Gibraltar's 8700 Series flat-base cymbal stand delivers stability without the tripod footprint. Manufactured by Gibraltar, a maker known for hardware that prioritises rigidity and repeatability, this straight stand features a brake tilter that locks cymbal angle in place once dialled in. The flat base sits solid on any floor, cutting stage footprint without sacrificing stand security. The brake tilter mechanism engages smoothly and holds tilt angles reliably across repeated gigs and studio sessions. Tube construction throughout the stand's boom and vertical post resists flex under the weight of heavy cymbals. Height adjusts to suit different playing positions and kit layouts. The cymbal felts and sleeves protect cymbal edges from wear, while the die-cast components at the base and tilter joint carry the load without flex or rattle.
