I'm a singer and am looking for a stand whose podium does not 'wander' in tilt. I've read a few reviews where this might be a problem? Or not....?

I bought this stand for my husband who plays his guitar and he likes it. He does play it on a carpet. So for him it does not wander. He thinks it should not be a problem.I don"t know if you have seen a music stand that my husband and myself saw a John Schneiderman and Yamaya Duo play a duet on 18th century Plucked Strings atthe Bowers Museum Concert Hall. These Musicians both used the same type of stand with 3 rubbered feet. I would think that if you had doubts about the On-StageSM7211. That you might want to check out the type of stand these Master Musicians use. I would suggest checking out you-tube, where I know John Schnridermanplays his Lute. Good Luck! Carol R.

It's very stable. I however keep it at home for practice only. Just be careful, if you adjust it a lot, I understand that can cause weakness.

We have 2 of these stands and they definitely don't wander in their tilting. In fact there seems to be a tightening mechanism that keeps the tilt in place wherever you set it. We sometimes even lay it flat to hold a computer and then tighten it into place so computer doesn't fall. I can't day that after months or years of changing the tilt that the mechanisms won't get stripped but we have purchased two stands, one of them at least 2 years ago and don't have this issue. I hope this helps!

Yes, I actually have two of these and keep them freestanding. They are quite heavy when fully stocked with polish. So mine are freestanding and work very well. They won't tip over either.

Before I purchased this monitor, I read a couple of reviews that said the stand was stiff and required a little extra force to move. I found this to be the case with my monitor as well. I suspect it may designed that way...so the monitor holds its position at whatever viewing angle you choose.

Unless your monitors are super heavy, there's no need. I've had no issues with it tilting and it has been very solid.

Fans are made to run in any orientation, people have had the problem your complaining about though. Seems to be luck of the draw, the set I have didn't make noise vertically but I didn't use mine that long.

A more urgent question is: will this unit safely stay on top of your speaker. That would depend on how wide your speaker is. Im assuming it is a floor speaker at least and not a bookshelf speaker. If it can stay on top of it then I wouldn't worry too much about your records as they should be able to stay in place. But I don't know for sure as I don't currently have this type of setup.

I find the stand to be very stable. Mine's on a computer desk which is located in an area where the desk gets bounced rather often & the shake of the monitor is very minimal. This stand wouldn't topple over. I find it stable even when tilt to adjust for viewing.

This stand is very sturdy, stability isn't an issue, in fact the heavier the keyboard the more stable it should be. I haven't noticed any shaking and I do usually pound away (I'm more concerned with the keyboard being able to take it) but since you asked, I can get the stand to wobble left and right a bit if I push and deliberately try to get it to sway laterally but it has absolutely no movement up and down or front to back no matter how much force I use. It takes deliberate effort to make it move sideways, not something you would normally do, you could beat this stand with a sledgehammer and it wouldn't shake, I don't think you should have any concerns.

Hi, I have a pair of Boston Acoustics CR75 Bookshelf speakers which weigh about 12 lbs. each, and the stands are rock solid. I do computer repair; one customer of mine had these same stands in his studio with a pair of Rokit ~10" or so speakers (I'm not sure of the exact model/size but they were at least twice the size of mine) and seemed very stable. These are strong, sturdy stands IMO. Hope it helps, Dave

I bought a set of Sanus stands at Best Buy. Although the reflex ports are somewhat blocked by the position of the speakers, this hasn't been a real problem. I also mounted the speakers with the curved rod facing opposite the way the manufacturer intended, primarily because the bottom of the speakers rested on the rod when the curve goes the way it's intended. Because of where I have the speakers (relatively hidden by furniture) it doesn't matter. It all boils down to how you want the speakers to fit into your own theater space, I guess.

I turned one of my Wharfedale - Diamond 10.1 speakers on its side. Due to the weight of the drivers, it tilts forward until the front edge contacts the supporting surface. It has a slight angle downward. If this angle works for your seating position, then it should be fine. Otherwise a piece of wood or other support under the front would level it out.

I would suggest buying a sandbag or two just for the precaution. It is a really nice stand but it is reasonably lightweight so it is a little prone to tipping (but most stands in this price range would be.)

Oh, I did forget to mention, if you have a slanted bottom on your computer, it may slide off. I have one with a slanted bottom, a Dell and it stay's on. I guess it would depend on how steep the slant is. Its worth a try, if it work's out, your neck will love it. Its the best stand I've come across because of the high adjustment.

If you're not looking to mount them too high off the ground these stand should do you just fine. My speakers are pretty heavy for unpowered ones and the were fine. So all depends in your usage situation if you want them at maximum height in the middle of an open stage, where there is wind, maybe a bad buy, otherwise I'm extremely happy with them for the price I paid.

...found the same thing...so, I re-seated it by backing the threads out and re-tightening it for just OK results. To be honest, I ended up purchasing a universal shock mount from on stage hands and use it upside down with a boom stand. THIS works very well.

I believe it is. I love this stand and havnt had any stability issues with my tv. However, I don't have one that big, but I still don't see it being a big issue unless you run into it.

Yes. I do it all of the time. You can adjust the angles of this stand. You just have to make sure the whole thing doesn't tilt forward when you move around. I love this stand. I think you'll appreciate it.
