I was at the Overland Expo in Arizona this weekend and saw this hammock stand. It looks manufactured but I've never seen it before. The owner wasn't around to ask about it. Anyone ever seen it before or know what it is?

It's made by both DIY, Inc. as well Homemade.com
This looks like a custom deal by somebody who is quite handy with machining aluminum.
The slickest manufactured one that am aware of is the Hammeck Stand.
Aside from that, Tato Gear has a slick kit, which requires you to buy some lumber and a hollow pole.
Otherwise, you can look at building your own TurtleDog stand or one of many others. Do some searches here at HammockForums -- you will find much on this topic.

I would love to have one of these
This is a prototype stand I designed, created, and traveled with as I crossed the country by motorcycle that spring.
The top bow is a suspension member, much like a reverse leaf spring, and was intended to reduce the stress on the guy lines. It worked well, but consumed an entire duffle bag and was a bit bulky for motorcycle travel. The updated and much simplified version of this stand will be at this year's (2016) Expo East, as I will be headed there to present on my design and prototyping company, Journeyman Products, as well as on solo traveling and hammock camping. Anybody going the OXE this year? I'm sad to be missing the MAHHA, but duty calls

that looks awesome
Boy I could sure use one of these for my solo motorcycle trips. Especially for the occasional rally that often had everyone setting up in a field with no trees like the photo above. Let me know if you née an additional field tester or when they are available for sale!

Here is a shot using half of the stand with my vehicle as an anchor point-

We motorcycle hangers do seem a bit under-represented, no?
I'll be looking to some of you experienced hangers when I have the design ready to go full proto-testing.
Like the stand design. Are those alum military antenna mast sections?
BTW, it seems you guys found the muddiest hole possible to camp in. Bet all you gear came back with a brown coating.
I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.
