Take a look at the OnStage ACT5000 stand
The stand arrived and appears to be identical to the pictures of the TMB stand. Same price range. They rate it at 1000lbs, which is well more than I’ll ever need, but less than TMB claims. It works as intended, and should last as long as one might need such a thing. Welds are fine - not pretty, but completely serviceable. It’s aluminum and easy to carry.
Interestingly, the ACT5000 stand is not listed on their current website, so I don’t know if I got a stock item and they are no longer making them? In one sense, It doesn’t matter as I don’t need another. But, with shortages and delays everywhere, including TMB, I was just glad to find an available solution.
