MS 2003 : Decent stand for the price but carefull with heavy mic's

First off I would like to state that I made my rating with the price in mind. I think that investing in a more expensive but more stable microphone stand is wiser then buying this one. But if you are like me and have a really tight budget, it is a good temporary mic-stand.

I use this stand for my RODE NT1 microphone in my home studio. This microphone is a little too heavy for the stand (400g). I have tried to set it up quite horizontally but that didn't work (kept coming down) so I ended up with an upright setup. I could imagine this being less of a problem if your mic is less heavy (shure sm58 is 300g).

This is by no means a high-end stand but it holds the mic and it's really cheap. For this price it's good bang for your buck, especially if your mic isn't too heavy.

Pro's:

-Cheap

-Good for light mic's

-Easy to use

Con's:

-Not suitable for heavy mics

-Not sturdy enough for live gigs
