport neatly

There is that, but what sort of frontage would you use for it? That sort of price for a folding table seems rather excessive. Are you really that tight for space in your vehicle?

I use one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LONG-FOLDING-ALLOY-CAMPING-CARAVAN-DINNING-TABLE-261_W0QQitemZ150270194394QQihZ005QQcategoryZ16038Q QcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 which is less than a third of the price of the Road Ready one.

Still that was in 1980-something and I was only a nipper :p

Would you seriously put a load of valuable DJ equipment on THAT???????????

The price tells me everything:eek:

Might be ok for a few coffe cups and plates.:rolleyes:

nah wouldnt even risk it for a case of cd's. You can buy a dj stand pretty cheap without the overhead bit. Its pretty robust and folds down just as small as that.

Not in a million years!

It's a picnic table, which means it's designed for a few plates & cups.

The spec doesn't give the weight it holds...which doesn't surprise me!

And I'd want to be able to hang a lot of lights off it! Steve's right, an Ultimax is cheaper, stronger, and has an overhead bar. The only advantage this one offers is speed.

You're still only a nipper. :p

I don't like it. It seems strong (in the video holding 2 subs & 2 tops) but also looks like it could be knocked over easily.

Also, I'd have nowhere to put my amp.

takes me about 1 1/2 mins to put my giraffe one up. If you put your mind to it. then 3 mins.

I take with me a 6in tall 24 bottle crate (minus bottles) which I stick my 6 space amp rack on (3 amps)
Then I put one of my hefty cable bins on that with a nice white cloth tablecloth over it then my "decks" on top of that.
The only extra is the crate. :D :D :D :D
