I use this for regular gigging with our band. It impressed me straight away with how strong and sturdy it was. Whereas normal 'x' type stands tend to rock and bounce a lot, this stand can with stand any heavy playing and not move at all.

It also packs away perfectly and when kept in a bag it survives the back of the van no problem!

It is slightly on the heavy side but that's what I expected with a heavy duty product like this.

Excellent all round.
