Update - received both types of stands today. Both types will work great with my Hik Cube Cam. The only thing negative I would have to say about the fixed base stand is that it appears to be designed to actually be screwed into something. The standard Hik Cube Cam Stand has a weighted metal piece in the bottom of the stand, so you can just sit it on top of something. The fixed 'Fastsnail' stands do not have the weight and may be a little tippy if used in the same manner, but it would be pretty easy to just add some sort of weight like the factory Hik stand
