 Good solid stand but not worth the priceJun 09, 2010
I recently joined a band with many trombones so I see many types of stands. Overall the Hercules is a very sturdy stand, hands down. It does have a few downsides though. It does not collapse down into a manageable length, the leg lock knob does not tighten the legs although the rubber feet on the legs hold the legs in place. It holds the trombone at an angle by the slide brace rather than sliding the bell over the stand - a feature which they advertise as better for the horn, but I don't see as an advantage. Having the horn sit at an angle takes up more space in what is usually a tight spot. The mechanism for holding the slide brace is not vertically adjustable so it holds the horn at an even sharper angle. Overall it is not a bad stand but I definitely would not have paid the full $55.00 price for it - I got it for about $28.00 plus shipping on Amazon. Without the lower price option, one of the other type stands would have been my choice.

 An Ingenious design, sort of...Apr 15, 2008
Most trombone stands insert a rod into your bell and the end of the slide rests against the ground. After using the Hercules, I've realised this is not ideal. On traditional stand, the slide holds the weight, and the stand just keeps it upright (not to mention the stress on the bell). The Hercules supports the whole instruments weight by the handle, THE WAY YOU WOULD IF YOU NEVER SET IT DOWN, GENIUS! No stress on the bell or slide.
My only negative comment is that it is NOT adjustable (height wise). Not needed stand-wise, but it would be nice to adjust it to fit in my gig bag (no biggie really)
