What about jamming standing up in the studio?

I guess a few people play their gear (jam) standing up with rising tables, jaspers racks and such. My main aim though is to jam standing up but with my gear mostly around chest and eye level (I know, higher than usual I guess - most people bend a little over their gear, but I'd like to do that as little as possible and try this eye-level approach as I feel it is more comfortable and I like to dance and move around as I make music - minimal techno and such).

I don't have much gear, rocking a small eurorack case with some modules (wooden doepfer LC6), a monotribe, mfb522, then the laptop (for sequencing and multitrack processing and recording), some controllers (midifighter twister, launchpad, small keyboard) and sometimes adding an iPad as controller, synth or sequencer. Planning on adding model samples and maybe starting another eurorqck (2x104hp) slowly or maybe one more analog desktop synth.

If anyone has done/tried such a thing what were your solutions/ideas? I guess if you have a big wall of modular synths this is easy :)

Techno/synth jamming standing up - best setup?

Hi!

I would like to set up my gear so I could stand up while jamming/dancing and playing my equipment. I have a Doepfer A-100 LC6 eurorack case, plus some desktop synths/drum machine (mfb522, monotribe, behringer cat, and may get others), a laptop, and some midi controllers (irig 37-key keyboard + launchpad pro mk3 + midi fighter twister). I would like to jam/play with all this standing up without crouching/bending too much or not at all.

I thought of getting a Jaspers KR200 (I am 1,87m or so), and this could work, but I am afraid the vertical edge stoppers at the end of the holders in these stands are not high enough to hold the eurorack case and synths securely, especially because I would like to have them at a wide angle, almost vertical, so I could look at and interact with the panels easily, looking more or less straight at them (not bending neck too much).

I could put some aluminium shelves as well on the stand holders (from Jaspers or Black Panther) but I think they have the short edges/lips as well.

Any ideas/suggestions/tips on how I could achieve this setup? I like the Jaspers stands (they also have rollers so you could move the setup and jam wherever in the room!) but this seems to be a problem for my idea. Thanks!
