I used the Ultimate Support V-stand with second tier and mic adapter (although it's the Roland version, they are identical) yesterday for the first time. It is stable and versatile. However with the second tier attached, it doesn't fold up as it does without the tier. You can of course detach the tier and mic holder but that does take three or four minutes and then you have to carry them individually.
Great concept. They got very close to getting it right! If you don't move around a lot, or if your vehicle has room to leave it together, it's great.
I think it's fairly expensive, but I didn't buy it, HankB did!
