Great pictures of your "roll in one trip" pictures. I used to carry so much stuff... not anymore. If I'm only getting paid $125 for a 45 minute show/program, the quicker in and out of the gig the better!!

Dnj... thanks for the keyboard stand option to bungee in the upright position. The Motif ES7 takes the majority of the space... BUT if I upgrade to a Roland BK-9, I'll save space and weight. I can still use my tracks from the Motif as WAV files on the BK-9.

I use the Ultimate Support IQ-2000 as my keyboard stand of choice. It has the memory lock just like the IQ-3000 that you have pictured. About 5 years ago, I added the On-Stage KSA7575 to my IQ-2000 to eliminate carrying a mic boom stand. Works like a champ.

I had my reservations because of the possibility of transferring the "Boom-Boom" effect through the mic when attached to the stand. I do a low cut on the EQ on my mixer and I haven't had any issues.

Best $15 bucks I spent to save time and carrying an extra boom stand. I pack a plug in headset mic (Roland DR-HS5) as my back up... no boom needed.
