D'Addario Mic Stand Accessory System Starter Kit with Gear Tray, Cup Holder & Tip Jar

Pricey, compared to other mic stand trays, but worth it! I have been playing for over 50 years and hadn't seen this before - it is SO handy! It attaches with a base on the mic stand and the different components attach to that. The base stays on the mic stand and the other parts clip on and off easily. It is plastic, but seems very well built. The size is smaller than most mic stand trays I've seen, but is just right for holding a capo, phone, cleaning cloth - and the cup holder is great! If you are playing in a situation where tips aren't appropriate, you can leave that "tip jar" off, or do what I did: drape a cleaning cloth over it.

I've gone through quite a few mic stand trays the last few years, some obviously better than others, but this one gets the Gold Star. Anyone reading this review, you need not look any further for a tray to serve your needs. It's an all-in-one tray that handles practically anything you would reasonably want to put on/in it. It's plastic but well made and the accessories snap right into place. It's also highly portable in that it's easily disassembled. The only thing missing (IMHO) is a storage bag for transport. It costs a lot, but worth every penny.

I use a Hercules music stand holding an iPad. It has no place for accessories. After looking at many accessory trays, I choose this one. I wish it had a couple of specialized attachments otherwise it serves my purpose perfectly.

Got tired of those Gator Frameworks trays. They never actually screw onto the mic stand properly and the plastic is always cracking so you have to replace them nearly every year. Stumbled on this piece of kit and I am pretty well pleased. The mounting system is perfect. This thing is FAR sturdier than the Gator tray. I like that accessories slide on but I wish they were a bit tighter. They come off in transport. Not a huge deal but I will probably wind up with some glue or velcro to hold them in place. When at a gig, they're fine. The cup holder is a little on the smaller side. I wish it was big enough for an insulated water bottle. Nitpicking I know but it's a thing. All the things you can attach to this in different configurations make it so much better than anything else I've tried. For an extra $15, you can have this starter kit over the Gator Frameworks and not only have a better designed unit but also incredibly more durable. I doubt I will need to buy one again. Great solution I would highly recommend to any gigging musician.

Love this contraption. It is easy to put on and take off, and such a great tool for holding a few harmonicas, a setlist, phone, extra picks, and any other small items you might need during your set! The rubber bottom is perfect so things don't slide. I never seem to forget it on stage, which blows my mind. I must like it too much!!

Very helpful for holding my harmonicas and beers.

Exactly what I wanted with good quality.

I’ve had it for a few months now. Good quality. Seems durable. Very handy for the gigging musician. Treat it with some care and it should last. Fair value. I’d buy it again.
