Nifty Accessories Nifty HT Desk Stand

This is a great desk stand for HT radios. Very heavy base so that it does not tip over. Multiple size adjustments so that it is appropriate for all size HTs.

Just what I was looking for to park the handhelds (and mobile control heads) while they're in the shack. Simple to put together and good materials! Base is heavy so there is zero chance of tip-over. Nice product. Will be ordering more.

This is a nice stand albeit it maybe a bit expensive. Great way to double up your HT for field and shack work. I use it to supplement the handful of mobile radios I employ in my shack for EmComm. I paid $40 for it which seems a bit expensive to me but I might be a bit more price conscious on this point than somebody that doesn't have all the VHF/UHF radios that I have. Despite that, I like it. It is well made.The weighted base and rubber feet anchor it well even on my glass desktop. There are various assembly options that allow one to alter the distance between the "shelf" the HT sits on and HT clip. Unfortunately, my Kenwood D72 is a bit longer than all the options. For the price I would like to see additional options because it would hold my Kenwood more securely but it's still very usable.

This is a kit, not an assembled stand. However, it's most apropos for Ham Radio in that you get to assemble it and customize the fit for your radio and also get to decide on including things like the cable clip and brand sticker. The kit includes the metal base (1/4 inch thick powder coated steel) the backplate and shelf, which are a polycarbonate material, rubber feet, a cable management clip, and the machine screws. Assembly takes about five minutes. Have your HT on-hand to select the correct holes for the shelf position. I decided to put the branding sticker on the bottom, but I don't think they will mind... My ICOM ID-52A fits nicely on the stand and rests at the perfect angle for viewing while seated at a deck. There is some shimmy in the backplate from the weight of the ID-52A, so perhaps the polycarbonate could be thicker to reduce that flex. Not sure if I'll use the cable clamp but I attached it anyway (uses something like 3m VHB foam tape). Overall I like it and think they are making a decent profit considering the edges of the polycarbonate are not sanded or buffed and only milled and hot-formed to shape. The other option I tried was an extra ICOM charging base but that holds the HT vertical and adds some wear to the charging contacts even though it's not being used for that purpose. If you're looking for a desk stand for your HT this may be the best option out there aside from making your own.

I just assembled this HT stand, and I'm already thinking of returning it. Why the use of acrylic on the upper parts, and steel for the base? It would be much more sturdy and stable if the entire stand was steel. The acrylic just doesn't inspire confidence that it will last. I knew going in that it was a steel base and acrylic stand, but I wish I hadn't bought it. The pre-drilled holes in the acrylic are also slightly askew, so when assembled, the stand looks cheap.

This Nifty HT Desk Stand is just right!! Assembly was quick and straightforward. No hiccups at all. The base is very heavy and supports my HT at the right angle with no wobble. The heavy duty black plastic parts came protected with a layer of plastic film. A nice touch. The rubber, stick-on feet do not move or allow the base to move around. As you can see in the pics, I have a mic attached to my Yeasu VX-6R. The Nifty base doesn't even know the mic is there. I would recommend this stand to other ham operators for their HT unit.

Super quality product. A customized bucket Seat for my ft3dr yaesu ht. It just looks good and with the use of an extended microphone cable, it is like a base station all by itself. Love it in my easy chair ham shack in front of the TV. Great item for any older ham who appreciates quality of life and convenience!!! 5*****.!!

Mine arrived with the steel base plate scratched up and scuffed on both sides. That's going to happen anyway and affects nothing of course but it'd be nice to receive a new looking product. Once assembled it's secure - no looseness or wobble and the polycarbonate is cut evenly with no misaligned holes or bias. It stays where you put it on the desk - neither of our cats managed to knock it over which isn't the case with bookshelf ends. Nice low profile and just what you need to have a sturdy stand. Assembly is a breeze - you might benefit from some Locktite - on the base screws and shelf with non-permanent kind there.
