all puns aside, I have nothing but good things to say about this stand. I have a lot of ultimate stands - they're an industry standard - and for the price, function, quality they CAN be beat but for about five times the price (well, maybe two or three times, I stand corrected). I manage my (sixteen year-old) son's band(s) at a lot of one-night stands, and this has put up with much abuse for over a year now. My local music store (where we buy most of our equipment) has this as a near-competetive price, but I can't stand paying state sales tax. That makes this all the more attractive. Buy it and see. Outstanding.

I bought 3 of these, based on the 18 Jan 2010 review by "Tom Paine (NB)," for miking instruments played while seated (classical & bluegrass mandolins, Russian domra) to avoid a larger, higher mike stand interfering with a view of the performers and instruments. My first impression, out of the box, is that they're very solidly made of quality materials and also well designed. The one very small gripe I have is that I wish the tripod base had a rounded notch so the boom would fold down into a smaller cylindrical shape. If the shaft is extended, the boom folds closer to the shaft, but then the overall folded/stowed stand is longer. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a short mike stand with boom. I purchased mine from Dale Pro Audio in NYC, thru Amazon. They arrived 2 days after my order.
