Good mic stand for the price.

These work really well. Okay it's a little cheap on the build quality. But hey it costs £12. If you want a fancy mic stand, spend more money.

I much prefer to turn up at a venue where they have 20 of these at hand, than somewhere where they refuse to buy cheap mic stands, so you end up having to splice together parts from 20 year old ageing stands just to create 1 usable one.

Good

I am not that familiar with mic stands, but for the price, I would imagine you can't get anything better. Seems sturdy to me.

Does the job for the buck

For the buck - this stand is perfect. If you are looking something for home studio and have no plans to heavy use it - look no further. For more professional purposes - maybe not. It has some stability problems, so beware with a little heavier mics and never ever hang anything on it. The ankles feel a little shaky, however I had no real issue with them.

Overall, this stand does its job quite well and it is reasonably priced.

Great Budget Stand

We bought a whole bunch of these to use on an orchestra and the worked out great.

they can be slightly wobbly when at full extension, so not idea for a heavy studio microphone, but a great solution for live events.

Thin, does noot look durable, but works perfectly fine and serves the purpose!

If you need a heavy duty everyday workhorse for live situations, this might not be it. That said, however, this stand does what it claims to do. It stands, handles without fuss, everything on it is honestly made and designed.

We use it as studio stands, that are supposed to be set and not touched anymore. For now, all the joints hold well, practically standing in an un-optimal position (long lever) for a month without moving, or sliding.

I would recommend this stand as an additional, not moved often stand without any regrets.

If you need a hardy mic stand you will probably need to pay a little more.

PROS

- lightweight

- over-delivers for the price

- works as promised

CONS

- not for heavy use

Cheap and useful

After 2 years of use it still works well and its pretty tight

Fine for home studio

Might be a bit flimsy for holding some of the larger condenser mics, but fine for sm57s or the like if that's all you need

It's ok. Be Gentle

It does the job. Be gentle though with the screws.

Stand for regular use

I have a lot of these stands, and use them for recording different instruments during concerts - piano, winds, drum, strings as well as singers etc.

Stands barely reach height to pick up overhead sound of orchestra, but if I really will need higher stands I will look for other - higher ones. Definately these are not enought high to record a choir if it stays on elevations.

Stands are stable. not heavy (that is important for me since I bring about 16 at once) and do the work that stands have to do.

However screws of boom arm are not solid, more exatly - not the very screws but threads, and you have to fix them prudently.

So if you do not want to spend a lot of money for stands, these are an option.

It does the job quite well

It's very good for the price!

It shakes a little bit, specially if you're using a heavy microphone (large diaphragm, for example).

Been using it for months and is lasts!

Very very bad mic stand - buy the cheap k&k instead

It does what it does well

Nothing special (in this price range): sturdy - it is all you need. Does job well. I use it with my Rode NT1A and pretty good.

Recommended as budget solution.

Very good

Very good and stable microphone stand. I totally recomend this stand for everyone using it in rehearsals or life performances.

Not a very good stand

Careful where to use these stands. Not very well built. Will do the job for some DIY home studio stuff though when you're stuck in a pinch.

Good reliable stand

Perfect for leaving set up in a studio situation. And also handy for live shows. Easy to carry and transport.

This was my first microphone stand. I received many recommendations on this, I decided to buy it, i ordered and it was super fast, i was very happy. I use it in my home to record thousands of tracks. and it worked really well.

Pros:

- it's not shaky, the metal is very firm

- it holds the microphone very well

- Looks really expensive and nice.

Cons:

- the only thing that i dont like is the fact that sometimes when i'm done with recording and i put my headphones on the microphone stand he end it up falling because the legs are to far away of each other.

SUMMARY: I would definitely recommend buying this microphone stand in this price range.

Great for snare and vocals

I usually use this stand for a snare mic or a vocal mic and it works great with both. It's very non-intrusive in size which comes in handy hen miking the snare. It's also very easily adjusted and well balanced. I've had this for a few years so it's very durable to too!

Good stand

It looks reliable, but I am not sure it is going to last forever. If you are going to throw it in a truck, maybe something sturdier would be better. Looks good and the double mic stand is useful
