Steadiplay Stand

[New Yorker]

Bought mine last summer and, so far, it's been great. Feels more like a purpose-built rig than a wheel stand. I posted a review on amazon.com here:

I do recall seeing this rig posted somewhere before. Solid looking for sure but if I remember they were a bit pricey.

**edit** found the price, $360 is a tad pricey

Looks cool but way to expensive for a wheel stand. Def good for peeps with limited space.

$360 seems a lot to me.
Any photos with a wheel and pedals attached?

To me too. I'll not looking for a rig in the next future, because I got my Rinoseat last month.

Here is a photo.

I see it eliminates the problem of a support pole which you have to straddle on a WSP.

I use my WSP with a car seat combo and have never had a problem so far with the pole.

I see the price has gone up; I paid $300 last summer. It does sound like a lot, but when you realize that it feels and works like a solid, dedicated rig - with no center post - the price seems (seemed?) reasonable to me.

I feel like I have a big rig that quickly folds down and virtually disappears. But yeah, $360 isn't cheap.

I totally understand dude, and for people who need a wheel stand its definitely one of the best. I started on wheel stands long ago but now I have an entire room dedicated to my rig so I don't need them any more. they definitely have their place though. Just thought the price was a bit high, but it is extremely versatile for sure.

Seems like one of those fold up work bench things to me lol.

Exactly my thought, although these types of foldups definitely have there place. I could make one of these in my woodshop in a few hours, MDF and then send it off to get powder coated.

I think you guys are being a bit harsh, I think this product definitely has its place. Not to us but to him and many many others.

As far as being able to make something as good that may be so but you're definitely in the minority. I think stediplay has done an excellent engineering job.

Only thing I think is wrong with it is the price, but even that is relative. If someone thinks it's worth it to them then it is. Everyone always says "I can build it better myself".and then feel the need to rub it in the OPs face. I don't think it looks like a workbench at all.

I agree this product is very well built without a doubt, my point is MDF is very cheap and to get it Powder coated might cost $75. In other words this product could easily be priced $100 lower.

I definitely was not trying to rub the OP face in it BTW, sorry if you thought otherwise.

Yeah for sure, but many people don't have the time or the idea of where to do something like that which is most of the population.

At times I'd rather pay someone to do it because I don't have the time or don't really want to take the time. I'm paying right now to have a button box made even though I could probably do it. I'd rather just send the paypal and receive the goods, its worth the extra $100 to me.

Bit pricey but it looks cool and folds up nicely. Reminds me of my first rig I built.
