I am a huge fan of Ultimate Support. I have used them for over thirty years. One thing to note about the TS-110BL - the air powered charge may fail, and that it not covered by the lifetime warranty. I have 6 of these, and one has failed, so the probability is low. The failed stand still works as a manual list stand thou. Thanks for the videos!
I also like a higher height but I also use speaker tilts for 2 reasons: 1) it focuses the highs on the audience for better coverage 2) it reduces the reflections on the ceiling and walls You just have to be sure that the legs are wide enough to keep the stand from tipping over. Sand bags are also very helpful. I promise you that you will notice the audio difference!
Love my Flex stands. I have four now. I use them for lighting on smaller shows. Add a short pole and I can mount Chauvet DJ 155s down low with either PARs or more 155s up in the air. Pretty slick!
Hey dude, thanks for these videos. I'm thinking of doing something very similar! How did you learn the trade, have you been employed as a technician with a company, or did you start yourself and learn through research and doing? I used to work as an AV technician, as well as a musician and school, so I know a bit about running systems, mixing, and AV, but there's still a lot I feel I have to learn in order to provide a more full and professional set of services. I have about $30k to start the business, and am considering speakers, subs, monitors, a mixer, microphones, stands, cables, snakes, peripherals, a vehicle, you name it, all the stuff, haha. I'm just curious how you approached it, whether you started with a small investment, or if you were able to make your purchases all at once, cause it seems like you have quite a nice setup. Thanks again, take care of your body working with all the heavy gear and wish you the best with your business.
@@SilverCreekAudio it’s part #14929. I was thinking of buying these stands til I saw some comments saying sometimes that screw strips and won’t hold the pole in and expands slowly. I remember someone saying to change the screw to a lever. I went with gator ID stands for that reason.
The old standards, Shure SM57's and SM58's. They're the workhorses of live events for instruments (57's) and vocals (58's). Plenty of other options too.
@@SilverCreekAudioYes, Shure is a sure option but be careful. There are a lot of knock offs out there. Do not buy them from eBay or even Amazon third party stores. I would trust a pro audio shop like Sweetwater or Guitar center (but don’t buy used ones there)
You mention in one of your videos another content creator who gives good info on speaker placement and height. I can't find it now, can you reference the channel or video?

Good info Doug! I've wondered how long the air lift systems would last. Thanks for watching!

Not sure if you use Gravity Speaker cable clips, but they are super cheap and do such a great job cleaning up your setup.
I've Broken the telelock ring on the TS99... it was Great when I had to use them..but I upgraded to the TS110 and love them!
The 110 rules! Thanks for watching!

Yes! These are becoming one of my favorites. They're so slick. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you for sharing the info!
Thanks for watching Carlos!
Those flat base stands look really interesting.
Hey Greg! They are really cool. Super versatile and feel very sturdy and safe. Thanks for watching!

Just picked up the Ultimate support speaker stands. Did you mark them so when you aren’t using them at 9 feet they’re even?
The truth... I just eye ball it man!
You can buy cam levers for your stands so you won’t strip those hand screws.
Thats awesome, I had no idea! Thanks for the tip!

@@Elniniss Those Gator IDs look cool! I'll look into those.
this helped me make my decision. thank you!
Awesome to hear it helped! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff!
Thanks for watching Cletus!
can you recomend good 100$ mic for live events ?
The old standards, Shure SM57's and SM58's. They're the workhorses of live events for instruments (57's) and vocals (58's). Plenty of other options too.
Totally agree! Shure is the old faithful workhorse!
@@Richard1977 Yeah the Sennheisers are great options too. Here in the US, the e8xx's are $90-$100, while the e9xx's are $185-$200.

Sure! It's Michael Curtis. He's got a great video on speaker placement for live events. Thanks for watching man.
Does the flex stand pole screw into your subs?
I believe they are M20 poles, so yes.
How tall are you?
Thanks bro
Thanks for watching!
