Short stand

I was disappointed by mic stands from Millenium before, because they had cheap mechanics and used to broke up and was unapplicable. This Mic stand was nice surprise. Great build, good mechanic and more or less sufficient stability. Ideal stand on snare mic.

A little bit cheap and plasticky, but ok

I bought a few of these to try out before buying a number of them, mainly for orchestra pit micing. Whilst i'll be keeping the ones that I bought I think i'll be looking elsewhere for any further ones. They do the job fine, but the plastic elements in particular seem a bit fragile and are of a shinier, cheaper grade plastic than most other mic stands I've had. I'd be concerned about tightening up the nuts too hard incase they stripped. I've tried it with a large diaphragm condenser mic with the boom on a long extension and the boom locking nut wasn't sufficient to support the weight of the mic.

Decent Mini Boom For The Price

I bought 4 of these as it's coming up to festival season and i wanted some low boom stands that i wouldn't mind getting kicked around and muddy at glasto and other outdoor festivals.

They definitely don't feel like a K&M or other more expensive mic stands, but their low price makes up for that.

I am surprised!

I am surprised at the solidness of this stand for the price. It's great!

Perfect for the price

For the price you cannot really expect much better than this.

I set it up with the t.bone MB75 mic in it and it holds it rock solid against my guitar cab.

I've got it on the lowest setting but there is plenty of adjustment to get it a lot higher.

There is no swivel adjustment at the clip end but it is not an issue for me.

Recommended.

Good stand.

Not much needed from a mic stand only to hold a mic in place and this does exactly that.

It's slightly weak in places but does exactly what's required of it with no hassle.

Great little guitar mic stand. I have used this on and off in the recording studio and found it to suit the job perfectly. I was worried at first that the mic may pick up vibrations/noise from the stand, as it costs so little, but its perfect! Not a bit of noise or vibrations!

The design of the stand is good, and it is very sturdy. I was concerned about the durabillity of the moving parts, but so far they have performed well, and I have had no issues with them. They are very handy for live gigging because of their size, and do not take up a lot of room in the car unlike bigger mic stands.

Solid mic stand

I bought this to record an acoustic guitar with a small diaphragm condenser. This mic stand is really heavy meaning the chances of it toppling over are very low, it adjusts and expands at several points with jeally good clamps and folds down to a nice practical size.

As I said, I bought it to record and acoustic guitar which I'm sat down to do, but this expands far enough for me to also stand up if I wish.

All in all, a good little mic stand with lots of good uses.

They reach where no other stand does.

I have 2 kinds of the same model, multuple pieces. First of all, you can reach the ground with the microphone. That's a must if you plan to record drums. Also excellent for guitar cabinets. It can hold a Sennheiser E 602 II sidewasy when the main boom is extended (I suspect it would hold it with the telescope boom extended as well but I never had to try it.) The only drawback is that the fixing screw eats the black paint immediately so your boom will look bad even if you take care. Otherwise perfect.

Good stand for the money

First of all, the 3-leg construction is far better than a round-base for the bass drum usage. It's really stable with medium-weight microphone (Beta52 etc.) and, using an extension arm, you can position it right next to the beater contact point inside. Easy to use with the guitar amps. Overall, construction is pretty good, if you do some proper tightening of some threads before the usage. One of these stands have been used by me for more than 100 gigs already and still works well. Of course, you can find a lot better quality products from the other manufacturers, but for this price, it's the best offering.

Probably wouldn't buy again.

Stable enough but they have an annoying design feature - the piece between the upper part of the stand which goes into the large plastic tightener and the boom arm itself can be turned independently, which can make setting up the stand very fiddly, especially where a heavy bass drum microphone is on the end of it!

Solid short boom stand.

As fully featured as you need it to be. Extendable boom arm great for mic-ing up instrument cabs, snares, kick drums etc. Have these in stock almost a year with no broken parts yet, so lasting well, especially so for the price.

Impressed for the money

I dont usually buy cheap stands 0 but after buying one of these as part of a larger order I have bought many more - these are excellent value and MUCH better than you would expect for the price!

Very good value

I have two of these stands and use them mainly for recording kick drum, low speakers on cabs and front of the drum kit. They are well made and easily adjusted. I tend to leave the mics I use with these stands so they don't get a lot of handling, save for putting them out and back. They are so compact I can just leave them in the corner til I need them. They do not feel like budget stands and I am sure they will last me well in their current roles.

Does the job.

I got this stand as I needed a smaller mic stand to mic up my bass drum in gigs.

After looking around at the prices of some of these stands, this one was the best price I could find.

On arrival the stand was great. It had stability to it and felt of good quality.

Over time the stand has got a little flimsy, and has become damaged.

I think this is a good stand, but does need extra care in its keeping, to prevent damage being caused.

For the price of this stand, it is great value for money, I would say it is more suited for studio use as opposed to a touring environment.

Great for amps!

Great for holding the mic in front of your amp.

I find I use these mic stands way more than full size boom stands, as they don't tend to get in the way as much when tracking a full live band, so I use them for bass drums, snares, guitar amps, double bass and more!

Very handy little mic stand

I have been using this small mic stand for several years now without any problem. It is compact, but extends sufficiently so I could use it as a spot mic for hi-hats, snare, floor tom, room mics etc. It can be adjusted in many ways, height, angle, and rotation, so that it can be placed in exactly the right place. I have used it with small pencil condensers and dynamic mikes and it has has proven stable in all those uses. The various locks have also held well and remain tight. A very good stand that comes in handy and is very useful.
