271/15 : A good sturdy mic stand

11 years ago

I finally got started with my own home studio and being a college student I didn't have the biggest budget and so I needed an economical set of mic stands. This meaning of course they had to be strong, sturdy and durable.

It's all 3 of them, its been set up and torn down more time than I could count, dropped and stood one and even knocked over without any damage at all. It's also very sturdy if set up correctly, with the boom fully extended at a 90degree angle it hasn't toppled once.

In fact the only issue with sturdiness I've come across is that I needed to tighten the boom slightly more than usual as when it is fully extended with a mic on it it tends to slowly lower itself.

Overall I would say its one of the best choices at this price point.
