Great design, poorly made
Drew J 04.12.2017
This stand does everything I need it too. Very well designed, easy to use, heavy but manageable. The downside is that it's not at all robust and even taking it out of the bag the first time that plastic carry handle of the stand snapped off in my hand. Not a big deal, and certainly not worth returning the thing to Germany for. Then the thread on the mic stand went smooth, within 7 or 8 shows. Then two of the legs disappeared inside the body of the stand as their spring-loaded pins fell out. It's still useable but I have shake the stand around til the legs align and drop out. The cable clips on the vertical main 'leg' broke on their first use too - just very low grade plastic.

I should add that for the first 6 months I had the stand it remained in one venue where I had a residency, so I was treated carefully and wasn't being thrown in the back of a van etc.

So I would love this stand if it was made with better materials and to a higher standard. I still have mine and I still use it, but it's become a real pain to assemble and pack away now.

it's ok
Gavin M. 22.04.2015
Stand works fine but the mic adaptor is a screw and tighten. After a few gigs the threads on the mic arm and stand were worn and I had to abandon that feature. The gig bag has a rip at the top from the same nut pushing against it. Aside from that the arms work fine, it holds an 88 key on the bottom and a 61 on top no probs. No wobble. But I am very careful with it because I don't think it can withstand vigorous road use.
I will ask about a repair as its still in warranty but the design will cause problems again I'm sure, the threads will wear again in time. At 200e I expected a better quality product and overall I wouldn't recommend it.

EF
APEX Ultimate Stand
Ewen F. 30.05.2017
I previously bought the old APEX about 12 years ago. I still have and it stood the test of time. About 3 years ago I bought the new version and it isn't a patch on the original. Had problems with it and sent it back to Thomann twice unfortunately to be fixed. Very poor stability. It's predecessor was much better!!
