You Won't Find a Better Mic Stand at This Price!

The MC-05 offers you a space-saving roundbase design, packed with innovations from best-in-class leader Ultimate Support. If you're looking to equip your stage rig with a rock-solid, reliable stand, this is the way to go. And you're going to get helpful features you wouldn't expect at this low price. For example, you've got a quick-release clutch that quietly, reliably, and easily tightens and releases... that's important when you need to make a fast adjustment in the middle of a gig — or when multiple folks are sharing the same microphone atop the MC-05.

And while the space-saving features of the MC-05 make it worth its merit, this round-base stand is also weighted for extra stability. That's why countless schools, churches, bands, and stage artists go with the MC-05 — it has that traditional onstage look, and surprising performance when you factor in the competitive price. Another nifty feature about the MC-05 is that the base of it easily attaches and releases, with just a few turns. Gigging musicians will appreciate that easy breakdown, so they can take the MC-05 with them in the car. And those same gigging musicians will appreciate the MC-05's self-locking mechanism, ensuring that the base won't come unthread unless you want it to. Go onstage and give the MC-05 all you have... it can handle it.

Perfect for Dynamic Mics

Had previously bought the equivalent K&M mic stands, but the price jumped on the K&M from about the same to double.
The K&M round base mic stand has a weighted rim, which is perfect for heavy large diaphragm condenser mics with their large mic holders and obligatory pop filter.
But for a much lighter dynamic mic with a small mic clip centered on the top of the stand, this mic stand won't easily tip over.
Think about it. Condenser mic holders offset the mic to above the rim of a round base, so a weighted rim is almost necessary. The extra $30 is of course worth it for the K&M in that case.

In terms of the threads and grips, the K&M had a slight advantage over the Ultimate for the base, but had an equal grip. If you are planning on taking this apart a lot, get the K&M. (Do people really take apart round base stands?) I twisted the stand into the base and hit something about one twist from the bottom. This would probably degrade and become a problem if you are taking it apart every day.
The ultimate grip is bigger, but both felt smooth and easy to turn. In terms of the mic clip threads, many clips are poorly cut anyway, so what difference does it make. The one I put on, went on smoothly though.

I applaud K&M for bothering to cut straight threads. If Ultimate did the same, they would feel inclined to charge more, so ironically, I see it as a win.

Solid mic stand

Great mic stand base. I was using the tripod leg base but after buying this, I'll never go back.

Well-designed base coupling

I'll confess I haven't used the stands enough to comment on their long-term durability, but I do see one particular feature that I think is well designed and bodes well for their longevity: where the shaft meets the base there is a conical "shoulder" above the threads that fits snugly into a corresponding tapered hole in the base (think of a rubber stopper into a bottle), so that any bending stress is not transferred to the top of the thread cut, which is inevitably a weak point. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like they have a patent on this feature. That is a good sign that the stands will last. The height adjustment clutch seems sturdy, too. I treat my gear well and gig only about twice per month, so I expect these stands to last a long time. I've given it 4.5 stars because there is always room for improvement, and there must be a reason that other top-name stands such as K&M cost considerably more - in other words, Ultimate Support had to cut a corner somewhere to sell this at such a low price. But this is without a doubt MUCH better quality than anything from OnStage.

Pretty standard and OK

Hard to get blown away by a mic stand. This seems basic and fine. Not sure it is anything better than the OnStage stand I bought previously for a few bucks less. I'd call them about even.

Disappointed

The height lock stripped within 24 hours of use. Also, the weight isn't heavy enough to support my Reflexion Filter PRO + Mic which is why I bought it... This stand is just really basic and poor quality. Nothing special.
