Strong and sturdy

I bought this for my home studio and it is stronger and sturdier than I expected. Lots of adjustment possibilities as well. Looking for a great mic stand, buy this one with confidence.

Very Sturdy

I bought this along with a very large, very heavy, and very expensive studio condenser mic. This stand will hold any mic you put on it. It is very stable and very sturdy so no worries about the ultimate catastrophe ! It folds up nicely so you can stow it out if the way if you are in a small studio like me. Worth every penny.

WOW!!!

So much better than one of their other versions that requires a weighted base and sandbags. Now I can get rid of both while having a huge (tall) stand. And it's so much lighter

Outstanding value, versatile

I was expecting to have to pay a lot more to get a stand to hold up a new mic that I just got. Previous stands were not up to the task of holding up my latest mic, which weighs in at more than 7 lbs. The versatility of this stand is it's selling point, as I cannot imagine having difficulty finding just the right spot for your mic to be positioned at with this thing. The counterweight is a huge bonus as well.

It should be mentioned that the interlocking teeth mechanisms within each boom will keep them from being pulled down by the weight of any mic, so you don't need to worry about the hassles of constantly adjusting the boom--lesser mic stands would gradually be pulled down by the weight of a mic, making for troublesome constant readjustment.

Best Mic Stand for the Money

It couldn't be any sturdier! I purchased a lower cost stand from the same manufacturer, but it had an issue with the adjustment on the main shaft, so I opted to upgrade and get the better stand. I only spent about $50 more, but it is night and day - this stand is HUGE, but awesome and sturdy. Going to purchase another.

on-stage boom mic stand sb9600

got this to position a zoom h4n (also from sweetwater & awesome) for live recording of my band either in the studio or on a gig & it works perfectly in that application...the boom is long enough to reach the sweet spot keeping the base out of the way...on a gig screwing the 2 piece boom together takes just a bit of time & care...for transport i found that the boom top section will slide into the central tube of the base providing some protection for the threads...this is an excellent mic stand...i didnt give it a 5 because hey its a mic stand & if youre "blown away" by a mic stand you need to expand your frame of reference!...LOL...
