26145 : Very sturdy

I bought this mic stand as i wanted a good solid stand as an upgrade from my cheap €25 one.

This stand is overall impressive. Its very sturdy. Its heavy enough that it wont get knocked over. It has a round base, which is not only sturdy but takes up noticeably less precious stage space as the three legged type.

There are two draw backs however.. 1, the main stand screws into the bass, its solid, but tends to unscrew as you move the stand at all.. and feels very distracting and annoying.

2.. the boom arm is quite narrow and held in place with a fairly weak thumb screw, this causes your mic clamp to suddenly swivel loose and turns the mic upside down at random moments. You can then tighten the thumb screw as tight as possible but it still loses grip.. this happened from very first use! the mic i was using was a shure beta 57, so not overly or unusually heavy.

Pros.. takes up minimal space, and is sturdy 95% of the time

Cons.. thumb screw on boom arm feels / is weak. And main stand unscrews from base far too easily.

Over all though, its a good stand, definitely an upgrade in terms of weight, but, i expected better from the price point.
