Gibraltar 4709 Lightweight Boom Stand

This Lightweight Boom stand is way too light. If you extend the stand to the max you can only put a small splash cymbal on it, otherwise you will have stability problems. Each time you hit the cymbal, you fear it will fall down. This is not at all in line with the great quality of other Gibraltar products. If I had to do it again, I would buy a normal Gibraltar stand, not this one which is much too light.

As usual, very satisfied with Thomann service of course.

Simplicity and effectiveness is good definition for Gibraltar 4709 Lighweight boom stand. Stand is very light and easy to carry, boom arm can be fold up into stands tube. Generally not designed for heavy hitters, can hold 10" tom but it's not very stable then. Perfect for lighter gigs in clubs and pubs.
This stand is good choice if you need simply and light stand for gigs, or to add some crashes/ effect cymbals to your set. Price is very affordable and I didn't have any probems with it since I bought it almost two years.

Amazing quality product for the price. Although it is made for a cymbal, I will use it as a light stand with manfrotto umbrella adapter.

The stand is somewhat sturdy and folds easily to a at least relatively small space. However, it does make a lot of noise for studio use with heavier cymbals on it (eg. anything bigger/heavier than a 17" crash) and loses its balance a lot more easily. The build quality seems convincing, and it is efficiently adjustable. For gigging as stand for a small crash etc, it is surprisingly lightweight and useable for the price.

Great quality for the price. Stability became a bit of an issue when I switched to a bit heavier cymbals but I fixed that by making custom bags that go on the legs and filled them with sand,works perfectly.
Maybe the best for the money.

High quality stand for my 18" crash. Its easy to transport and assemble, however its a bit wobbly with heavier cymbals which is understandable. Great overall.

Good stable crash stand. The boom goes into the main tubing so it can work as a straight stand as well.

The main gripe is a lack of memory locks which really speeds up setup.

Really nice, very light weight, but sturdy enough to firmly hold a tom and a cymbal.
Everything feels solid. Great for gigging. Hopefully it'll last for years, but we'll see.

Great quality for affordable price sums up every Gibraltar product pretty much. This stand is no exclusion - it works just fine for all your applications, just don't use it for heavy cymbal while extending boom and height to a max.
