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

Hi,

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

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

I've seen a bunch of them around. My main objection is that they don't fold down nearly as small as the old Wings and Wheels design. You could fit two of the W&W wingstands in an 8" ID tube for storage (i.e. a length of PVC pipe). With all of the crap that starts to end up in our trailers, compact breakdown is important (at least to me).
