Hercules Stands HC-MS-632B 5-stars Reviews

Solid as a rock.

I upgraded to this from a ¤20 Millennium stand that fell apart after a few weeks in a studio. This stand is so solid I can't believe I didn't upgrade sooner. Don't cheap out with mic stands! All my stands will be Hercules from now on.

Hercules boom stand

I bought this stand as I was fed up of the friction clamp types wearing out to the point where the boom clamp can't be tightened.

I love the Hercules locking boom clamp - it locks firmly in position and doesn't wear out, so you don't get the slowly drooping microphone syndrome that happens with friction style clamps. I also like the big clamp knobs - easy to find & tighten on a dark stage with sweaty hands!

It's too early to say how the rest of the stand will cope with being thrown in the back of the van every weekend, but the construction is solid looking, so I expect at least 3 years of heavy gigging (70 per year) out of this.
