It is too much, but they can get away with it because the Pro is superior to any laptop stand out there.
I'm more than happy with my Magma ( |

| Audrey Pinda 21.05.2013 | I won't trust my laptop on anything else. And the screech of the crane as you are folding it up or unfolding it? You can hear that over the loudest of speakers lol |
| Wilson Durrum 16.05.2013 | I loosen the tension knob enough where the middle joints were exposed, spray a little WD40 in and worked the joints back and forth, worked like a charm. Thanks! |

Maybe slacken off the joints a little by turning the quick release backwards a couple of times before fastening it back into the locked position. That might sort the squeeking without th euse of any lube. |
| Wilson Durrum 10.05.2013 | I was going to use WD-40 but I could not find a place to spray. Where do you lube the stand at? I do not see a place where it would get inside the joints. |

| Kyra Ramquist 10.05.2013 | A lot of people say the Uberstand tips over easily, unless you tie it down with a strap. Sorry, but I just don't trust a stand that has such a design flaw. I'd like to not have to worry about my $2500 laptop falling and damaging. And I actually liked the Magma (and all the copies of it) at first, but I believe having to screw it apart for gigs constantly eventually put me off. Also finding the proper height-adjustable version (Odyssey LSTAND Mobile) was difficult in Europe, although I see you're from the UK so maybe you did find a good deal. |

| Sook Kitaoka 10.05.2013 | I really like Crane Stand Pro, and it's been stable every time I've used it as long as I clamped down the hinges tight. I've never had a tipping problem, but I suppose you could tip it over if you didn't have something under it (like a controller) to keep the leg from moving. Unlike the Stanton Uberstand, the whole stand will have to tip at once (if it tips), the hinges don't move unless you unlock them so it stays one solid unit until you unlock the hinges. UDG just announced a laptop stand called the "Creator" and it has all the features of a Crane Stand Pro, plus the extra added feature of a height adjuster (like a mic stand). I imagine it's not as stable (it's free to swivel left and right) even though it has two (same-side facing) feet. It's also $20 more... which might be worth the price if you're looking for the ability to change the height by a couple of inches or swivel the stand a little bit. I haven't noticed any need for this, but you might. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 09.05.2013 | I bought the standard for about 40 shipped I believe. Maybe even less. 150 is too much for the Pro IMO. |
| Emelina Chillson 09.05.2013 | Crane or gtfo! |
| Kyra Ramquist 09.05.2013 | The picture shows the Pro model though, you just bought the Standard model which usually goes for $65-80, not the $120 Amazon advertises. The Standard only has one position, whereas the Pro can bend to any position. But the Pro is still $150... |

| Alphonso Deitchman 22.04.2013 | A small amount of lube (I used GT85) does wonders for the adjustable joints on the Crane Pro. |
| Johnie Ranges 22.04.2013 | I'm getting one for sure! |
| Jeannine Drobney 22.04.2013 | Crane pro is legit for macbook 17. It has the moutain bike quick release for easy and stable adjustment locking. |

| Leeanna Ayla 22.04.2013 | Crane regardless of what country it's made in. |
| Ervin Calvery 22.04.2013 | Crane is where it's at. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 22.04.2013 | Destroys the Uberstand. Lots of reviews say the Uberstand is not stable. I could hold an Xone 42 on my Crane stand without issue. |
| Latoria Kavulich 22.04.2013 | what do you believe. this is 8kg mate |
