I'm using this stand for doing some podcasting, so having a boom mic stand is ideal. The boom keeps the mic close but the stand out of the way of the computer desk. Since I don't keep it set up all the time, and I've traveled with it a little, the tripod legs work great for me.
I don't think these are rugged enough to take on the road but for the serious home studio musician, these are just fine. Base is stable, sliding parts do so smoothly, screw clamps hold fast, boom will hold an AT2021 securely at full extension. I knock off one star only because the cable clips (holds the mic cable to the stand) are easily broken - not a big deal, I prefer velcro ties for this anyhow.I use these with Audio Technica AT2041SP Studio Pack (AT2020 + AT2021) for vocal and acoustic guitar channel inputs for a Korg D888.
This stand is metal, very easy to adjust, and just top-notch in every way. You'll need to buy one of those suckers before you can really use this. My old stand was plastic, hard to adjust, and just a piece of junk. The second reason is because I play guitar hero and like to sing and play at the same time. For the price, you can not beat this Mic Stand. I think that the company coming to visit likes the idea of having a mic stand much more.Happy Shopping. The only thing is- it does not come with a "MIC CLAMP" - something you need to attach your actual microphone to your stand. steak with a little A1 steak sauce on the side and a side of mashed potatoes.You really can't beat it.
Being creative is sometimes more fun anyways. I just know that THIS stand is everything I could have asked for and for the price, it really looks and feels like a professional piece of machinery.AND THE PRICE. I actually bought it for two reasons; #1, I play electric guitar and needed to upgrade a stand I got 7 years ago from my grandmother. I did not buy that right away though and some of my girlfriend's hair ties did the trick without any issues. I have never owned a more expensive Mic Stand so I do not know what other qualities that one might look for. This stand would is the equivalent of going to McDonalds and ordering a Big Mac, but instead, you're given a 12 oz. But maybe, if I was more creative, instead of using a Mic Stand in the first place, I could have strung my microphone from the light fixtures. This product is approved by me.
I'm using this for in house practice / jamming. probably not a lot of playing out, so abuse will be minimal. It's very sturdy, good construction, and quite adjustable. We'll worth the price I paid.
The mic stand works great and the head I got for it fit perfectly. Only issue is one of the bolts to tighten to make the "arm" stay is hard to turn, so if the mic stand is straight up and down, its can slide a bit.The weight is great and helps keep it balanced. Comes with a mic wire clip., wish it had two though.
