Multiple viewing angles available for Maestro?

The Maestro comes with a table top bracket that puts the Maestro at a nice angle if it is sitting on a desktop.  But if it is higher on a shelf, it is difficult to use.  Are there alternate brackets available?  It would be great if it was adjustable for different viewing angles.

    As the Europan I am, had to buy the tilt feet from EU dealer. http://appello-funk.de/product_info.php?info=p747_Tilt Hinge Feet for Maestro.html. Difference from the original ones are hughe, no it's bigger than that. Google maybe and take a good look at them. You will not be disapointed with them I'm sure.

    I see the Maestro in the photos used by Flex to advertise the Maestro uses different feet than what it is shipped with - not very nice.  I did not find any adjustable feet in the accessories listing.  Where can I get the foldable feet?

    They were, and probably still are an optional accessory for the Maestro. They aren't currently listed on the websites, redesigned "Buy" online store at the moment. here's a picture of a Maestro that has them installed.

     There are additional images of them on the Maestro Product page at ...

    Probably, a glitch from the storefront redesign.

    Not cheap, very adjustable, very strong, very stable.

    They won't allow any forward tilt though, so may not work if your shelf height requires that.

    I have the optional zero-torque tilt feet on my Maestros and really like them. They also fold flat for storing your Maestro in a case. 73 Steve K9ZW

    Steve - thank you for the info.   I hope Flex will offer its customers an opportunity to buy them -  all the Maestro photos on their website include them.

    I’d send them an email and ask. The tilt feet have been an option right from the start. 73 Steve K9ZW
