Lightweight and surprisingly well built
I got almost 3 years out of my last stand, a more 'normal' style than this one with screw in knobs. I had to replace all the knobs on that one at least once after they stripped out but in the end it was just beginning to lean and seemed to come loose at every joint. So when I went looking for a replacement I came upon this one. Two things that drew me to it were the height clamps style (vs screw knobs) and also the 'head' at the top that holds the tablet clamp looks a lot more sturdy. Last, the tablet clamp style was different as well and holds the tablet on the sides (or top and bottom) vs the corner clamping that the last one had.Right out of the box the build quality seemed really good especially for something that is SO lightweight and folds up very small. I love the clamps for height adjustment as they are much faster and easier to operate than the screw in type. I also much prefer the side/top-bottom tablet holder and the beefier tablet clamp post. The one thing I don't know about is how long it will stand up to the rigors of performance. We play about 150 shows a year so we'll see. I'll report back if I have any issues but for now right out of the box (and used at one show already) it works well and is a definite improvement over the last stand I bought. I did not try the little phone/camera shutter remote that came with it as I'll almost surely never need/use that.If there is one possible downside to the lightweight is that with the tablet attached the stand is not rock-solid. It holds my mid-size Samsung Galaxy tablet fairly well but a full size tablet might be a bit much for it. It probably wouldn't take a lot of contact to knock it over but that's a tradeoff with the extreme lightweight build. Since we are just an acoustic duo with one guitar and two vocalist that plays in assisted living type places almost exclusively with little traffic around us, stability is less of an issue than lightweight and portability.Ver másVer menos
