Nice quality, and easily put together.

The three balancing legs come as one unit and fasten to the upright stand by use of a large plastic knobbed pin. The upright stand fastens to the reach out bar by the use of a large plastic knobbed pin, used to stop it from turning from left to right and a tommy-barred locking pin used to allow the reachout arm to be positioned at any angle and at speed.

I have not rated the stability as highly as the other parts as I am not sure just how stable it is. I beleive it to be very good. Without a microphopne in it the stand easily copes with its own weight, but I have just brought a Tyrso 4 and have placed the stand and microphone at the side of it. This requires the stand to be at its maximum horizontal extension to reach me, plus I have a Shure microphone slotted into the holder on the top. This microphone is very heavy, and at the full extent of horizontal reach tends to over balance. It is only kept from falling over when the back leg meets the underneath of the writing desk. If I could move the microphone closer I can not see it causing me any problems. Used as a singing microphone it should perfect. The microphone holder at the top holds the microphone by slotting it in place and a resitance joint allows the microphone to be easily adjusted upwards or downwards.
