We also use a stand for laptops/notebooks,
because we mix ourselves from the stage
unfortunately I can’t post a link here.
A&H blocks it for me, I don’t know why. whatever.
I hope you can see all the information you need in the picture.
with this stand you can adjust the angle of the support.
I find it very comfortable on stage to be able to tilt the CQ18T the way I like.
This may not be a solution that works for you but this is how I run my CQ-18T from the stage and keep the footprint low. Essentially, I bought a 2nd tier for my keyboard X-stand, then made a custom shelf (1/4" birch plywood painted matte black). The shelf is tie wrapped to the stand tier but the CQ-18T is held in by gravity (I have ~1" holes that line up with the rubber feet so it can’t slide around, and I have a 3.5" hole in the middle where the fan is located for ventilation). Here are a couple of pics.
You probably already got something for it but here’s what I’ve been using for mine. I also mix from the stage.

It think it may be more stable than a laptop stand and also leaves me some shelf space to put stuff on. I usually put my iPad on it right next to the mixer. This gives me the ability to have two menu screens open at any time.
Looks like a terrific combo, and agreed: probably more stable than a tripod type stand. I added a link below to what I finally went with.
FWIW… I also started a new YT channel called “Sound From Stage” (no videos yet, lol) for “ridealongs with rationale” as we setup at various local venues.
looks like a great solution… now we just need a keyboard player who can help w/ sound too LOL !!!
