Why I Changed My Mind About The Humpter B3 DJ Booth - First Look & Unboxing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- When the Humpter B3 came out, I thought it was ridiculously overpriced for the features that it offered. But I kept noticing that it was always selling out, so I took a closer look and eventually fell enough in love to buy one for myself. Join me as I review, unbox, and demo the Humpter B3, distributed by ProX.
Thanks to my friends at Hollywood DJ for hooking me up with this great piece of DJ furniture. They can take care of you too. (Use Code "DJDARYLBENNETT" to save 10%!)

Here's the guitar pedal board I use to pre-wire my setup: amzn.to/3vzFlfd
Somehow it got lost on the cutting room floor, but this fits a 55" TV. I'll probably make another video on that some day.

best review/setup i've seen for this booth, looks INCREDIBLE
Thanks for watching man!
Yo you give the best help and awesome insight on everything!! 😮😮 I always look forward to every video you post.
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching and your comment
This is a great piece of equipment!
Great video. I am doing the pedal board trick myself. Great for small pre wired gear.
Small gear was the bane of my experience when I first started. Setting it all up is now a breeze!
i've been eying this for a while now, pretty soon i'm going for it!
Dooo it! There’s a link in the description for Hollywood DJ and they have a 10% off coupon! When you decide the time is right!
Man, you have really leveled UP your wedding DJ setup. Wow!! Looks amazing to me! The Humpter is far too big and tall for me, but it should be perfect for a 6'4" guy. I'm no where near that height lol. Congrats on the new all white setup! I promise you, your clients are gonna LOVE your new setup!
Thanks man! I am kinda a skeptic on how much guests actually care about our presentation. but I used it this past weekend and it was hit! Especially with the other vendors. Including the venue owner, which is always a good person to be in good graces with.
I’m 5’6 and it’s not an issue for me
@Nogui_Aramburo That's nice to know. I'm 5'6" too. I'm very picky about table heights. I sold my ADJ Pro Event Table because I felt it was also too tall for me.
Daryl I would love to know more about your guitar paddleboard set up. Seems like it would cut down a lot on set up time. I also have noticed that when I used the booth and I put my wireless mic receiver on the under rack shelf thingy it didn’t get clear enough signal because it had to travel through metal so I ended up putting the receiver on top of the table which definitely decreased from the aesthetic impact
I’ll be curious to see how you work through that
I will make a video! I’ll keep that in mind. So far so good, but I used a good mic and didn’t go very far yet
Have one, absolutely love it. Weighs nothing, will fit in you car, sets up in minutes.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience
Amazing table, hopefully get one after a few months of gigs, need to show us how you mount the tv on there and take off the front panel, be a good one to see!
I’m planning on it!
@@DJDarylBennett seconded
I got that as well. It is so great. Good move !!
Awesome! I'm glad that you're liking yours as well!
It’s crazy… I’ve set my mind on this booth and was just waiting to see more about it. Right on time haha. My next decision. Is Humpter totems or MAX Design totems… if you’d be so kind as to buying a pair of each and reviewing them… thanks!
Haha I think you'd be happy with this booth. Hollywood DJ (link in the description) has a great deal with coupon TD10.
I think if you're gonna get the humpter, I'd stick with the humpter totems. But the material feels similar to gravity stands or rockville totems too.
Good review Darryl, I've been working on a review vid for this as I have the black one since Aug 23 and have used it for about 30+ weddings.
Do you have any footage/photo of the bag for the laptop stand? I didn't get one, and other reviews of this stand have said they haven't gotten one.
Thanks!
I think I briefly show it in the loading of the car demo. I think I have a closer look but I cut it
I have tried some stands and combination with good cases but my best solution for the small mobile set up is a x-keybordstand and a Case for my NI traktor S4 with a built in shelf for my Mac and a minimixer from Yamaha. My speakerstand are lightweight from KM and the FOH are BK Audio Galaxius 15 system for some SemiPro Party up to 100p today.
Earlier When I played on bigger events I used Systems from dbaudiotechnic often Qsub and Q7 and sometimes Qsub and T10.
But Now Its lot of great sound for small money.
In my own gardenparty I Use JBL Partybox 100 and It sounds great! I really love that box❤
Hey can I get the measurements of the booth in both bags?
Be careful with too much bending of the booth. I had my aluminum frame warp a little when I laid it down janky one time. It moved back into place but yeah
I’ll keep that in mind!
I have this one - I am waiting to purchase a couple pf white evox 12s. Same issue getting into my SUV, it goes in last 😂
I did this with my facade and I thought this would be similar… not so much lol but doable
Did you use your Rane 12s and 72 at the wedding or controller? I have the Rane 12s and an S11 and my hangup is connecting it all everytime...
