MS 2004 : Great Budget Stand - With Minor Faults

I bought 4 of these stands to be used for a variety of small shows and events.

The locking mechanism is good, maybe not excellent, but it does work very well for the price paid for certain. A simple twist and you are able to raise and lower the stand with very little effort.

The base itself is great with regards to weight and shape, however its stability is compromised by the three small feet on the bottom, which mean that weight is not evenly spread, but in fact is balanced across a very small triangle on three very small feet. This does mean the stand can on occasion feel unstable when handling it and moving it, nothing to worry about, just something to be aware of if you are the kind of person who likes to move around with your stand.

The supplied thread adapters are great, super useful and work well, with a slot for a flat head screwdriver in the bottom in case you lose it inside a mic clip. The tightening ring is a must, if you take it off it's very likely the pole will slip inside the other and it may get stuck.

For the price, this stand is great.

it's basic, occasionally a tiny bit wobbly, but does the job it's meant to do at a highly affordable rate.
