Don't have one..I have the on-stage 2 tier stand and I like it a lot...but this looks great!
I bet it cost a leg or 2!

Nothing I've seen beats the versatility, light weight and function of my 25-year-old Ultimate Support tube stands.
And I'll bet this thing costs five times as much!

I still swear by the old USS stand system; I think it was called the "A-Frame" by some people? I have two of them (one for at home, one for gigs) plus a bunch of extra pieces and parts - I've used them for something like 25 years [hmm, maybe almost 30?! I'm getting old! :-) ] I bought most of it used, to it wasn't all that expensive (back in the 1980s/1990s that is)

I have customized them by adding power distribution (cords and power strips), small lights, etc. - and I drive a minivan, so I just quickly fold it up, throw it in the fan. And since they are aluminum, they are lightweight yet seem very sturdy.

I'm not sure if USS still makes this system ...

Sounds just like mine. I'm not sure anyone is making them now.

Those A frames work very well in a steady fixed room gig, but to setup & break down day after day..doing gigs, doubles, in & out, etc,.. becomes awkward IMO....vs other stands, X stand, Apex, K&M, etc, that just Fold up and go....to each his own.

No break down at all. Mine simply folds together in maybe five seconds. It loads on top of my other gear in either my Expedition or Scion XB. If you have a really small car it might not fit. In that case I would use the one I made myself out of old parts. It folds up in about 20 seconds and takes virtually no room at all.
It's supposed to be really cold tomorrow, so maybe I'll make a video of it.
