The Ultimate Support JamStands JS-500 is a basic single-braced X-style keyboard stand from the JamStands series, designed for portability and lightweight stage use.

Key features

• Type: X-style (single brace) keyboard stand
• Material: Steel frame
• Height range: ~665 mm – 995 mm (about 25.25" – 38.5")
• Load capacity: up to 100 lbs (45.4 kg)
• Weight: ~6–7 lbs (2.8–3.2 kg)
• Adjustments: 5 height positions with large adjustment knob
• Portability: folds flat for easy transport/storage
• Protection: rubber end caps to avoid scratching instruments

What it’s good for

• Small to medium keyboards (61–76 keys easily; some 88-key lightweight boards depending on balance)
• Bedroom studios, rehearsal setups, and gigging where light weight + low cost matter more than extreme stability
• Musicians needing a simple “set up and go” stand

Limitations

• Single-brace design = less stable than double-X or Z-frame stands
• Not ideal for heavy 88-key hammer-action keyboards used aggressively on stage
• Basic padding and adjustment system (not premium tier)

Bottom line

The JS-500 is a budget, entry-level gigging stand—reliable, portable, and strong enough for most mid-weight keyboards, but not meant for heavy professional touring rigs or ultra-stable studio setups.
