A decent lightweight guitar stand?

@Diplock - thanks for the Cooper pro reference, just ordered one.

I use a wall mount at home and most gigs I take a foldable stool that has a stand built in. I’m old and will park a bun on the stool every now and again during a set.

I bought and use the Cooperstand Dual when I take an acoustic guitar and a bass out on the deck or to jam with the locals. I love it’s design and low profile.

I used to carry a Fender mini stand for gigs. It wore out and I didn’t replace it.

Just to say that I bought this. Its just turned up. Lightweight, folds down to almost nothing, yet very sturdy! I like it so much Im going to buy another one! :)
If anyone is going to buy similar I would just say make sure you dont buy the acoustic guitar version- they look very similar and I nearly bought the wrong one.

@StyleOverShow thank you for talking about the Cooper Dual. I've been thinking about one but never seem to get around to pulling the trigger. I'm mostly playing an ABG and often bring an electric bass too so it's something I'd use.
 
I don't like the lower-bout style for bars -- I'm too paranoid about a bump to the headstock tipping it over. But that's the style I leave at the rehearsal space, and have anoter in a gigbag pocket. For shows, I wanted one that could easily be strapped to the side of my gig bag, so I went with the Ultimate/Mephis style:
