    Default For Those Of You With Laptops

    What do you normally sit your laptop on? I normally sit it on the couch beside me while camming, but am thinking of a table or something to raise the height. I want to get a little more prepared after a camming hiatus.

    I went to my local Walmart and bought this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...Black/17479996

    It says it's out of stock online but they may still have them or something similar in stores.

    Mine sits on a cooling platform, which sits on my desk. The raised incline makes it a LOT easier to type.

    ^^^ This, and also a rolling cart. I also use a tray (the one with the legs that can be raised or lowered).You know, the kind that people use to eat in bed.
    Depends on which part of my place I'm camming from, and If I'm doing shows on my(ouch my back) bed.

    Wait for it. I put my laptop on a cooling fan, that sits on a random box, that sits on my broken desk's hutch in my office. Ghetto but I love the height, bb!

    I got my small rolling desk for $19.99 at Ollie's. I like the height. Well, I did not use the mini cylinder things to raise the top, so I can keep the height. Check Ollie's if your town got one.

    My bed... I cam from bed most of the time though. I attach my webcam to my foot board which is slightly raised so it all works out. If I decide to dance i move my cam to my laptop (it's reattachable) and turn it to the organized corner of my room.

    I use a padded lapdesk, and I love it:

    http://www.amazon.com/LapGear-48302-...167866&sr=1-46

    It does a pretty good job keeping my laptop cool, so I just set it down on my bed. It's perfect for all kinds of computer work while laying in bed/on the couch, too.

    I have a laptop but I don't use it for camming. I use a desktop but I have my keyboard, monitor, microphone, and mouse on this table....

Here's one of their adjustable tables with wheels. I hate all the melt but I think it will get the job done.

    i sit on the floor and put the laptop on the box. or i lay on the bed and use only the boxes lid underneath the laptop to stop it getting 2 hot.

    i put my clothes and wig inside the box after im done.

    Ladies, I like the rolling desk, idea! I will be able to cam any and everywhere instead of feeling cramped in my office. The only thing I'd have to do is buy a longer ethernet chord.

    My plastic box glides around easily I have my laptop on the plastic box in front of me so I can keep busy between shows editing clips etc, and I cam from my partner's laptop on the glass table to the side. The plastic box easily slides forward when a show starts.

    They have some really pretty laptop stands at Ikea. I thought of getting myself one, but then I decided I needed something more versatile and with a bigger working surface, so got their smallest Micke desk http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60221616/. It's lightweight and very easy to move around, so I just carry it from the bedroom to my camming room and back; and the drawer can be used to store toys or other things you may need.

    I used this one when I first started. Its portable, so I can move around in my room. And when I wanted to move into another room, I just smiply unplugged, moved, and then re plugged.

    http://www.overstock.com/Office-Supp...8/product.html
    But then I got smarter and bought this. It's awesome! I put my laptop and camera on the top. I have the desk lamps that clip onto wherever. I use the keyboard tray for my notebook, phone, remote for cam, mouse, etc. And I put most of my dildos and toys on the second shelf for easy access. The bottom shelf I put the containers where I store my dildos and toys when I'm not camming. Also, I put my wipes, oil, towels, and other supplies there too. It's my all-in-one camming cart! Plus it makes for easier moving. I plug my lights, camera, everything up to the cart, which makes it easy to move into another room WHILE I'm camming since it has a 15ft cord! Bath shows, kitchen shows, voyeur became soooooo much easier when I got this!

    Currently I have my laptop hooked up to my bedroom tv and just do shows from there usually. But I still have my cart when I want to become mobile again!

    I had previously purchased that mainstays black adjustable cart from walmart and it did not last very long... I have a 17.3" laptop with a cooling pad and after a few months, the part that held my laptop started to sag and eventually actually BROKE off. I dont know if my laptop + my cooling pad was just too heavy for it or what, but it's not very heavy duty, and typing on it did make it rock up and down, which if I was typing on another site in the background, would make my cam bounce around. Theres some great ideas here, though!

    If the laptop isn't on my desk I use the cooling pad and one of those TV dinner tray stands. TV tray is just the right size but its important to find one that doesn't knock over easily.
