[25.32 lb] Overall, I like the unit as it serves the purpose I need it for.

Very sturdy.

[25.32 lb] As a mobile DJ, I've bought several different tripod speaker stands over the years, but I decided it was time to upgrade to something to make it easier for me to lift my 50-pound EV ETX cabinets. These Gator Frameworks ID stands are not only sleek and stylish, but they are solid and allow me to raise/lower the heavy speakers with ease. No more fumbling with pins and tightening twist knobs. Just release the collar to extend the lower legs and do the same to raise the speaker into position. Well worth the investment!

[25.32 lb] Very nice stands, have found nothing to say negative.

[25.32 lb] Light, portable, stable.

[25.32 lb] These speaker stands are a great invention and heaven sent. I'm 62 years old and do a lot of DJ work, now I don't have to go through a rough time to lift my JBL PRX 715 anymore the Frameworks does it for me very easy. These are the best in the world.I cant say anything negative about these stands.

[25.32 lb] First the bad: These are not black !! They're sort of a graphite grey, so they don't match the rest of pretty much everything on the bandstand. It's a minor niggle, but also a very silly design flaw, IMO. Also, the knob that holds the foot-extender in place tends to loosen up very quickly. I'v goten in the habit of tweaking it tight each time I collapse the stands, so no biggie, but it's still a flaw. Everything else is just fantastic: Very sturdy. Taller than I expected. (the listed height is to the bottom of the speaker, not the tip of the stand. The air system works reasonable well, even with my 85 lb speakers. Even the case is great: Very heavy and nicely reinforced. Expensive, but worth it. I just wish they were black.

[25.32 lb] This stand feels like real professional quality.
It's a pretty simple design, but the build is strong and sturdy.
The adjustment / locking mechanism is easy to operate with one hand, and feels like it's never going to let me down (or run around and desert me)..
Folds up nice and compact too.

[25.32 lb] Easy to setup and use and road worthy. Holds my Mesa Boogie Roadking combo (100lbs) easily

[25.32 lb] Sturdy, solid and easy to use.

[25.32 lb] I picked up, and used a set of these stands, for the first time, this weekend. My initial impression is very positive. Case: Heavy duty. Two separated compartments(one for each stand). The two-pack with the case is imperative. These stands are beautiful, and should always be protected Aesthetics: Best looking speaker stands on the market. No more beat-up label scratched speaker stands, with bulky tripod legs. This stand folds into a single cylinder. Clamp design is simple. But, if the clamp isn't facing you, it's a little difficult to know which way to release it. Engineering: Pneumatics - Awesome. I set my K12.2's on the stand, flipped open the clamp, and up it went. If your speaker is under the weight limit for the lift, you'll need to pull it down, with a little force. It would be nice to have some way of indicating your preferred speaker height (I'm OCD, 'nuff said). Speaker Pole: Adapts to 35 mm. It would have been nice to put a plastic insert at the top of the pole. As it is now, it's exposed metal. When you sit your speaker on the speaker pole, the contact is metal to metal. Tripod Design: Overall design is very solid. I never felt my speakers were compromised, due to shabby construction of the stand. As noted by another reviewer, the knob to retain the extension, came loose during setup. Also, the red rubber feet on the bottom of the stand were easily removed. Hopefully, they won't loosen further, over time. I appreciate the time that Gator put into designing these speaker stands. They are definitely worth the price. Gator has managed to change my perception of the products with this series. I'm now considering the Frameworks microphone stands.
