Hello Scott,
Here's a zoom-in on the base of the Apex stand.
So is the little thing-a-ma-bob at the base the support for keeping the stand from tipping in the direction that UD is talking about? Clearly the other sides are supported by the legs but I too wonder what keeps it from coming back into the player.
Does it rely on the forward slope of the whole unit and that little stopper at the base?
It does look cool though!
