Hi,








That Home Depot stand does look like a good option. Has anyone used one as




a wing-stand?

Hi,
















Anyone have any thoughts on the current state of the art for light,




compact wingstands. I've reviewed all of the threads from the last few




years as well as looking at various websites. Just wondering if there




are any new entrants to the market.
















FWIW, I absolutely LOVE the old Wings and Wheels wingstand from the early




2000s that came in kit form. Cheap, light, simple, and incredibly robust.




I could probably see fabricating and powdercoating the two key parts (top




cluster and the leg support unit) if I had the time... which I don't. If




anyone wants to sell a used one (or two) I'd be interested.
















Simple, sturdy, light, inexpensive and readily available at any Home Depot

Several guys at CalCity including myself for several years now. Not a one problem.

I had the tightening handle on the vertical adjust clamp break on one. Otherwise no other issues.
