CHEAPEST Raspberry Pi Rackmount [UCTronics U6195]
This is the _BEST_ of the cheapest raspberry pi rackmounts! Sometimes you just need to get a few raspberry pis off the desk and don't need anything elaborate.
This UCTronics kit number 6195 is just a straight forward metal bracket for mounting 4 raspberry pis in a rack.
If you ever need to service one of the raspberry pis in this rack, you can remove a single tray, swap the SD Card or whatever you need to do and then replace the single raspberry pi in the rack.
The simplicity of this rackmount also means it will work with most raspberry pi hats including the official raspberry pi poe hat.

    I love Smallrig as a company and generally have much love for their products, but these adapters are garbage. I have replaced these before and cannot trust them. Every single one that I have purchased has deteriorated within 6 months of use. I only use my cameras in a temperature controlled studio. Without fail, the PVC jacketing comes apart, exposing the shield and conductors. I had one camera lose video output and I'm convinced it was because of the severe deterioration of the cable. Smallrig has good support and has sent me replacements, but at this point I'm looking for another cable clamp solution for cameras that have micro HDMI.

    Great work. I now understand how to use the Stream Deck with a Pi but what about the Stream Deck software itself? I'd also like to use buttons that come directly from the Stream Deck software at the same time (using various Stream Deck plugins). The problem is we have a MacBook Air with just 2 USB C ports with a docking hub and Companion loses the connection to the Stream Deck. After working for a few minutes, we get the red flags on each button and no apparent way to reconnect it. Is there a way to set up Companion on the Pi and still use the Stream Deck software simultaneously?

      I'm not sure I can help with this as it may be unique to your setup. If you can SSH to the rpi that is a good sign that your network is all working. I'd review the boot-up text on the rpi very closely to make sure it is starting companion as expected.

    i think the only thing i don't like about that item, is that they didn't design it to be modular. what i mean is, each time you want to add or remove a pi, the WHOLE shelf needs to be removed. uctronics does have another version, though with a few less features, where each pi is on its own insert, and thus each pi can be removed on its own. beyond that, that looks really cool. I love your desktop rack. though personally i have a 42u rack. To each his own there for each situation ;) i do wish these things were cheaper, as i REALLY want to get a Pi 4B, but i have other priorities that i need to spend money on :(

    • @BensTechLab
