I bought one of these initially for a Novation MiniNova, it was a convenient stand for a very limited floorspace. I've since come into possession of a Tascam 32SD portastudio, quite a heavy piece of equipment. It's now sitting on the Gravity stand in my nanostudio. The stand is just about able to cope with the weight of the portastudio (an impressive 6.2kg) without slipping. I don't know how it would take anything much heavier, I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try. I've ordered a second on so I can have my MiniNova next to my desk, with a bit of creative use of clamp-on stand trays (e.g., Item Number 488217) and some cheap laptop stands from Amazon I'll be able to create a bespoke gear stand to hold four modules - drum machine, two synths and a groovebox.
