5 Core Mic Stand Adjustable Desk Boom Microphone Stands Round Base Portable Table Pedestal Para Microfono w Universal Mike Holder - MS RBS CH IN

This mic stand is a great small form factor mic stand. It has a nice telescoping boom making it very adjustable. When I play live acoustic shows the boom of a standard stand would get knocked into by partiers, I can tailor the length of the boom for a good compromise of balance and obstacle reduction. I liked the stand enough to buy 2, but the inner boom arm is pretty thin, so it's not the kind of stand I expect you can beat up too much, I am going to rave about the knobs, they feel nice, tighten well without too much pressure and feel very solid.

The boom arm support is made of hollow steel pipe and is rusty on the inside surface from exposure to moisture. The base is painted cast steel with no protection on the bottom, like felt, to avoid scratching the surface you set the mic stand on. The stand tips over when using a Shure SM58 mic with the boom arm fully extended because the base is not solid. The boom arm adjustment looks like the top of a childs bike seat post. I am returning for a refund and will look elsewhere.

For the price point, I expected this to be lighter weight and a little flimsy. Not so! VERY happily surprised and the weight and quality of all the parts. This thing is built to last. Like that they included different mic clips. The knobs/tighteners all hold their position rock-solid after tightening. Very happy with this mic stand and I've owned quite a few through the years -- home recording and in & out of bands. This is solid gear.
