The »SPIDER PRO« keyboard stand is one of our most popular products. This article contains an overview all the key information on the »SPIDER PRO« and the »BABY SPIDER PRO« and the extra accessories available.

Starting with the »SPIDER PRO« available in anodized aluminum (18860-000-30), black anodized 18860-000-35) and red (18860-000-36).
The »SPIDER PRO« is equipped with two pairs of freely extendable support arms (the upper pair is tilted at 15°).

It can be outfitted with a third pair of support arms (article 18866 (#6) or 18865 (#7)) for a third keyboard. The »SPIDER PRO« also has a 3/8″ or 5/8″ threaded connection on the upper end of the column for attaching a microphone boom or laptop rest. The column of the »SPIDER PRO« is tilted at a significant angle for easier playing and a better view of the lower keyboard. The collapsible construction of the feet offers plenty of space for pedals and optimal leg freedom.

The »SPIDER PRO« folds easily and compactly. The optional carrying case (article 18851) protects the stand and makes it easier to transport.

 

The »BABY SPIDER PRO« has one pair of extendable support arms, a 3/8” or 5/8” threaded connector for attaching microphone booms and a cable clamp for cable management. It also comes in aluminum anodized (article 18840-000-30) and in black anodized (article 18840-000-35). The »BABY SPIDER PRO« can be outfitted with an additional pair of support arms for a second keyboard. Carrying case 18846 is available separately for easy transport.

The holder connects other accessories, such as boom arm, gooseneck, iPad holder, Tablet PC (#4) holder etc.

Even more new uses for the Spider Pro:

By placing the tray (1kg) on the upper support arms of the Spider Pro now even smaller synthesizers, controllers, drum machines etc. can be used. The integrated handle can also be used for cable management. The equipment stop with an integrated edge protective strip and the anti-slip rubber end caps provide extra hold.

Lectern desk for the »Spider Pro« (model number: 18877)
With this aluminum sturdy desk you can convert your Spider Pro keyboard stand easily into a lectern. The lectern desk is simply placed on the angled upper support arms. Side lashes attach to the desk and ensure that it does not slip. The desk is equipped with integrated edge protectors and provides enough space for two side by side DIN A4 sheets.

Mounting accessories

B: Threaded bolt set (model number: 18864)
A set of two threaded bolts for mounting microphone booms to the »SPIDER PRO«” and »BABY SPIDER PRO« with (longer bolts) and without (shorter bolts) a laptop rest.

Adapter for »Spider Pro« (model number: 18853)
More options for your Spider Pro or Baby Spider Pro: The metal adapter plate is simply mounted under the plastic cover. The 3/8″ threaded bolt connection expands the range of Spider Pro uses. You can also securely attach heavy booms and sheet music holders.

 

When mounting accessories, the following information on possible combinations is important:

If two additional pairs of support arms are attached to the »SPIDER PRO« for a total of four tiers, neither the sheet music holder nor the iPad holder can be mounted as well. The sheet music or iPad holder can be mounted in addition to the usual two tiers and, depending on how the keyboards are to be played, also with three support tiers. The laptop rest and microphone boom can be mounted individually and at the same time.

FAQ

What is the maximum load capacity of the support arms?
Load capacity per support arm: 35 kg. Total load capacity of base: 105 kg.

Can I place a laptop on the top tier?
Yes, since the launch of the 18876 tray for controller keyboard in 2015, it is possible. By placing the tray on the upper support arms of the »Spider Pro« now even smaller synthesizers, controllers, drum machines etc. can be used.

How big the “Spider Pro” is when folded?
The total volume is 1215 mm. The carrying case is: 1280 x 180 x 185 mm.

How does cable management work?
The cables run along the side of the column and can be fixed with the cable clamps that come with the stand.

Can the “Baby Spider Pro” also be played when standing?
The maximum height of the “Baby Spider Pro” is 1 meter so it can also be played comfortably when standing. If an additional pair of support arms is mounted though, these cannot be attached at the top. So a person’s height determines whether he or she can play standing up.

    Hi I have I have purchased 2 of these spider keyboard stands the first one I had the bottom where frame Structure supporting the 4 legs developed a craic that got worse over time so that was a hazard , I bought a second one but now after a few months I noticed is leaning to on side slightly when folded out out on a flat surface I’ve checked the level of the flour and numerous flours to be sure , I just use a Yamaha motif es 6 on it and that’s well below the 105 kg limit you have on it .

    When I lifted the stand upside down I noticed the back legs are looser then the front when rotating the legs to unfold would are way looser you have spare parts for the inside of the legs at the centre structure ? It’s looks to some sort of plastic piece ? I could unscrew the legs and pop two of them In.

    Yours faithfully

    Jonathan
