Operate the Hercules DJcontrol Mix while standing, lying down or sitting - no matter when, no matter where.
Let this little boomerang, made specifically for the Hercules DJcontrol mixer, be your partner in crime (criminally good music).
Attach the adapter to the tripod or surface of your choice and clamp the plate onto the adapter. Add the mixer and the phone holder, and you are ready to go.
And if the provided adapters don't fulfill your needs, just grab a template model and remix a fitting piece :)

Assembly (tripod adapter)
Warning
Be careful handling hot stuff and don't accidentally touch the hot iron.
Don't assemble nearby kinds due to unhealthy fumes released by the molten plastic.
Don't assemble nearby flammable objects and materials.
Components
Threaded insert 1/4 inch, ~7mm outer diameter (specific female camera thread). And if you have another brand/size, just cut a cylindrical hole in the slicer yourself.
(Assembly) Soldering iron or wood engraving iron (there are multiple ways to do this)
Heat up your soldering iron with an old tip (could get in contact with the plastic).
Put the insert in the bottom hole.
Press the tip in the hole until it is about two millimeters behind the bottom surface.
Turn off your soldering iron, let everything cool down
Don't be like me, I tried it without a tip and slipped off at the end. Take your time. (my tip was too thin and long)
