Looking for Stand Recommendation

[DDF]

Can anyone recommend a professional tripod style speaker stand (eg type used for live gigs) with a platform on top suitable to use for speaker measurements? Time to replace the 8' aluminum ladder with something easier to use

Looking for something> 6' ideally at least 8', for outdoor use

Thanks in advance!

I've got the stand closed up a bit to fit in the corner. I use a nylon strap to hold the speaker on the stand top. The top is black painted 3/4 inch plywood.

Thanks John, didn't know they made "top hats". This one looks like it'll work well for performing of axis measurements

Time to retire the ladder!

BTW, what are your speakers on the stand? Looks like a nice concept

Dave those speaker at the Latus1, there's a link in my signature and they are over in PE's project showcase.

For the top hats, I went with the ones where I could turn the speaker and lock in one position. I had trouble with long heavy speaker wires moving the speaker.

John, the Latus1 looks like a nice speaker, and nice write up. I've always wanted to design something like this with the side firing woofer doing duty a bit higher up. Looks great

Thanks, I'm glad I built it and learned a lot about off axis woofer mid integration. Picking a larger mid would have allow me to push the x-o below 200 which would made this a bit easier.
