MS 2002 Mic Stand : Maybe I should've lowered expectations...

...but this mic stand is kind of underwhelming. I came across a few different stands by now since I bought it and it's very lightweight (which is never good for any stand), the top element has an expendable piece but it doesn't have a stopping rim and when fully extruded it's unstable (I fear it's going to fall out) and the point where the bottom piece is screwed on the top piece requires it to be fully tightened, however then I can't rotate things around because the plastic cover is actually a set part of the top piece not a tightening element...

Admittedly it's not an expensive piece of equipment and it does the job about half the time, but if I need a good reach or need to use expensive microphones then this is not the right tool.
