Anyone have experience with these? Does not look there is any angle adjustment.

I have used the sousaphone stand version. Very well made and lightweight. The base uses a fairly wide "footprint," but the stand is very stable. I have not used the upright tuba version.

The interesting thing about the 'stadium' stands is that the front and back legs are adjustable independently so the stand will work on steps or bleachers.

Not sure which angle you hope to adjust but I own several these sousaphone and tuba stands and they are great. There isn't a whole lot of position adjustment on the tuba stands if you are thinking in terms of a playing stand but they are great for storage.

The newer ones (which I think these are) are using sticky tape for cushioning and it scoots out of the way too readily. I removed the tape and used Plasti Dip http://www.homedepot.com/p/Plasti-Dip-1 ... /202196703 to make them like they used to be.

CAVEAT: Most of my instruments are raw brass or silver plated. I would expect modern catalyzed finishes to not be attacked by the plascicizers in Plasti Dip but you might want to be careful with older lacquered horns. Just sayin'

Thanks for the replies guys. As far as angle adjustment, I am concerned with moving the horn to a more upright position versus leaning so far to the player's left.
