I went to a local Whites dealer and picked up a clip on stand used on real old units( it was his last one)...Its black however would not mate with top of the armrest..I basically snapped it on the rod directly before the the first connection just to the front of the meter..X-terra stand feet a bit over 3 inches and the stand I affixed 6 inches so not going to tip over..Am sure Minelab will come up with a new stand or at least should , but I am good to go....I understand many old detectors had similiar stands to stabilize them so might check in your dealers oldies box...
