Stage stands for ipads and laptops?

Just wondering what you use for stands - for a laptop, Maschine controller and iPad type setup when you’re on stage - any recommendations?
I’ve looked at some of the music stand type mounts, but that option looks a bit risky and topply to have on stage with a band.
TIA

For a table top, or a stand that has legs that sit on the ground?
I’m after something to use on stage, so some sort of stand, or fold up table. Ideally I’d be able to get Maschine and a laptop on it, failing that a stand with legs for the iPad.
I have just been looking for something myself this morning...have come across this on ebay which looks good value, cannot vouch for stability as I havent seen one in the flesh.

I need it for iPad/Circuit/Electribe/Launchpad/Mininova and Bass Station.
I was thinking that one of these with maybe some lightweight mesh shelves of some sort to get 2 flat surfaces.
Thanks Andy, they look pretty good, let me know how you get on.
I've not ordered yet, cannot find reasonably priced mesh shelves to put onto it, could use wood/chipboard/mdf, but I think that'd just make it too top heavy. Shelves of any decent size are coming out at £10 each
for the extra I could possibly get a better solution all round.
Still investigating.
For the ipad. you have some stabilizers. https://www.amazon.com/iStabilizer-Articulating-other-tablets-18441/dp/B00NMDY8W8 I don't like to put mine on normal stands cause they get dusty and stuff. An articulated arm is safer in my opinion.
OK so my stand arrived yesterday...feels sturdy enough to me, and for £23 a bit of a bargain I think.
I do still need to identify something to use for shelves as my kit is smaller stuff that won't bridge the gap.
One limitation of this particular stand is that the top tier is the same width as the bottom tier so you have to set it at the width of your narrowest piece of kit, you can make the top narrower by removing the cross brace, but it isn't as sturdy then and the top tier could 'slip' as it would only be held up by the little 'clamp' screw (those things never last long if left alone to do the job.)
