I don't like the carpentry style work supports that have a straight bar on the floor, because grass is not flat enough for these designs. Also the poor telescopic lock designs always worried me compared to glider stands. The $300 cobra stand has a narrow tripod, also not a confidence booster, especially in wind. The price is absurd. Percussion cymbal stands mentioned earlier are cheap, pretty chrome, with a huge tripod, and great breakdown size. Check Craigslist, usually $40 each. If somebody is adventurous, here are 100 for sale:
