Received my
Stoney's Stands "Hover Mode" stand the other day, here are some thoughts and pics.
Purchase was easy and shipping quick, just messaged them on Instagram and sent Paypal payment. Here's what came:
Opened up, there are two main plates, some instructions and two height options as described.
The top part of the stand has cushioned foam to help keep the vehicle in place. There's a warning in the instructions that it can "stick" to the bottom and it's accurate, so when lifting it off you want to make sure you pull the stand off so it doesn't hang and fall.
I went with the lower height setting considering my setup is already high in the air. I need all the stability I can get.
The pieces put together, no tools needed really.
Here you can see everything peeled and ready to go. The front of the vehicle goes where the four strips are which should allow the bottom of the Delorean to rest evenly.
Note this is NOT a flat placement photo, I am holding the vehicle at an angle to show where it sits on the foam. The second pic shows the flat placement and it seems to hold the Delorean quite snugly.
Here it is flat on the padding.
Here are some pics. This is NOT a permanent location as I'd like to get it a little closer to the floor. I've made sure the cabinet is attached to the wall and I've got Earthquake/Museum putty holding the stand up so there's as little chance of it falling as possible.
A better pic of the underside. So far, I think this is my only minor gripe with the stand as it covers up the animated green hover mode light. I could potentially remove the foam padding and perhaps get it to show but I'd rather have the extra cushioning than worry about the lights for now.
NOTE: It appears the black padding can be removed and 3M "bump-ons" could easily be placed to allow the animated green lights below. I plan to do this.
Overall, I'm quite happy with it for what it is. I'd prefer to get a full blown case to cover it but I'd still prefer this height/angle from the Stoney's Stand, so if I can find or make something to cover it, that would be ideal. Even if it ends up being temporary, it feels worth the $70. It's sturdy, came well packaged and looks good. Thanks again for the recommendation
