This is just the magnetic head / body of the Atlas stand. To be honest, when I tried my first Atlas, I wondered at the particular design and shape of this—I thought it was entirely aesthetic. But it turns out it serves a functional purpose, too: If you find that playing on your lap is dampening your handpan too much, or that you can easily rest it on your knees, this is a really cool alternative.
Outside of this particular usage, I would normally recooment the full "Atlas All" version with the extra leg extensions.
