Probably the best thing about this stand is that you can use a gym bag, and get everything into it.

Set-up is pretty quick too.

Email or call me.

Frank..a gym bag...after you sold me the Ultimate bag..

Actually, I love the V-Stand..and yes the Ultimate bag too..

I also purchased the Mic boom attachment..and the shelf attachment[for laptop]..from Frank

The mic boom is terrific...The shelf attachment is a little bulky [especially for storing]..The stand and mic boom fit in the bag nicely..I am contemplating cutting down the size of the shelf, so it will also fit in the bag..It doesn't need to be as large for a laptop shelf..It seems better suited for a song book [size wise]..

Just be aware that the Apex stands are pretty hopeless for positioning pedals, apart from that they are very good.
I currently use a V-Stand(ultimate) with a Kurz pc1se on the bottom and a Tyros on the top with the shelf attachment, although I only use the shelf (for charts) when playing in piano only gigs.IE no Tyros.
FWIW The V-Stands look really cool, as do the Apex and both are far classier imo than an X- stand!!
Cheers

I also use Apex's[I have two]..The V-stand sets up faster than the Apex..It is very stable, and if you sit[I do not]..It works better than the Apex..also pedal room..The Mic boom only has to be loosened[a few turns of the knob]...and turned slightly ..and it is off..Same with the shelf..

By the time you open up the Apex[slide out the bars]..open the foot bars and attach the bars..and attach and adjust the mic boom...You are already playing with the V-Stand..

I fully agree with that.
I use an apex since years but the volume/expression pedal and sustain are allways in the wrong place..

If I go with one keyboard I just use a simple single X stand, adjustable enough to stand behind the keyboard and no problem with the pedals.

The apex is sturdy though. At the moment it is in my homestudio supporting:
1. Kurzweil K2600
2. Korg triton
3. Roland G 800

You might also look at the quicklok (f.i.model Z726L), they have some handy models and are fast in set up too.

Thanks for all the input everyone, Frank from CT. Came through like a champ. Sent tons of pics of the v80 from all configurations. That's the way I think I'm leaning.

Frank you are a great, thanks for all tje superb customer service. Can you email me prices?

It was a bad joke......don't those stands all "lean" on an angle? I know the apex does, and from pictures, it looked like thr roland had a similar style.
I was making a reference to the leaning design of the main support!
Whew.......too many words to explain a bad joke! sorry people !
(at least I thought it was amusing!)
