Does anyone have this satnd and is using it. I need to know if it is really as easy as they state and is it light to carry. I need two tiers.

It's a great stand, but pretty heavy. HankB has one for sale--never been opened. He'll make you a great deal.

How heavy is it - the website states 20 lbs. Do you know how much is HankB looking for the stand. Why is he selling it - because of the weight?

The stand is extremely heavy, but like Don said it is a great stand and very well built. I think the one I have is three tiers it’s still in the box it came in. I purchased it from a member a couple of years ago. I had two but sold the other one. I take 50.00 dollars plus shipping but it’s not very light.

If the one you have is three tiers, I'm not interested, but if is the two tier (122ks) I will definitely be interested in it. As I stated before, the website shows it as only 20 lbs which is not much. Because I need two tiers, I need something sturdy and easy to open & close.

I bought one and dumped it in 2 days although sturdy BUT Flimsical & a pain to setup with sliding arms & pins etc etc to set up it weighs about 20 lbs I cant recomend it for gigging at all...

I do agree with Donnie it’s a beast not for one nighters.

Hank....in its defense it is a very well heavy duty quality built stand that would be ideal in a studio situation & can easily handle any load or multiple KB's...but for every day transportaion due to its assembly & weight it would be a bit difficult for that frequent In & out gig experience..

If this stand is as heavy as you guys are stating and also complex for one nighters which I have mostly, any other suggestions for 2 tiers. Bottom tier is for TYROS, 2nd tier is for a shelf board which I place a Yamaha 8 channel mixer, wireless mic brains and a shallow SKB rack with a Voicewroks harmonizer and light controller with 8 outlets. I had the on stage x-stand with the 2nd tier adaptor, however, with constant moving, the 2nd tier starts to strip. Any other ideas?? Looking for easy, light and compact.

The Standtastik stand looked good to me. I bought it, tried it, and returned it. Good idea, pins are not too bad. The problem was the design. It makes everything stick out way far. Here is the thread on my adventure. Hope it helps.

I haven't been able to find anything as versatile, lightweight and dependable as the old Ultimate Support A-frame. I have three of them, and recently made my own out of extra parts.

I'm not too sure why you would want to place all that non essential stuff right in front of you..... It could probably as easily be placed to one side of you, and obstruct the audience's view of you a LOT less.

Remember, they came to see YOU, not your gear!
