MS 2005 : A Cheap stand - but that's just what you get

I've had a number of millennium stands in the past, usually because I have been on a tight budget, and they tend to go the same way - the Mic adjustment screw is not man enough for the job, the boom adjustment slips after a time. I bought six of them recently as part of a package including mics, bags cables and stands which was unbeatable value, so I don't mind if they fall apart.

I now use Hercules Stands as although they are 3 times the price, they last a lot longer.

That said, for the price these stands are almost disposable. I now use these as overhead mic stands for the drums and as spare stands in case I have a problem with other stands. So in that respect they are excellent value and so long as they are not used day in day out they should last. But if you need a sturdy Mic stand I would suggest you pay a bit more and get a Hercules or something similar. So much better quality and quick release

These will do for the purpose they are now used for though, and I would recommend them if you're on a budget and not going to be gigging more than twice a month.
