[danielbriggs]

It wasn't anywhere near that price
But granted, a £ or ££ more expensive.

Hi I know I've come a little late to this post but just be carefull with this stand. I bought one and if anyone remembers what happened at one of the Surfleet meets? The of one the bolts holding the support bars on one of the legs broke, the head sheared right off and the stand with my laser was coming crashing down luckily people ran to my aid and we got it down safely.

Since then I replaced all the M6 crappy bolts with Stainless steel M8 bolts and nuts....I'd recommend changing all the bolts and using safety hooks where possible just in case???

If anyone is after a really decent stand/s I can thoroughly recommend the American DJ ST132 (100kg, 4m) from Thomann for ~£120 at the moment. It's a rebrand of the Global Truss ST132 and alarmingly similar (e.g. could be the same) as the Stand-tek SP-tek 4000 which retails for MUCH more

mattydrac, i bought one of those stands just before the UKLEM . I wasn't aware it was the same one you got. Albeit it's only supporting a projector weighing less than 10Kg's, I'll get on the case this weekend and drill out the rivets. thanks for the info
Cheers

i was after a cheap wind up stand for my new projector but couldnt afford the £250 they normally cost.

so did a bit of ebay searching and saw they had some on there.

found the one i wanted and contacted the seller to ask that if i didnt like it i could return it. which he was fine with.

anyway got the stand today and OMG, very surprised. looks excellent build quality, heavy/strong, very solid.

i would 100% purchase the same stand again, its so much better than the cheap tin foil stands you get from maplin. goes 3 metres high and can carry 50kg.

Hi Andy, I followed this link but got nowhere .
What is the model number etc. ?
I don't mind drilling rivets if I get a good result.

Cheers
