The Turning Point Cymbal Stands were designed to address two specific issues regarding cymbal stands: weight, and ease of use. The weight of these stands has been greatly reduced due to Gibraltar's use of L-grade aluminum. The design also gives the stability of double-braced legs, but with the lighter weight of single-braced legs.Gibraltar has also developed a new way to hold the cymbals onto the stand: the SwingNut. A wing nut is no longer required; just push down on the spring-loaded tilter, flip the top to the vertical position, put on the cymbal and the felt, and flip the top to the horizontal position.Gibraltar 9700-Series stands also have several other professional features: The 'Super-Lock' hinged height adjustment, no metal-on-metal contact, cast collar tripod adjustment, round feet, and a brake-style tilter which contains no gears.
