Millenium MS 2002 Mic Stand 3-stars Reviews

Short mic stand

Great for mic'ing up instruments or singing while sat down. Adjusts and folds nicely.

Good for small mics

Good for home. Not for gigs since they are not very well built

I've regretted all the purchases of Millenium tripods I've made. They feel cheap, they have way too much wiggle, they don't feel stable. I've since replaced them with (much much pricier) Gravity and K&M tripods and it's night and day - you tighten them, and they stay tightened. You loosen them, and they loosen gradually, not all of a sudden. I feel like I can trust them with my mics.

If you're looking for a small tripod to hold a light mic, and you're not planning on moving it very much, this does the trick perfectly. But I wouldn't trust it for live use or if you're planning to move it around.

I bought a pair and considering the price, I was satisfied. After some time I bought another two but unfortunately the newer ones had the knobs made of hard plastic which isn't even nearly as durable as the more rubbery plastic on the older ones and also doesn't feel as nice. I was very disappointed.

Pros:

+ price

+ vertical part can be used without the boom

+ when you tighten the screw, the boom doesn't pivot

Cons:

- the stand is very light and a heavier microphone might tip it if fully extended

- knobs are now made of hard plastic which can break if the stand falls

-the paint can get scratched by the screw that holds the telescopic part of the boom in place

If you need a cheap small mic stand for a light mic (e.g. e906, KM184), this one is pretty good as long as you treat it well. Of course it ain't no K&M.

Easy to use, not very stable

I bought this stand because I wanted to try recording directly from my cab. I have a small 1x12 bass cab so I needed a small mic stand that I can move around the cone easily. This stand does the job but it takes me a few minutes to put it in place. Each of the three legs move independently, which may be something that you want but for me is more bothersome than anything.

Overall, it does the job but stability-wise it is not the best.

Portable and Neat

I like it is easily to put away and carry. The bottom or the feet is not a sturdy but managaeble. Is lovely for a sitting setup. Singing whilst sitting or podcasting. Is a known microphone stand provider so, go for it.

It's ok

It does its job but it isn't very sturdy. Once you set it up it will work as intended but I would not take it out on the road or buy this again.

Average

+ Stable legs

+ Attractive price

- lower tube descends, I am afraid to tighten harder not to break the thread

- upper pipe wobbles

I do not use the boom, I'd be afraid of the microphone.

As an auxiliary tripod - you set and do not touch - does the job.

For vocals do not recommend.

Not credible

The plastic that you can see in 9 photos has a crack. Everything was, as always, well-packed and the box itself was delivered in good condition, I think the factory does not really care about quality. I took a stand for recording an acoustic guitar, I wanted to use my mic for this (Blue Baby Bottle). The stand does not look reliable and I decided to just put it in the pantry and not risk my microphone. it would be good for recording drums on small and light microphones, better add a few dollars and buy a more reliable stand. Buy at your own risk)

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.

As far as mic stands go this one is okay. It's not going to be too good after a few trips on the road due to its build quality.

I am very particular when it comes to stands and clamps. K&M are always a go to brand for me.

But! as a beginner or someone who owns a studio and wants something that wont move too much and get knocked it will defiantly serve a purpose.

Just be weary of weight on the stand and over-tightening the clamps as it will cause the internal threads to break/ wear out pretty fast.

cheap and usefull

it's not that solid but comparing to the price its perfect

OK for the money but I regret buying them

I'd recommend paying 3 times as much and getting K&M or Beyer.

Having said that I use them regularly when I run out of the better stands. I wish I had just bought the better ones to start with.

Good value

Does what's needed. Not the best, but good value at the price.

They are ok...

I am using these mic stands for the bass drum mic and snare. They are a bit loose and difficult to keep nice and tight. They do the job, but only just.

Great for home use

This stands are great for home use, wouldn't bet on them for professional studio use but as far as home studio goes not a complaint.

Good for the price!

If you need a short stand for drums/cabs/guitar etc, and you're on a budget, this is perfect.

Pros:

Cheap and sturdy, mostly made of metal

Cons:

Feet are very plasticcy, says that they could potentially mark hard surfaces.

When fully extended, the stand isn't as stable.

The end of the screw for boom arm length adjustment directly touches the painted inner boom, marking it when you tighten it.

ok stand

it's just ok, don't expect durability. not recommended for heavy mics

Wobble wobble

This is by far the weakest stand I own and regret not sending it back.

It is hard to get it to stay still and as soon as you think you've got it, another part moves.

I don't recommend this to anyone, unless you like a challenge.

Good mic stand, great value!

Hello to everybody, we use this stand every day for studio aplication or live sessions.

Nice weight, okay stability, quallity, handling. I definitely recommend this product and will buy it again and again when we need it. Be carefull with screwing, sometimes you can damage it with too manually tighting.

Price is totally best on market.
