Generic speaker stands.

I found them under the names Zenstyle, Segawe, Vivo, HomGarden, Zeny, Duronic, and Smartxchoices.

I bit the bullet really hard to buy these stands. Cannot recommend them given the price of $169. Was $149 when I bought.

I ended up getting two Odyssey LTP6 light stands with 4-bolt T-Bar.

In addition, purchased two Pedco Ultra Clamp Assemblies which I them clamped onto the end of the T-Bar.

The light stands will extend to about 9' high and I opted to go for the T-Bar because mounting the lighthouse on the end of the bar allowed it to extend out to the edge of where the legs of the stand extended. This basically made the area viewed by the lighthouses more "cubic".

So far, I've not had any issues with tracking, they can be put at a fairly good distance away from one another and make sure your play area leaves a small buffer to try and keep people from getting too close to them. Bumping into them, of course, will cause them to wobble, but on a nice flat surface, have had no problems with even the lighthouses internal mechanism vibrating or anything. Everything clamped down nice and tightly.

Do you have room for something like these next to your desk?

Edit: forgot to even check if they're available in uk :|

I use these for my desktop, but they take up quite a bit of space.

If you can afford it, these are also pretty great.

They're the first stands I've ever had but I like them, seen very stable and sturdy.

You pretty much have three options. Put the speakers on the floor (probably don’t do this), get a tripod style speaker stand or go with a pole that mounts in your sub.
I personally prefer the poles that mount inside the subs because they take up less space overall.

Thanks! I just started trying to piece together something approaching an actual home studio. I have a whole mess of guitars and pedals around the rest of the room.

The stands were free when I bought the JBL LSR 305s but I think they're these.

The controller is an Akai MPD218. It's my first proper MPD controller and I honestly love it. I'd only used the shitty ones that come with midi keyboards and had no idea they actually made ones aren't terrible.

There are some really inexpensive (but quite heavy) pneumatic self-raising speaker stands available on Amazon right now.

No bag. I'm using the bags from my old stands.

Does it have to be a pole, or are you just looking for an adjustable support? You can buy all sorts of sturdy adjustable tripod stands like this speaker stand

Here's 16x11 without a lip. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAH10K4/

The full Index bundle comes with some kind of mount/stand, but I don't know much about them. My Index kit was the $749 bundle, so I just reused my existing Vive Lighthouse 1.0 units.

Those are attached to some DJ stands I picked up years ago.

Honestly any wall mount for cameras or such should work, even a Rift Sensor mount. The Rift Sensors and Lighthouse Basestations all use standard mounting standard 1/4" threads. So pretty much standard camera equipment mounts work. (Including lighting stands, if you don't want to drill into your walls.)

I believe they are Pro Line adjustable monitor stands:

I knew I forgot something, here you go: DR Pro Wood Stand

If needed, they have a hole in the top that you can fill with sand to really weigh them down. Kind of a cool feature.

Thanks, yeah, everything I've read seems to indicate that a bolt should never fail by stripping, but rather by breaking or stretching.

I'm not sure this is the exact model, but it's very much like this, in particular this bit (although really the other side of this view would be better). Basically the part I've shown fits into a plastic shaft collar. There's an inlay for a nut to fit on the other side and the bolt shown screws into that and tightens the shaft collar. Without it tightened, the stand has some kind of internal springs that lift it to full height.

Basically my requirements are a bolt that will fit in the diameter of the hole, and a nut that will fit snugly in the hex inlay. Should be simple enough, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.

I'm a little late to replying, but my boyfriend and I have the 9'x8' tent, which is about 48 lbs excluding the tent stakes (we've replaced with military stakes). We are planning on flying as well, and successfully folded just the canvas portion of our tent into this duffel bag. We also were able to put our ground tarp in there, along with both of our very fluffy sleeping bags, our self inflating mattress pads, and self inflating pillows. I was honestly shocked. The entire bag came out to 46 lbs, and is perfectly 62".

For the tent poles, we bought this. We literally just put the bag that the tent poles came in, into this speaker bag, along with our military stakes. There is more room to spare in this speaker bag and we will be padding it all with our large jackets and other clothes. The dimensions for this speaker bag is 65" but we won't be overstuffing it and it will likely be pretty flat, so I'm hoping it will not be considered oversized...

Merry Christmas OP!

I'm trying to get DJ equipment to start my dream of being a DJ. It's kinda already started because through lots of legwork and thrift-store shopping I managed to get some barely-passable home audio stuff, but it can't take the strain of DJing and can't be used for anything larger than ~40 people. I've had to turn down gigs because of it and judging by how frickin' hot it gets after I play for a few hours, it's going to be dead soon.

I made an Amazon list of what I need to buy to be at a semi-professional level. The cheapest thing that's independently useful would be the microphone, I believe, but literally anything is greatly appreciated, even if it's just a cord for something I don't have yet or something. The speakers are the most important thing by far, but they're extremely expensive.

Not going for a sob story here, but rather explanation of why I don't have money to spend on this stuff - I've got no family and I've got Lyme's Disease which I wasn't allowed to treat back when I had a family (strictly against modern medicine) and now can't treat because of an error made on my government-provided health insurance that's so far been going on for 8 months and is yet to be fixed. Lyme destroys your joints, so standing and walking for a retail job (not yet out of college) is extremely painful for days afterwards. Once I get treatment I'm going to put my nose to the grindstone and get two jobs to finance it, but still, anything helps. If you go through my post history you'll see mention of a few Christmas gifts, specifically a set of headphones, and those are from friends. I really really really appreciate them because they put a lot of thought into them and read reviews and all, but I wound up not being able to use them, but instead returned them and spent the money on a professional set of headphones, which is why there are no headphones on that list of links.