I actually plan on using a controller more often, but this past weekend I used my rane 12/72. There’s a reason many don’t bring them that often lol
B3 is a nice table - I purchased one a month ago, taking it to my first wedding next week. I like that it folds away and the all aluminum build. I don't like the laptop stand design, it should be some sort of fold away stand that lives in the main bag. Also the bottom shelf is very flimsy- good for a small mixer and a few lighter items. For me, it definitely adds more setup time, but portability was key.
There’s very few tables that are this portable that look this good. Good luck at your gig!
It looks amazing but man I was exhausted just looking at your video lol. I can’t imagine setting up/tearing down this beast every day at work. In my mind that’s more of a permanent set up. Let’s see at the end of your wedding season how much you still love it and how it holds up.
Not being able to “permanently” set your gear inside will also add so much more time to your set up. I love your “travel bag” idea but you still need to plug in and out everything, every single time, including wireless mic, surge protector/power regulator, mixer, DMX controller, etc.
Kudos to you for doing all this each event.
At the end of the day it’s very slick, but definitely not very portable or lightweight (where do you even put your Evox in your car, once you load that beast in?), and still ridiculously overpriced. You could buy a hand made solid oak executive office desk for cheaper than that :)
Yeah we'll see! The Bunn Gear Command Center was definitely better for prewiring and transportability (even though it was slightly heavier), but I'm excited for the flexibility to use any setup I want.
I had the Evox 12 in the car during my loading demo in the video. I couldn't keep them upright.
To be honest though, it is way more portable than most video booths and it's crazy that it fits in a normal sized car.
Where did you get the white casing holding all your wires
This one: amzn.to/3wI6JYO
Looks nice for sure but it adds a good amount of work. Having a Toadmatic and dropping just your signal and power is just way more efficient. Power conditioning, distribution, 3 wireless mic systems, a 16 channel digital mixer, a sliding shelf and 4 u drawer are all in one place, still room for lots of contingency items too.
As I age I'm all about efficiency lol.
Looks fantastic though for sure.
I hear you. I considered that option as well, I just can’t bring a trailer to so many venues and I’m not ready to buy a van just for a sweet booth haha
@DJDarylBennett I bought a optioned out minivan, gave up on my dreams and scheduled my prostate exam all in one day. 😃
im stuck between this or thr Bunn DJ command center.... thoughts?
Considered doing a comparison video, perhaps I will!
Bunn gear travels easier, lets you keep gear prewired, has a sleeker sunken top look. Quicker to setup (because of prewiring)
Humpter doesn’t confine your look to a certain setup (based on the top plate that you may have), lets you attach a tv.
The look of the podium booth vs boxy table is totally subjective and I think both look good in a DJs arsenal. Both are made of aluminum and durable. I think you’d be happy with either
I won't lie, I want one. Hard to justify over the ProX Vista MK2.. but It's nice
That was my thought but this one is just so much more stable, people can see your hands better, and I like that there’s no spandex
I have Humpter Move BL, also an awesome booth! And wayyyy lighter than B3.
I think that one would be a hit in the states!
I’ve been looking for this but with the accessory laptop stand in the US. Zero luck.
Will it fit with speakers in your suv ?
Yes, I do so in my last giglog
I believe Pro X is just a distributor. But humpter is a Europe brand .
It is a European brand. Been looking at them for a few years, IMO nice but overpriced for a simple booth design. To each its own.
It’s very nice. It looks heavy and bulky especially compared to similar tables. I don’t think clients would care about it. Thanks for the video. I keep looking at it but I don’t see myself making the jump.
I have that in the description 😀
ProX is the name of the listing within the US
Thought that too but there's really no other alternatives in aesthetic and functionality
They do have other amazing booths other than the humpter. For those asking . But those are not available in the USA i believe yet .
Stupid but serious question how did you snake your cables through that tube? Is there a cheat code lol. I find doing one cable extremely tough but you seem to have several done
Yeah it was kinda tough, I just did one at a time, and tried to push it to the middle, one side at a time.
How many inch is the tv that you can mount on it?
55”
@@DJDarylBennett thank you👍🏽
Awesome looking console....BUT, NOT worth the asking price and the shipping cost to Melbourne, Australia is joke.....OVER PRICED IN ALL ASPECTS
FYI: Total cost is well over $4,500- (AUD) - that's Euros to Aust $
Yeah that’s difficult man! I probably wouldn’t for that much. I had a hard time with the asking price in the states. Just baffles me that all the gear makers make cases with spandex or flight cases and they hide the performer’s hands
down from 4 thousand! to $2,249.99. That alone tells me they're ripping people off and are just plain GREEDY. If they can go down that low, they can sell these for 6-7 hundred and STILL make a profit.
My initial thought was that these should be $500-1000 but the fact that there's no alternative and these keep selling out quickly might mean that these are worth their cost 🤷
I've never seen them for $4k though
