MS 2005 : Budget Stand

I have bought two of these stands and have used them for studio and voice over work mainly. They are mostly well constructed with the exception of the rotating grip that holds the boom to the vertical arm.

This rotating part doesn't provide sufficient grip while a microphone is extend out at any distance. While trying to tighten it down the nut, which the tightening bolt screws into, the bolt was pulled out through the brittle plastic it is housed in. I have had to remove this part altogether and the stand now functions as a straight stand, but that is not the purpose for which it was intended. (ie: this is not fit for purpose.)

I didn't expect much from this stand but it delivered even less than that. If you have microphones that cost more than this stand, don't trust them to this item.
