Have you found yourself in this situation?
You carefully source and curate the "perfect" compact PA system for your small solo or duo act. After squeezing and condensing all of your gear into a neat "one hand carry" package you realize, " aw crap! I need to bring that HUGE speaker stand too!"
Luckily, there's a solution for that. For audiences of primarily seated people, like a coffeehouse, you can fit this into your gig bag or directly into your speaker bag.

In my case, I'll be using the Mackie Reach and FreePlay more frequently since it fits the smaller rooms I play in. However, unlike my JBL Eon One, those work best with a speaker stand. To maintain one hand carry, I purchased an inexpensive 34" rolling duffle bag with handle to transport the Mackie Reach. This speaker stand will fit in the bag along side it. Easy peasy. When using the FreePlay, that bag can go over the shoulder, and the speaker stand in your hand.
Nifty.
