I ran into the problem of my usual tripod beeing to weak for a new speaker I was building.
So I first thought about building a new one by my self. Anyway, this would have been a week long project for it self, getting the materials, designing it retracable for storage etc.
At a local discounter I ran into a stand for bike repairs. To cut a long story short, for the 50$ it's regular price was, I would not even been able to buy the steel tubing used. It even was at close out sale for 20$...
Fixing a platform for the speaker from some spare wood was done in a few minutes and I was ready to measure. I do measure speakers in the open if weather permits, so such a solid piece of equipment is great for the garden. The model I picture here is identical to mine and really heavy steel at ca. 15lbs/ 7.5kg. Secure speaker position can be as high as 5 feet/ 1.6 meter, which makes for a microfone position at 1.8-2 meter.
A bonus: If you do not measure speaker, it is a great help for bike repairs, adjusting gear change mechanism and converting bikes to E-bikes.
A professional loudspeaker stand is another option, but the ones with a wind up mechanism, which I would prefer, are much more expensive.

Using a speaker stand was my first idea Lol.
I just wanted to show an alternative, which may work well for some and be readily aviable. The nice thing about the bike stand, it already has this horizontal beam. You only fix a piece of wood with one or two screws into the plastic clamp and have a solid platform for your speaker...
