Looking for (extremely) portable stand if one exists

Hi, I'm planning on working remotely this year, and I want to keep up with practice (just an amateur setting this up in a corporate apartment kind of deal)
I'm wondering if there is any tech out there for a fairly portable keyboard stand that would support a Stage 2. Something that might break down into segments that I could fit into a large suitcase, or a dedicated bag of some kind. In my perfect world there was some kickstarter project that came up with something similar to the camera tripod world magically folding down. I know I'm likely dreaming but thought I'd ask

A while back I purchased the Peak Music Stands SX-10D to have something light (and cheap) to take to practice. The top pieces separate from the bottom and fit in a small bag together weighing less than 3.2kg. It holds the weight securely however I wouldn't suggest using it in a live situation without installing a hand screw to secure the height adjustment. The SX-20 for $60 US looks to be a little more robust with a better locking mechanism at

Hi!
Welcome to the forum.
Which Nord Stage 2 SW 73 / HA 76 / HA 88 keys do you use?
The awesome Nord Keyboard Stand EX is designed for HA (76 / 88).
The two parts are mounted as a permanent part of the keyboard and the four legs with two struts can be easily disassembled and transported separately.

Not aware of anything super small and compact. My favourite small(ish) gigging stand is Hercules KS400B, which folds down to roughly medium suitcase size. Spec says folded size is 705 mm x 605 mm x 175 mm (27.7" x 23.8" x 6.9").

K&M 18880 is my personal favorite. It won't fit in a bag, but is probably the lightest you can buy. I just rest it over my keyboard bag to carry it in/out.

+1 for k&m 18880. This is my favourite when I need to get to locations at city centers on foot. If you don‘t use 2nd tiers it’s even small and weighs less than 3 kilos.

I'm thinking a bag of these dimensions might work. Only $15.99.

I play standing and therefore have the 18880 in a high position, use the K&M 18959 for it. The 18880 fits well, the bag is just a bit too wide but still ok
