Ultra-Light, Ultra-Economical Boom Stand!

The Samson BL3 Ultra-Light Boom Stand gives you double duty and economy. The BL3 has a collapsible tripod base, making it ideal for the act on the road. Its steel construction means it will stand up to lots of hard use, and its black finish makes the BL3 look good on stage or in the studio. Plus, the BL3 is light, so an armful of mic stands won't break your back - or your bank account! The BL3, with its included boom, costs less than many straight stands.


Samson BL3 Ultra-Light Boom Stand Features:
  • Collapsible tripod boom stand
  • Die-cast and steel construction
  • Sleek black finish
  • Ultra-light for easy transport

The Samson BL3 Ultra-Light Boom Stand makes good sense!

Surprisingly Good

Music Background: Getting back into it. Guitarist for 40+ yrs
I've been building a home studio and a PA system to start playing again. I was looking for something inexpensive but not a waste of money. Looked at the On Staqe stands at the local store and I was no... read more [+]t impressed. The clamps felt spongy. I picked this up from Sweetwater against recommendations from the sales staff. I'm glad I did. The boom locks tight and easily holds my SM-58 without slipping. It's been setting over a Keyboard extended over 2 ft without drooping. For a light weight stand I don't think you can find a better one at twice the price. I will be getting more when I start playing out again for friends to set in with me. close [-]

This is a nice, solid mic stand. They are a bit better than the super cheap mic stands that you see for 20 bucks. They are heavier, but they are still not super heavy duty. For normal use, this mic st... read more [+]and woks just fine. It does come with nice big knobs to make tightening easy. close [-]

It's a mic stand. It stands and hold a mic. It appears well made and sturdy but I'm not throwing it around the room, it just kind of stands there and, well, holds a mic.

Time will tell, but it feels much sturdier than what I expected

My primary Ultimate squeeze-grip stand broke a couple years ago, so I bought a new stand, paying a bit for one I believed would last. It has, but, over time, it has increasingly felt like I'm carrying... read more [+] another speaker, it's so heavy.
I saw this in a Sweetwater email, and thought it worth a try. I was concerned that the price might presage a poorly-built stand.
It arrived Saturday afternoon. I pulled it from the box and took it to my show that evening.
Time will tell, but it feels much sturdier than what I expected.
I also prefer a two-section boom, making it shorter when folded up. The base is slightly short, which makes helps with the folded size.
I withhold 5-stars till I see if it's truly as sturdy as it at-first appears. close [-]

Very Reliable But Not Quite Perfect

I don't have super high expectations for a mic-stand. Basically, it just needs to hold the mic without me feeling incredibly nervous that it might fall, and it needs to be adjustable so I can place th... read more [+]e mic in the needed position for the job.
This stand has been taken to film shoot locations and has gotten treated pretty roughly for the past month. Parts of the stand are now difficult to adjust (the lowest adjustable section) and don't tighten as much as I'd like. But although the convenience of the stand is significantly lessened, the stand still holds strong. I've never been nervous about placing my studio mic on it. I may replace the stand soon with a new one that I'll take better care of, but I plan to keep this one around for as long as it lasts, which I think will be quite a while. close [-]

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
