MS 4322 B Microphone Stand : Good value and quality

I already have two of the smaller Gravity kick drum mic stands so I knew what to expect from this one (of three). The rubber wheels for tightening the base joint and the main boom arm joint are comfortably and tighten smoothly and with a little give. The flippy-clippy clamp for the boom arm extension is also useful for speed adjustments. The height adjusting clamp seems solid (unlike the ones on some Millenium stands I bought a while back). It's a heavy stand but exudes quality. I'm not entirely sure about the fluorescent rubber rings on the legs and boom arm (for identification) when I would prefer a less conspicuous mic stand, but I suppose I can just remove the rubber rings!
