Useful but not tough

Fine stand and well made, but I wouldn't recommend too much on the road use, or be careful with handling as the materials are not the strongest, but you get what you pay for, good for careful studio use.

really good stands for the money

just got 2 of these to use as OH stands. But holy cow. I was surprised of the build quality of these. Heavy dutie stands that seems very rigid. I have some heavy microphones that I use for some other duties in our rehearsal room/studio that I have been afraid of using on smaller flimsy stands. I can tell you now that these stands will see more action than just as OH.

There is a small movement in the joint where the boom is,but it is very small, and I don't think it will be a problem..

The screw locks is good and locks on thight once you find your position so I don't expect any sagging taking place.

I'm very happy with my purchase. If they will stand (no pun intended) the test of time, well. only time can tell..

Bargain

Bought two of these recently for my mobile recording set up, they are amazing for the money, very heavy and sturdy but they take up a lot of vehicle space as they are still large even when collapsed. Probably better suited as a permanent fixture as a drum overhead or overhead mic stand, these will take a heavy mic no sweat. Recommended but make sure you have an estate car or van to transport.

A steal!

In my opinion, at this price, these stands are a hidden gem, when you consider their robustness, features and weight capacity, compared to equivalent stands costing many times more.

And they really deliver: I've had two heavy mics loaded on a stereo bar, placed about 3 meters up for a big choir; or with the boom in a horizontal position perched far over a drumkit; I also placed HEAVY (6kg) lighting fixtures (no boom) with a TVMP adapter; and in each case I was never worried about them moving (and move they did not!) But for extra peace of mind, it even includes a counterweight which you can slide along the boom.

It's always important when placing heavy loads on any stand to make sure you completely loosen the clutch, even to make minor adjustments, to avoid wearing out the washers prematurely.

Brilliant and Amazing Value

I've used it many times. It is cheap but very well made and the alternatives are way more expensive. Don't be fooled by the price, it's extremely good. I use it to get main recording pair way up there. Had mine 10 years and it's been on many professional recording sessions.

Big and Heavy

This is an awesome value for money! Heavy, big, stable. I'm using it to hold drum overhead mic in the studio and it's great for that purpose. Of course, it's not very portable, but for studio use, it's just great. The quality is very good, I don't see any flaws in the materials used or build, feels pretty solid. Highly recommended!

Incredible Value!

I can't say enough good things about these stands. The pictures and description don't quite capture how big and heavy these things are. I've got a fairly large studio with a 5m high ceiling and I'm yet to find a position these stands won't manage.

I originally ordered 2 but I think its time for an extra pair as these are brilliant for heavy mics. When you've got thousands of £££ worth of mics its really not worth the risk using flimsy stands. A great alternative to the £200+ K&M stands

I use this standard for different mics. For example my t-bone sct 2000.

Clarity

This is a large mic stand very stable.

pros & cons

- pro large

- pro stable

- con difficult to handle

Comprehensibility

In my opinion this is a perfect stand but you will need the room for it.

Heavy duty stand - wow.

I use two of these for overheads for my drums and they are great - very heavy and super strong - I can place the stands well out of the way of the drums because they extend so far and that helps with other mic placements and adjusting drums without disturbing the overheads positions. Probably the best stands I have in my studio. The price is so inexpensive for these stands ... I was surprised at the quality and sturdiness of these for how much I paid.

Insane value

I bought 2 of these for studio use, and they're ridiculously impressive. The legs get very wide, the boom reach is extremely long, the counter-weight works perfectly. The stand had no problem steadily holding a Sony C800 almost fully stretched out. Couldn't ask for more, especially for the price.

A top quality mic boom stand

This is a top quality heavy duty stand, no doubt about it.

Excellent build quality, all the hand screws feel very secure and the base and counter-weight heavy enough for weighty mics like a U-47 and the like.

Really satisfied, especially for the price!

Very high and stable stand

I bought this mic stand about 5 years ago. The purpose was to record overall sound of orchestras, choirs as well as organ since I record mostly academic / classical music.

This stand meets my needs - it is more than 5 m high so it "looks" to orchestra or other group of musicians from above giving me possibility to take overall sound. When recording organs it gives me possibilty to try to reach best place to put a mics, althought in this case 5 m often is to small :)

Up to now all the screws works well.

Bad thing is that even folded it takes a lot of space and hardly fits in my Golf that carries all my equipment for on-location recording.

So if you need really high stand - buy this.

I bought this stand to hold 2 overhead microphones for my acoustic drumset.

I was very impressed, for several reasons:

- the package is huge and heavy

- the stand itself is far larger than I expected

- the build quality is excellent

- it is very stable

- its price doesn't reflect its quality, positively. It's inexpensive but definitely not cheap

I think the arm can be extended up to like 2 meters, without compromising the stability. Before this, I used a regular and inexpensive mic stand, which was very unstable (for obvious reasons).

Solid & great value

Bought a pair of these. They have a matt finish and feel solid. The boom assembly is welded to the upright so as far as I can tell non-removeable. Comes with a counterweight and a single safety "pin". The boom extends to about 2m and the upright is around 3m. With the usual precautions - don't over-extend, or try to support anything really heavy - this stand is a good buy at less than the cost of the boom alone of some other makes.
