[@DJBennyswift]

Yes I’m going to pick this up real soon!!!

[@parhessler9518]

Got mine late December, Love it :-)

[@digitaldjtips]

Great to hear!

[@DEEJAY2BLACK]

I have the older Reloop hub stand and upgraded to the Odyssey Smart Laptop Stand for the ports. But this might replace that if its as light as you say it is. Great job on putting that info out.

[@digitaldjtips]

Yeah, the older one was good, but this is the new way to do it.

[@DJFlechaCuba]

I bought in December and I love it. 🥰👍🔥

[@parhessler9518]

Me to 🙂

[@djstuc]

We need USB-C PD on all DJ devices moving forward. Game changer on the Reloop Flux.

[@digitaldjtips]

Good point!

[@BeatDropper-zs1wt]

Reelop Always Come With Better Version ✌️

[@HwdFlip]

This looks sweet. I'm probably upgrading to the Reloop Mixon 8 Pro this week; and this seems like a great add-on accessory for my set-up!

[@digitaldjtips]

Yeah, that makes sense. The Mixon is a killer unit.

[@ebnyflyer]

Great Stand and thanks for the tube. Next version with cooling fans please.

[@digitaldjtips]

That's a good idea.

[@funklat1]

Hello Phil. Will the the Denon Prime go recognize the USB hub if we plug a USB stick in there?

[@digitaldjtips]

Don't see why not, it's just a powered USB hub.

[@funklat1]

@digitaldjtips cheers phil

[@hardkore360]

Yep it sure does, I do it all the time. Make sure it's a 3.0 hub and it shouldn't give you any issues.

[@kennyzail6224]

Just purchased it, should be delivered in one day.

[@digitaldjtips]

Enjoy Kenny!

[@antoniemerks1375]

Great! What stands do you use for your cdj’s in the back ?

[@digitaldjtips]

A company called DJStandz out of the UK.

[@rascolibombai1875]

How thin is the base plate? can it slide under a controller?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, much more so than the old one could.

[@djstretchtone9851]

Great comments about USB charging power etc. I was under the impression this was as some say plug-n-play done deal.

[@logisticalstyles]

A laptop stand that also doubles as a docking station. Nice.

[@digitaldjtips]

It is, right?!

[@SocaFirst]

Watching in Grenada in the Caribbean

[@digitaldjtips]

Lucky you! :)

[@SocaFirst]

Excellent

[@RichZigo]

What is the height of the lips on the front that holds the laptop in place?

[@digitaldjtips]

I just looked, about a centimetre.

[@RichZigo]

@@digitaldjtips Thanks

[@dj.alek.sanderkane]

Génial merci

[@brulafulive]

1:42 so far so good….waiting for one feature for you to cover and then its an insta-buy! 😂

[@YumanoidPontifex]

handy for a controller+iPad setup as well, gives you all the extensions you might need - usb disk, usb sound card (my RME babyface pro fs), ethernet...

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes!

[@Positive_Tea]

Freaking awesome

[@ElectronicGreenRoom]

Would be interested in how a Prime GO would look like on the stand. Would it be atable enough to perform on it?

[@digitaldjtips]

I wouldn't want to do that

[@leighinibiza]

One port it hasn’t got, and it’s difficult finding a hub nowadays that has one (probably because of the small number of use cases) is the old 3.5mm audio jack. If you’re using this with a modern iPad where you need to take the audio from the device, split it etc you’ll need a separate dongle. I can’t see the port making a return to ins though, like I say, small number of use cases.

[@digitaldjtips]

You could plug a USB-C-to-3.5mm TRRS into one of this unit's USB-Cs though once your iPad was plugged in to achieve that, which would look pretty neat. Not sure they designed this at all for iPad though.

[@leighinibiza]

@@digitaldjtipsgood shout, hadn’t thought of that. I was looking at a USB C power/3.5mm split dongle into the iPad 1st. Their official images show it in use with iPad but most gear has got the audio out for headphones, very few don’t

[@HartogLeon]

​@@digitaldjtips I tried to connect one of those 'C to 3.5' adapters (the original Apple one) to a 'normal' USB-C multi-hub and it didn't give me audio, so I'm not sure if it will work on the Reloop stand..

