Ouch!

 

I don't use an X for my bottom board, which by a glance, looks the same as the one in question in the video. But there are some pretty beefy X's out there that can easily support 60 pounds. Beefy X

 

I prefer a platform for many reasons, but if X floats your boat, it can definitely be done with an XS8.

Looking to sell it still.... almost giving it away anymore.

 

I'll take some pics of my rig at tonight's gig and we can see if we are really gear twins? ;)

I have that X and no way would I put a 60 lb board on it, even with a strap, I don't care what they say, X's are for light boards only.

Nah. . . I thought X's were for ironing your shirts

Can´t understand why some keyboardists dont use a security string. Make your own. Costs nothing, saves money and anxiety

 

:thu:

 

Yep, I use a nice wide nylon strap, works perfect (well at least I hope so!)

I copped a nice heavy-duty strap from a hardware store; 200-pound capacity, IIRC.

Yeah, it's hard getting noticed sometimes.

Quite frankly, I prefer the look (look only) of some x-stands to this one. A bit too much "kitchen table" for my tastes.

Quiklok double-braced X stands have a load rating of 260 lbs, I believe. More than enough juice. That's more weight than the Z stand posted above can handle, in fact.
Actually, the base of that Z is rated at 400lbs....

Depends on the kitchen... :laugh:
