SSM 2 : Good enough.

This is a product which is made of metal, does its job properly, filters out mic stand rumble effectively and will stretch to fit mics of a wide range of sizes.

It's good to have a spare few of these knocking around and as its metal it will last a good while.

I found that it's operation was greatly improved by some extra lubrication - I sprayed a little silicon grease onto all the moving parts and now it has a more positive movement and you can gauge the tightness better as it is less scratchy. It's als easier to tighten it tighter once lubricated.

It will hold larger bodied condensers like my rode NT1a or a pure XIX and I imagine it could handle heavier mics too.

It comes with a U.S.-EURO mic stand three adapter which I'm not sure if that was mentioned in the description.
