Here's what I currently have:

* Micron (only used about once a year as too small for everyday use): Nice and sturdy but as already mentioned, a bit of a squeeze
* Gorilla version of the star cloth booth everyone else has got. Very wobbly (my MCX7000 weighs a ton), and a pain in the backside to put together. Unfortunately there are still customers that like to see that effect from time to time.

And my main weapon of choice?

* Liteconsole Elite. It's expensive, lightweight, and built like a brick outhouse. Don't know what they cost now but I got mine when they were first launched and it cost just shy of £1,000. It'll last a lot longer than any of the others out there at the moment though, and it fantastically rigid when you get one of those nights when punters want to lean on it for support

Alternatively, just pop along to any builders merchant, and buy a few scaffolding poles. Half a day with a mig welder, and bingo, a custom built booth, indistinguishable from the unbelievably ugly overprices creation Wayne suggests.
There's something similar at a fraction of the price from ADJ, I believe. Check out Andy Neen's facebook page, he';s got piccies of one with a starcloth most weeks.


Whimsy overt, I'm currently the owner of two Equinox booths, Micron and full size. They go in bags, and go upstairs easily. However, although they're pretty, portable, and value for money, the only thing guaranteed to repel boarders, is the good old DSB offering. Sadly, it's heavy, and a tad cumbersome. Still the strongest thing available.

You really don't like my booth very much, do you?

Whatever gave you that idea?

To be serious, although I'm on record as hating this style of booth, I know Andy Neen reckons it's getting almost universal acclaim from clients. So much so, that I have that dangerous voice at the back of my mind telling me I'm missing a trick not having one.
The Equinox Truss Booth, and ADJ Event Table are available at a more wallet friendly sub £300 figure, although I don't think there's an off the shelf overhead kit for either. ( Although I'd be happy to be proved wrong ).

Equinox? As posted above, it's my weapon of choice, but it's not the ultimate in stability. Apparently this overhead will fit it. It certainly looks exactly like the genuine article.

The Gorilla? Sorry, no idea.
