Hi, I m Ruud Roelofsen, the designer of these products. I have used the holder for over 6 months on my Piano 5 and I do have the softcase. The holder has the strength of ABS and can hold a weight of more than 100 kgs. Happy to send you one to test...
Hi Ruud - ok great, I'll buy one... maybe next month after the pain of paying for the stage4 has decreased somewhat I presume the stand holder dimensions are the same on NS4 Compact as the other Nords, but let me know if you want me to measure the hole distances.
Woahh nice! Love the specs of the NS4 but yeah painful when having to fork out 4.5k... And yes, form factor (on the back) is the same as NS3

Quick question how do you fix the clamp to the NS3? Do you have to unscrew some screws from the NS3? I think the instructions provided is not that clear..
Hi Winds, you have emailed me about this, so I have replied to your email. Please follow the instructions:
1. Unscrew the existing music stand holder (keep the screws).
2. Take the 3D holder and mount it with existing screws.
Do NOT use a (cordless) drill as this might damage the holder.
3. Attach your tablet holder to the K&M extension first, and insert it into the 3D holder.
4. Adjust height and fasten with black rotary knob.
5. You can easily fit two K&M20001 extensions on top each other when the tablet holder does
not suit your needs in terms of height.
Let me know at what step you get stuck...

Happy with the design !
As I already had the tablet adapter that did fit directly in the camera screw, I had to buy an adapter from the stick to the adapter that could rotate.
I presume the stand holder dimensions are the same on NS4 Compact as the other Nords, but let me know if you want me to measure the hole distances.
