MS 4322 HDB Microphone Stand : The heavy base guy with boom arm

I like Gravity stands so I bought these to use them as stands for overhead mics. Lately I using NT1A mics as overheads and they're kinda heavy (1kg with mounting).

I extending their boom arm kinda far while using and they starting to be a little unbalanced. I ordered two of them and no idea what the cause is but one of them holding the mic good but the other is not that tight and starts lowering the angle because of the weight. That made me some headache when I noticed it first. 30 mins into the recording session one of the mic was ~20-30 cm lower than it was initially so we had to start over.

Other than that is's a great stand, if you want to use it with smaller mics it won't cause problems and will handle them perfectly.

But if you want to use it with more heavy mics like me, I recommend you getting a counterweight to put on the other side of boom arm!

Since then I changed the boom arm with another gravity stand because what I really like about this is that the boom arm taking up so little space.
