Minoura RS-5000 Pro Reviews
Description:
Improved in 2004, the RS-5000 has a new head unit that is more versatile and easier to use than ever before. With added adjustable clamp height (36 to 60) this stand is made to fit anybody, and the titanium grey anodized finish practically makes this Shop Art; if it werent so functional. The adjustable clamp jaw allows your project to
rotate 360 degrees and the whole unit folds down to a mere 38L x 7.5H, 11lbs. Made in Japan.

Pros
Easy to use clamp, mine came with a tool tray, even my 50 pound tandem is supported, folds easily and compactly.
Cons
The legs are right where I want to stand when I am putting in a non-drive side bottom bracket cup/non-drive crank arm.
Review
For a folding stand this is one of the best. Folds small and easily, nice and sturdy in use. It goes higher than the park folding stands, and just a hair shorter then the ULTIMATE folding stands. Mine has a tray for the top of the stand, holds tools and a bottle of IPA quite well.

I have this under the Performance brand name. It works great, and you can usually get it for around $100 on sale.