[@Osoronnophris]

There are some small mixers that are including them as mp3/phone input... I have one its from ART

[@d-jam.chicago]

I want one. Doesn't seem to be available yet in the USA.

[@digitaldjtips]

Hopefully will soon

[@d-jam.chicago]

@digitaldjtips From what I'm seeing on some websites, they're saying February 1st.

[@alexmelendez6732]

Is any of the usb-c ports can be used for a display out? I have a steamdeck i use a touchscreen monitor with a 7 port usb-c hub with display out on one of the usb- lorts works like a charm but the hub hangs down too much. If any of the usb-c ports has a display out i'd buy this big time

[@digitaldjtips]

I suspect they will, it's just a powered USB hub at the end of the day

[@DajuanJones]

Does it slide under your controller?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

That is one of the craziest things I’ve seen in DJ stands…no idea what sense this makes vs a tight/flexible cable/hub setup 😂 but im all forma for effort…🧮 I did love the crane stand, was sad to seem them go…still have a few on the studio…nice follow up review…stay curious 🖤🤙🏽🔊

[@digitaldjtips]

We're loving it here in our studio

[@edclips]

I am curious how much weight can rest on this, not like putting it through it's paces, but just when typing quick. Also where the hell are people getting them? I can't find it anywhere.

[@digitaldjtips]

For typing etc it's fine, it can take a lot of weight

[@GavFYI]

Can the USB-C ports support a DisplayPort monitor, instead of using the HDMI port, do you know?

[@digitaldjtips]

I would assume that it can, seeing as they are behaving just like any other USB hub that's powered and connected to a computer. But if it's something that's vital for you, then it's worth checking before buying.

[@djxcel23]

Price ?

[@digitaldjtips]

All pricing is in the written review

[@critchee]

Looks great. Inhave the crane which I retired to my home when I purchased the Magma stand which was lighter and more compact. But a little more fiddly. Be interesting to see weight comparison and size when folded compared to magma. Give it a run to see how portable it is

[@digitaldjtips]

I'm gonna guess lighter. It's tiny when folded, too

[@TheAndyroo770]

Hagibis, Cabletime and Blueendless make similar stand hubs for iPad users. I use a magnetic ipad stand and have a fledging hubble case attached for the additional ports. Keeps things tidy.

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for the info.

[@123fourfivesix-g4i]

Very nice although there are several laptop/ipad stands on Amazon that have hubs integrated into them in some form or another in various different prices.

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

nice

[@TuffKaya]

See the sincere enthusiasm for a well designed product that serves a purpose? That's how little we really care about groundbreaking stem groove circuits shenanigans at the end of the day.

[@digitaldjtips]

Not everyone has to love everything :)

[@tawmifm]

IMO it really should have at least 3 USB-A ports... but ideally 5. The main use case I see for this in the club is for DJs and venues that want to use decks and a mixer with their laptop in HID mode... but having to rely on currently uncommon B to C cables to do that is not ideal. Seems like a higher priority to me than SD cards >>

[@digitaldjtips]

The old one had 4, I guess they think they're on the way out. Those cables you mention are the answer though, Amazon is the place

[@mrniceofmass]

I grabbed this last week and as a hub, it is great but as a stand, it didn't work for me. It is too short (7 inches tall) so when I put it in my flight case with a Performer, the laptop was literally touching the controller. I removed the base and laptop plates and I am using the hub with my old stand (13 inches).

[@digitaldjtips]

I don't understand how it can be too short. But I suppose if your flight case is very big, I get it. And that's in the U mode, not the Z mode, right?

[@zerozero7004]

Nice idea but the cable management is a sloppy mess. They should put the hub of connections at the base and have a hollow channel up the main tube with a USBC jumper to the laptop for connectivity. Fix that and it’s a keeper.

[@digitaldjtips]

not sure that'd be a "fix" - too fiddly for setting up in clubs etc.

[@mark_spit7839]

The only thing missing is a built-in fan for the laptop.

[@digitaldjtips]

That would be funny!

[@mark_spit7839]

I meant a fan to keep the laptop cool lol

[@MattLaffey]

imagine if Reloop had worked Vesa mounting holes into the design so it could also be mounted onto that arm

[@leighinibiza]

Odyssey make a stand hub but I think it’s more like Reloop’s original one. I have the original Reloop original and always thought it lacked the sturdiness I wanted. I may invest in the new one though for all the improvements

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for sharing Leigh.

