The maker of the Happie Amp is now going to make a busker's table if enough people sign up to make it worthwhile.
I've been making due with a makeshift one, but I think this will work well! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/341......se-and-s |

Looks pretty nice. Not wild about the look of the suitcase sitting on top of the cloth, but then again it's removable. And it would have been handy to include rails on the suitcase top to keep balls from rolling off, but all in all it looks like a practical and durable solution. The built-in servante is nice, and the price is reasonable.

I always love Brian's work. I agree with the suggested rails on the briefcase and might also suggest a wrap around velvet skirting to block the briefcase and still hide the servante. You've got me thinking though.

The velvet skirting is a seperate piece and could be put over the case instead of under but then you limit your access to the inside. I have been using it for about a year and it works very nicely. I can see what you mean about the rails but I wonder how high they would have to be? If you are doing 2.5" sponge balls outdoors the thing would have to look like a cage fight arena. :o)

Brian,
Does the table top thread mount to the tripod base or is there a quick release? Do you have a clean photo of the setup from the front audience view? Great idea on the magnet anchors for the case. Dan. |

Hmm, looks like a $25 briefcase and a $20 camera tripod with some standard mounts fitted to it.
Good luck with it. |

GodOfCards - the thing is, a $25 briefcase might well look, but not perform or last, like a much more expensive one that is better built. It's hard to tell from the video exactly how "quality" this briefcase is, so I'm going on the reputation of the builder here, which is good. And a $25 briefcase is not going to have the built-in close-up pad on top. I also like the apparent heft of the plate that makes up the table - it looks as though it is built to hold more weight, and not just in the center, than similar flat tables that are sold for laptops and such. Then you also get the drape, the servante, and the fact that the table top is cut to the same size as the briefcase, which wisely has magnetic feet to secure everything together. At $200, I think this compares nicely with other options on the market, and there's no other package out there quite like this one.

I'm guessing that when you add up all of the "slight" modifications you refer to, not to mention the free shipping for a heavy item in the USA, purchasers will be getting full value for their money.

Brian's ongoing post sale support with his products has always been exceptional. I hope this new release is no different. For the record, I have no affiliation with Brian or his company in any way other than as a UCC customer.

Been using exactly this type of setup for over 5 years now... and it didn't cost me $300.

It takes more time than many people think to produce an item even if you are just "slightly modifying" it, and they're not doing it as a personal favor to you so they need to make it worthwhile or why even bother with it. You are naive if you think that that is an unreasonable mark-up, and especially if shipping were to be included. |

Over half way to the funding goal! Spread the word. This looks like a project worth funding.

If I didn't already have something that works well for me, I would probably go for it.
I am getting so tired of slitting the throats of people who say that I am a violent psychopath.

The problem is the same- They don't know what goes into that "hour". Anyone here who saw the case at a convention I brought it to? Many people got to touch it in person. |
