Premium Members John Stout Posted April 13, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ours arrived the other day. It is great. We got the 14" version and like it a lot. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Meller Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Could anyone please measure the length of the stand when its collapsed? And is there a difference in length between the 12 and 14- base version? Appreciate your help!

Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 The backstage wheels are really the ones to get: http://www.backstageweb.com/New%20Products.htm They make rolling over cables, etc easy. They also give you a super wide heavy base. Not for every situation though, I actually have a single riser stand with the hard wheels and a double riser with the pneumatics and I use them both all the time. If going without wheels definitely get the wider base and the two rise. Otherwise it will often seem a little short and you will need a sandbag more often.

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I always enjoy watching assistants negotiate doorways with the wheels and a hill docking bracket. Also cool to see the beating the rig takes as it goes over cables/cobblestone/potholes/homeless people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 It is important to instruct them on how to move it(one leg forward, sled towards your body) and set some limits. Even if your taking the sled off when moving it still seems loads easier to me to move the stand with wheels. The big wheels are definitely not for tight locations though. I mainly use the smaller wheels to widen the base and add a little height to my single riser stand. The small wheels are a rougher ride for the sled than the big ones but the big ones do give people ideas of taking the sled places they probably shouldn't.

Premium Members William Demeritt Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I swapped out my wheels for the Ben Hur chariot wheels... No survivors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 On a serious note...bigger Ben Hur wheels sure make travel over bumps and cables (and homeless) like butta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am more interested on electrifying my stand to keep well meaning people from moving the stand while I have the rig up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted September 9, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I like pneumatic wheels (or the soft rubber wheels, foam filled, etc), but they make the stand a LOT heavier. I've got hard rubber wheels on there right now, very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
