Every question, answered.

It's built for exactly that kind of surface — hard, flat, and not going anywhere. The wide base spreads the contact so bass can't walk it toward the mixer, and the fins keep gripping through elbow reaches and quick handoffs, settling the drink back down instead of letting it slide.

That's the exact failure this stops. A can's own base is small enough for a sub to walk it toward the edge over a set; the wide flexible base spreads the contact so the same vibration has to move something far bigger, and the fins hold the drink from the sides the whole time.

The base decides it, not the rim — 2 to 3 inches across settles in, and the 40 oz Stanley clears it easily. A handled mug is the one exception: its handle sits exactly where a fin needs to close, so it doesn't make the cut.

No — it doesn't clamp to anything. It sits directly on the counter, the folding table, or the desk, so it works wherever the rig is set up, not just wherever there's a pole to mount to.

It fixes the reason the rule existed — the drink finally has somewhere to stand that isn't the same slab as the fader bank. It resists tipping and settles back when it's bumped; it's still an open container, so a direct hit from a thrown drink is still a direct hit.

Only the DJ's own drink lives in this — it can't watch a guest's glass parked by the laptop. What it does is take the DJ's cup out of the fader-bank lottery, which is one less drink in the danger zone during a changeover.

Yes. It's one flat piece of flexible material, no hardware, no stand — it packs flat with the rest of the setup and comes out in a second.

Rinse it or run it through the dishwasher. It's one piece of material with nothing to take apart, unlike a fader.

It's called the Steadi, molded in small runs in Orange, California by Steadi Labs — veteran-founded and patent pending. Every order ships free from steadilabs.com, with 30 days to change your mind.

Those only help if your specific case or stand happens to have one, and even then it's usually a single flat shelf with no grip — a drink can still slide off during a bump, just from a slightly more convenient spot. This works the same way wherever you set it down, without depending on your case or stand model having built one in.

One per drink is the simple answer — most DJs run a single one for their own cup, set on whatever open counter is closest. For a B2B set or a home desk shared with a second controller, a second one keeps a co-DJ's or a guest's drink off the same narrow strip of counter instead of crowding one spot.

It's one piece of flexible material with no hinges or hardware to fatigue, so the fold-and-unfold cycle between gigs isn't a stress point the way it would be for something with moving parts. The fins are built to flex open and closed repeatedly — that's the same motion that grips a can — not to hold one fixed shape, so regular use is what they're designed around, not what wears them out.

It's solid, injection-molded material with no metal and no adhesive to corrode or soften, so ordinary temperature swings between a car trunk and a venue aren't a durability concern the way they would be for something with hardware. Extreme heat sources like an oven or a sauna haven't been tested, and no claim is made there.

Yes, dishwasher-safe, top or bottom rack. The fins are molded from the same flexible material as the base rather than a separate piece glued on, so repeated wash cycles don't loosen their grip the way an adhesive pad or a coated finish would wear down over time.

It solves a problem every working or hobbyist DJ recognizes on sight — a counter with no room for a drink — without needing to know their gear brand, deck model, or setup. It packs flat enough to fit in a stocking or tuck in alongside any other gig-bag accessory.

A standard 16 oz pint glass has a base around 2.4 inches, well inside the range. A regular-mouth 16 oz Mason jar runs closer to 3.4 inches at the base — past the fins' 3.15-inch flex ceiling, so that's an honest no. For a wedding signature drink in a jar, a rocks glass or a squat tumbler in the 2-to-3-inch range is the safer bet.

Yes. A Yeti Rambler 20 or 30 oz tumbler has about a 2.75-inch base, comfortably inside the range. An Owala FreeSip 24 oz runs about 3.12 inches — a snug fit at the flex ceiling, the same way the Stanley 40 oz H2.0 FlowState Quencher (3.1 inches) and the Stanley 30 oz (3.15 inches) seat with a push instead of dropping straight in.

Yes — those are exactly the uneven, moving surfaces the wide base is built for. A coffin case lid is ribbed and rarely level; because the base doesn't need one flat mounting point the way a clamp does, it settles across the high points instead of teetering on two or three of them the way a can does on its own narrow base.