[@RenatoHarripaul1217]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@brymills]

Can’t help thinking that this has a significant price hike by branding it as DJ gear. It looks like something I’d find really useful for my WFH setup, just not for that price.

[@digitaldjtips]

Not sure why that would be the case, also I don't think they massively brand it as DJ gear, although obviously we're going to review it as such

[@djmattkv6745]

nitpicking here, but it would be nice if the cable connections were at the front of it instead of the side, so that they are out of sight to the public when performing

[@digitaldjtips]

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure how they design that in. It looks pretty neat as it is.

[@lordcarloshere]

The USB hub in my Reloop Stand Hub broke shortly after 2 years :( And the stand was always a tiny bit crooked, it would wobble a bit around. Had to add a bit more padding under one feet to fix that. Shite quality.

[@digitaldjtips]

Never had any problem with our 1st gen, and this one is certainly well made by all appearances.

[@csl750]

Very nice actually... but it's not new... there a many other laptop stands out they with built in hubs... this does offer a very rich variety of ports... I'd get one just for my work laptop.

[@digitaldjtips]

I've never seen one! thanks for the info.

[@djpatch6754]

Anybody prefer the look of the old one?

[@digitaldjtips]

I have no problem with the looks of the old one, but I much prefer this one. It's much neater, more modern, smaller, and lighter.

[@buhrmitv]

Don't even need to be a DJ to like this stand

[@digitaldjtips]

No, we agree. It's pretty neat, whatever.

[@tjsongman]

The original wouldn't charge my 16 Inch MacBook Pro. 😢 Does this one have enough juice? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@digitaldjtips]

Best to check the specs on their site.

[@icsux]

Very cool stand but 169 EUR !? I mean a good stand from Gravity or Hercules and a tucked Mokin HUB are less that 50% of Reloop Stand Hub..

[@digitaldjtips]

It's definitely a luxury purchase.

[@bakoguy5330]

I always find it funny that people see all the these plugs and don’t understand how they work, is it a thunderbolt three or four? How many watts is the input and output, do the USB have power too for like the Phase units and so on. I wish these companies would stop trying to make an item that is for everyone and just make a pro unit that is actually pro and sell it! Sure not everyone will buy it, but if you make a great product that is worth it and will last, you’ll gain a few high quality of customer!

[@digitaldjtips]

All the specs are on their site.

[@Corruptness]

That thing's gonna snap over time twisting it left n right

[@digitaldjtips]

Don't think so - it's designed to be rotated left and right. Seems pretty solid to us.

[@jamescater66]

Those cables sticking out the side are hideous. I would prefer a single cord to the laptop and a neat hub on the desk or even tucked away from sight

[@digitaldjtips]

Well, we think it's quite neat, but hey - each to their own.

[@SherwinBajao]

I don't like the built-in USB hub because tec evolves and it might fail.

[@dsquareddan]

wish the HDMI did 4k@60hz. Lot's of VJs out there, not just DJs. I plug into video processors for massive LED walls at shows all the time that need to be 4k60. Also really annoying you didn't even mention the price only told everyone to go to your website to see that. I'm definitely not going to give your website clicks now.

[@digitaldjtips]

Hear what you're saying about the HDMI. It's not something that we use here, so we wouldn't have picked up on that. And if you prefer not to click through to find the current prices on our website, that's absolutely fine. We do it that way because prices change and we can keep them updated. Totally get it - thanks for watching the video.

[@hardkore360]

The best stand/hub, is NO stand/ hub. Its 2025, we need more standalone systems to ditch the damn laptop. 😂😂😂

[@digitaldjtips]

Good to have a choice though, and one of the problems with some standalone systems is that the screen's too far away from you and too small, so it would actually be quite nice if you could have a pop-up screen that you could then position in front of you!

[@markstephenson9280]

£150 for a laptop stand lol. Get a stand for £12 and a usb hub for another £5

[@digitaldjtips]

Yep, there are options in most things in life at most price points - that's for certain.

[@anonymousmc7727]

$179.00😂😂😂 fo
