KS-1001 : Cheap, fairly OK stand

This stand is probably the cheapest available and for the price you get what you were looking for: a low end, affordable stand that shines the most in home studio environment.

After years of usage at home I started using this stand in concerts and as to be expected, it does not really cope well in that environment. If you adjust the height to high, the stand gets really unstable.

I also had to realize that the balance is not perfect, the stand is not 100% even.

Pros:

- cheap

- OK build, this won't break easy, no fragile parts. I did quite a few gigs with transportation and so far it's in one piece so far. I open/disassemble it at least once a week

- does ok at home/low duty environment

- decent handling, easy to adjust

Cons:

- Ok stability in low height setting

- not perfectly balanced. I put a board on it and it's easy to see that not all 4 edges of the board touches the stand.

- Bad stability on higher setting. When playing standing during a gig I can't move/"dance" to the music because the whole stand starts swinging like crazy on the stage boarding.

All in all its an affordable stand with OK stability, rather suitable for home usage.
