Hoher Preis lohnt sich hier durchaus

Haben zwei davon im Proberaum steht. Bin echt zufrieden, auf Platte gewechselt zu sein. Im Gegensatz zu Füßen sieht sie besser aus und verringert die Stolpergefahr. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Quality solid mic stand A+

High quality microphone stand with solid construction and heavy base. Thicker stands so strong enough for on the road. Highly recommended. Renowned K&M quality

Solid & stable

I love these stands with cast iron round base du to the stability. We use these for everything from vocal mics to drum overheads.

Sleek design, sturdy

Great mic stand! It looks nice, doesn't take up a lot of space and is quite sturdy.

Very sturdy

I bought this mic stand as i wanted a good solid stand as an upgrade from my cheap €25 one.

This stand is overall impressive. Its very sturdy. Its heavy enough that it wont get knocked over. It has a round base, which is not only sturdy but takes up noticeably less precious stage space as the three legged type.

There are two draw backs however.. 1, the main stand screws into the bass, its solid, but tends to unscrew as you move the stand at all.. and feels very distracting and annoying.

2.. the boom arm is quite narrow and held in place with a fairly weak thumb screw, this causes your mic clamp to suddenly swivel loose and turns the mic upside down at random moments. You can then tighten the thumb screw as tight as possible but it still loses grip.. this happened from very first use! the mic i was using was a shure beta 57, so not overly or unusually heavy.

Pros.. takes up minimal space, and is sturdy 95% of the time

Cons.. thumb screw on boom arm feels / is weak. And main stand unscrews from base far too easily.

Over all though, its a good stand, definitely an upgrade in terms of weight, but, i expected better from the price point.

Proper mic stand...

Way better than the three legged type for boom mic stability although not quite as easy to move around/pack/carry... but worth it.

The design and manufacture is excellent so I'm sure I'll get lots of life out of it, making it good value too!

Microphone Stand

It's like a tank. I love it.

Good stand.

Good stand. Stable. Boom arm quite lightweigh - can be used as external boom arm on heavy stands - like for K&M 21430. Thank You!

Very good microphone stand

This time when I chose microphone stands I in purpose chose the one that has smaller legstand in the bottom, it is good because it takes alot less room than these tripods and these are amazingly stable, no issues of these tilting or falling over if someone would slam against it. Until today we have used these quite some time and no issues have occurred.

Excellent build quality

K&M never disappointed me. This thing is large and robust. Using the gears and mechanism feels like operating a Porsche or something. Costs more than the average, but totally worth it.

VERY STABLE STAND

This stand is really a very stable one and can handle heavy duty!High quality product made to last!

Great item

the most stable stand I've ever had. K&M owns the category

The best

The absolute best stands, never fail me. The heavy bottom is very secure and perfectly balanced.

Only thing I could say is that because the bottom is heavy, it tends to unscrew itself from the stand if moved around a lot.

Small footprint, sturdy stand

I use two of these for drum overhead mics, and I really like the small footprint and the weighty round base (around 6kgs). I have these at maximum vertical extension and the boom almost fully extended, and with small SDC mics (such as Rode M5, NT5, etc), no stability problems whatsoever. I would also be happy using these with heavier mics, though I would probably add a counterweight sandbag to the boom arm, or place over the base to ensure no toppling over.

In terms of build quality, typical K&M quality, which I find to be good, although I have marked down the "handling" rating by one star for three reasons:

1. The twist-lock on the vertical pole extension can get jammed if over-tightened. I did this once, by accident, and it took a bit of effort to undo it.

2. I'm not a great fan of the lock used for setting the angle of the boom. Looks cheap and tacky, though it does work.

3. I would be happier if there was a locknut to help keep the bottom pole tight on the round base. I found, when moving the stand around the studio, the base could start to come loose. It won't fall off (there are plenty of threads), but the overall stability is reduced if the pole isn't tightened firmly into the base.

Finally, a really minor niggle, I managed to break one of the cable clips. They are a fairly hard, brittle plastic, so take care when removing them or clipping them back onto the poles.

Despite those apparently negative comments, the stand does exactly what I need it to do, works as intended, and is decent quality for the price. I would buy again if I needed to replace it.

Sturdy Stand with Small Footprint

Excellent functioning microphone stand, easy to set up and adjust. Extremely stable stand.

The best part about this stand is the small footprint on stage, there are no tripod legs in the way! If you find yourself playing in cramped spaces this stand makes an immediate difference. The only downside is the weight of the round base at 6 kilos which if you are gigging has to be hauled around.

Highly recommended product, am going to get a second one.

Not worth the Money

This is yet again another terrible stand made by K&M. The little knobs in which you use to tighten the stand in place didn't work 100%.

This also fell from the back of the van and that was the end of the stand. They look and feel like they are made really well but it is quite the opposite.

This stand lasted about 3 weeks for me, and to be honest I look after all my gear well, it was just an accident.

You would really have to be carful with this stand and handle with care but in my opinion just get a cheaper one they are probably made better.

Tall and stable

Looking for a stand to go off the front of a 500mm stage and still comfortably reach the performer while supporting a small personal monitor to boot. The quality of this stand shines through.
