Fun Generation Universal Stand

Ezért az árért hihetetlenül megéri! Ha kell egy valóban stabil, könnyű, hordozható mindenes állvány, akkor ezt válasszátok! Csavarozás és szerszám nélkül két mozdulattal be és ki lehet hajtani a lábakat. A legnehezebb billentyűzeteket is nyikkanás nélkül megtartja.
Szerencsés véletlen, hogy összecsukva pont beleillik a közepébe a Millenium KB-2006 zongoraszék, összekötve egy kézben szállítható mindkettő. Praktikus, mert így egy körben ki lehet pakolni a kocsiból a billentyűzetet és a széket/állványt (persze megfelelő kondíció mellett :D). Vegyétek, vigyétek, ne agyaljatok rajta!

When I first saw this stand, it was a "too good to be true" deal. But, red all the comments and checked some unboxing videos. I needed a convertible, multi-function, easy to carry, foldable stand for my Denon Dj Prime 2 and KeyLab 49 MkII. I have checked some other types as well, but I wanted a stand that I can use both inside and outside during small parties, garden / BBQ parties. I was a bit sceptic about it's stability, but I give it a chance. It was delivered quickly and after I unpacked, I have been surprised. Okay... Do not expect very thick steel and the welding is visible at many points. The painting quality is not measurable to K&N stuffs, but good enough. - for the price. It is not that much scratch resistant, but if you carry it with care, it will be just fine. I mean, what do you expect for such low price?

The stability is a big positive surprise, but there are pros and cons. The self locking mechanism is not something I really like. It should be more stable. A spring could be added to make it more stable. However, I have tried to tumble down, overbalance it with some weight on it and I have to tell that it is many times more balanced and stable than a standard X stand or any small desks. Big thumbs up to Thomann / Fun Generation for this! I have put 50Kg on it to see if it would really withstand under heavy load and YES, it is really capable to hold it without any noticeable frame deformation. Of course, have been placed 50kg equally on it. The extensible section (for the adapter for secondary instrument) gives possibility to attach some small LED PAR lights for fun (like Fractal PAR LED).

At the first use, you should properly align the foots' screws. Simply measure them to being equal, tighten the screws and that's all. This by the way letting you make it more stable on uneven surface. The height adjustment is great. With the screw attached foots it is easy to adjust it by ~10mm. So it really gives maximum 910mm height, while the lowest height is ~660mm (with fully tighten foot screws).


But, there are cons after the positive things (maybe cons, but some others it might pros...) that I think worth to mention disregards to the price-tag:

The dimmensions measured inaccurately. While the depth for the surface measured accurately (395mm), the width is not. The real width is ~659 and ~985mm (continuously extendable, without steps) for the surface. Of course, the total width and depth are ~1280mm and ~444mm respectively with legs. The painting is not very nice in certain points and having some scars already. One of the height adjustment locking-screw did not worked properly: I was able to pull it out and then "locking", but was not able to twisting in. A small mount of WD40 on it, some waiting and gentle turning in and out couple of times solved the issue. - Acceptable mistake for this price tag. I recommend to use very-very small amount of grease on them to avoid issues.

What I don't really like in this one is the surface: On the sides the surface parts are too small. For some synths it might be good enough, but for holding such DJ gears, well... Not perfect. Okay, again: What did you expect for such low price? I hope there will be an adaptor manufactured for it like the On-Stage KSA7100 to give a "solid" surface. I hope Thomann will take it into consideration to make something similar for this stand.

So, in nutshell:

PROS:
- groundbreaking price tag
- lockable, wide-range of height
- wide-range of adjustable width
- high weight capacity
- easy to fold

CONS:
- paint is not that scratch resistant
- some screws might needs some attention
- incorrect measurements
- legs fold-locking mechanism is not idiot-proof


In general, I would give a strong 7 on a scale of 10. With this price-tag, this is very good, affordable, multi-purpose, adjustable and stable stand. Worth the price? OHH, YES!
