My company is looking to purchase this stand for use at trade shows. How well does it break down/set up and would it travel well?

It's a a little heavy but it's very stable, it's a great product and it's more economically friendly then tablet stands specific to the iPad.

The stand breaks down into 3 parts - the base (heavy at about 15 pounds), the pole (about 3 feet with the gooseneck), and the clamp that holds the iPad. Use at a trade show should be fine if it's used to view presentations but if it's used interactively (tapping and typing) it's a little unstable (top heavy). Also the clamp just snaps into the gooseneck so it's a little wobbly and feels like it might come apart.

Most definitely! That's exactly why I bought it. The portability is just a plus for me. I wanted to stand periodically. I have two of these -- one at home and one at work.

The construction is fairly sturdy but the base plate is not all that large (8" x 8"). We have a pair of KRK VXT4 monitors on our stands. They are 15 lbs each, and I would not want anyone to bump one as they are top heavy. The design could support up to 30 lbs but they would need to be well out of the way of traffic.

I've actually found the stand to be quite stable, but I've also used it with the Goldtouch Go! Notebook stand and found that works pretty well too... though since it's meant for a laptop, even adjusted to the highest angle, the screen is angled back a bit more than one might normally use. I don't mind, but others might. There are a number of other stands for tablets and laptops that would probably works as well.

This is a Very Solid Stand. I have a 15.6 Laptop and zero issues. I used the clamps and clamped it to the back of my desk. As long as you follow the assembly instructions you should be fine. I can type of mine with no wobble at all. I have a rolling stand that is not nearly as sturdy. this unit is ALL metal...you will not be disapointed :)

Yes this is how I use it most of time. Use the heavy-duty adjustment screws to lock it into any position you want. The stand works just great!

No. I wouldn't buy a cheap stand either, the setup will be pretty top heavy.

This stand is very sturdy and I believe meant for even a professional keyboard! Hope this helps.

It is not super heavy, but I'm not sure what kind of stand you'd use - wouldn't want it to fall off!

i would feel confident that the stand would remain stable when set on solid ground; ie: pavement, wood flooring, etc. the footprint is large and the quality of the stand and its parts is top notch.

Stand is Ok. I have 2 slates and have another stand by the other vendor but both work fine. I like the other one better.

Don, I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece. Dave

Well, as far as my experience goes, it is one time use only, the screw that raises the stand height is very delicate , if u try to tight too hard, will get easily broken , base weight is not that good, as i noticed it is wobly when set on carpet. , i had issued two stands so had to spend 50 dollars for getting proper stands

I use it as a dining table for extra guests and it works perfectly. My son is using a square one as his desk/music station and it's done well there as well. I wouldn't stand on it but as a table, it's fine. Doesn't wobble.

The stand is pretty thick plastic, and I don't see it breaking without some serious knocks to it. If you are worried, I would consider looking at HP's line of monitors that mimic Apple's displays with the solid metal bases. That said, I am a photographer that does on-location shooting, and while I have yet to bring this monitor with me, I have no doubts that it will do just fine!

My application was for a motorised bicycle. I used the stand to hold the back wheel off the ground for kick starting the engine.It broke after a few runs because it couldn't take my weight kickstarting a 50cc engine. I weigh about 150#. It is a very nice stand if you don't abuse it the way I did. The hinge housing is thin cast aluminum and it just split open. If that were of stronger material or was a thicker casting it might have held up. I hope that helps you to decide.
