A bit rickety, but useable
Compared to the premium brand this one is rickety and has some flaws in the engineering.
1) The neck yokes (the upper part from which the instrument hangs) don't lock in place and fold away when you lift them up - unfortunately you have to lift up to retrieve your instrument so this means they fold down everytime you pick up your guitar.
2) The bottom padded arms fold up but there is no mechanism that holds them in that position which makes transporting this thing a real pain. It's constantly unfolding and the T bars are especially adept at tangling with everything in your load out.
3) The place where the instruments hand aren't aligned with the legs. This means that the weight of the instruments aren't directly over the legs which increases the instability and with three instruments hanging off this thing you could have a fair amount of money at risk.
SUMMARY: On stage I want to switch out instruments quickly and smoothly. This stand slows that process down as I have to be careful not to destabilise it or fold away parts of it involuntarily. This takes my mind of of my performance and puts it into hardware management. Now that I know, I would have spent the extra on the better system.
