Just wondering how it compares to the fully adjustable version? This one has a set folded position by the looks of it. Could be a good thing
Thats just the standard version innit? unless originally it didn’t come with teh subtray?

i thought this ^^^ one was the standard one? maybe im just a noob haha
i’m pretty sure the standard one has a tray, just that it’s non adjustable
It’s foldable, looks cheaper than the original though without the clamps. I’m guessing it folds out like an uberstand to a set position.
I think I prefer my old classic Crane stand. It was expensive, but it’s solid and works great. I did get the sub tray with mine, but I never use the thing lol…
^ i read comments in Amazon said that these new Crane standards stands are made in China?
anyone can confirm this since i’m very interested to get the standard ones
From their website
Almost everything is made/assembled in china these days so it makes sense if they are aiming for mass production now.
mass production should they be able to lower their cost for abit…i guess the Amazon people was right..but do the quality would be the same as the original made in the USA? i’m not sure..
Well, they are charging half the price for this one and don’t offer a lifetime warranty like with the original (now called Pro). You can still get the old one if you want to play it safe.
I’m guessing it’s steel based, aluminum drives costs up pretty fast. They have a name to live up to so I don’t think they are stupid enough to throw away it so easily.
Things made in China aren’t necessarily low quality. Don’t judge a product by it’s origin.
^ absolutely, it depends on some items…Yamaha HS80M are made in china, i have them & they’re great!
well, if the steel click stopper is durable enough i’m going to buy it & use them as a cdj stand…the height are just perfect & lots of clearance below. anyone can confirm on how is the click stopper in real situation, does it ‘moving/wobble’ when the stand are rocked/shaken/try to pull apart?
Only Crane Pro in limited edition is still made in USA. Everything else → China.
And the prices are same - you figure it out.
Bussines, folks…
^ damn…hmm that’s some kind of rip off.
still contemplating whether i should get this or not…in fact i dont really care where it was built nowadays, just would like to justify the price for that thing & the design really gets my attention. it’s just like an ikea product…simple, unique & useable.
I have both. Spend the extra $$$ & get the nicer one. Well worth it. I picked up mine on ebay for around 125 shipped.
Looking back I wasted $75 bucks on the cheaper one IMO.
