I have that stand: https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_42040.htm I also have https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/tourtech-tts-mxa1-adjustable-stand-for-mixer-or-keyboard?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_content=lia&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4v2EBhCtARIsACan3nzEWITpVNxHVBTGW9ddxhSACyB53kDF9ZA4YHyOJbiD158K_bXn5y0aAphsEALw_wcB But the one I normally use is https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Quiklok-DJ223-DJ-Performance-Workstation/1YT9?origin=product-ads&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4v2EBhCtARIsACan3nw85vTRxQSVJS5skT7rzipPwS2mlsh-My6mCoVa2ga31o3wI87wVRkaAjJLEALw_wcB I've used all three fairly regularly for the last 10 years. IME the K&M stand is wonderfully light and a very easy thing to transport and set up, but it verges on being flimsy and if the permanently-angled top isn't at the right angle for what you need, then it's a bit of a PITA. The knurled knobs aren't captive, which means that a clumsy bandmate would be able to unscrew one completely at a gig and lose it. Don't ask me how I know. These days, I use this stand primarily to take a https://www.djsupplies.co.uk/products/studiomaster12activefloormonitor to sit alongside the electric drumkit. The G4M folding steel table is brilliant, every bit as strong as it looks, and provides great stability. On the other hand, it is heavy and takes up valuable floor space on stage. Our PA is a heavy 6U Gator case so the size, strength and stability are what we need. There's plenty of room underneath for my bass cab, plenty of room on top for my amp and other gubbins. The TourTech unit rather falls between two stools and hardly ever gets taken to gigs these days, I mainly use it as a handy temporary table in the studio for recording sessions and such. I should also mention that the 'kick-out' of the four legs to stabilise it feels rather unconvincing. It's never actually fallen over, but I do wonder ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I use a folding picnic table. 15 quid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I made my own by welding some angle iron to the legs of an old folding chair. It's actually much better than it sounds. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spewy Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I went with the K&M one in the end, unfortunately one of the strange things my ex Mrs demanded as part of the divorce was my welders and lathe….very odd bearing in mind she then weighed it all in 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 At most of our gigs we used one of these 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 K&M for me, too. Not too pricey, which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
