SKB A/V Shelf for Mighty GigRig

The 1SKB-AV14 A/V Shelf for Mighty GigRig is a purpose-built, scissor-hinged extension designed to put a functional workspace exactly where you need it, when you need it. This shelf is crafted to stay connected to your Mighty GigRig or GigSafe while in use, delivering a stable surface for essential gear without sacrificing the portability and streamlined profile of your rig. Whether you’re on tour, in a rehearsal space, or setting up a classroom or studio, this A/V shelf combines versatility, durability, and quick-access practicality to help you organize your devices—laptop computers, projectors, or monitors—with confidence and ease. Its thoughtful design makes it easy to deploy a secondary working area, hold a compact display, or support a compact projector, all while preserving the integrity and balance of your rig. In short, the 1SKB-AV14 is a smart, reliable addition to the Mighty GigRig ecosystem that transforms how you manage on-rig A/V tasks.

• Innovative scissor-hinge design provides smooth extension and retraction while keeping the shelf firmly attached to the Mighty GigRig or GigSafe. This means you can deploy a sturdy work surface during setup or performance without disconnecting your gear, and when you’re ready to pack up, the shelf folds neatly away without adding extra steps or clutter to your rig. The scissor mechanism supports repeated use, ensuring consistent alignment and load distribution as you move from venue to venue.
• Hook-and-loop mounting surface equips the shelf to securely hold a range of devices—laptops, tablets, small projectors, or compact monitors—without marring delicate surfaces. The flexible surface grips your device with dependable friction, enabling quick repositioning for optimal viewing angles or cable routing. This approach reduces slippage during transport and on stage, and it accommodates varying device footprints, so you’re not locked into a single size or shape of gear.
• Low-profile, portable footprint keeps your workflow close at hand without compromising stability or balance. The shelf is designed to sit flush with the rig’s frame when stowed, preserving the overall silhouette of your setup for easy transport and tight stage spaces. By maintaining a balanced center of gravity, it helps prevent tipping or unwanted movement, even when the rig is bumped during a show or rolled between venues.
• Durable construction for demanding environments is built to withstand the rigors of touring, rehearsals, and busy production days. The 1SKB-AV14 uses robust materials and a finish designed to resist wear from frequent use, travel, and varied venue conditions. Its dependable hardware is chosen for long-lasting performance, giving you confidence that your shelf will perform reliably, show after show, year after year.
• Simple installation and broad compatibility means you can outfit your Mighty GigRig or GigSafe with an A/V shelf in minutes. The design leverages existing mounting interfaces within the SKB Mighty line, so you don’t need specialized tools or complex procedures to add a functional shelf to your rig. This makes upgrading your setup fast, reducing downtime between events and enabling you to tailor your rig to different gigs with minimal effort.
