I gigged with the Apex for years and it is a great stand - er, with a couple of reservations :-) One, it will go over if pushed from back to front or off-axis, and two, the thick column in the middle will obstruct port access in many cases. I wanted to use my Apex in the studio, but the column neatly blocked off all the MIDI ports on the VS, so I was SOL there! Wish I'd kept it though. Now I have Standtastic 103KS in the studio, which have proven to be stable and reliable for big heavy stuff. The arms are extendable which help deal with deep synths. https://lm-products.myshopify.com/collections/standtastic-keyboard-stands On Mon, Oct 7, 2019 at 7:52 PM Brian Willoughby <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx> w= rote: > > My favorite - for looks, ease of portability, and functionality - has bee= n the Apex AX-48 Pro for many years.
