This microphone stand has been exactly what I've been looking for, but I didn't know it until I found it. What I mean by that is that this is advertised as a floor stand for placing a microphone next to a drum or something similar. I was looking for a stand that would sit on my desk for use in recording video lectures. The most common recommendation for setting up that type of recording is to use a boom arm. I have been using one of those but I am never satisfied with it because when it is fully extended, it is just long enough to reach my mouth, but when it is not in use, it is very unattractive. The crazy thing is that it is almost impossible to find a boom arm that is attractive. Even the name brand models that are $100+ are just as unattractive as the one I'm using. I finally found a really attractive boom arm, but it was $400+. I really do appreciate how good it looks, but there is no way I'm ready to spend that kind of money on just the boom arm in my setup.
So I was looking around after being scared off by the price of that when I stumbled onto this product. It appeared to meet my needs and after receiving it and setting it up, I was correct. This stand sits to my left and easily brings the microphone directly where it needs to be, while not obstructing my line of site to my computer monitors. When it is not in use, it is very easy to move out of the way, or if I decide to leave it on my desk it is much better looking than the boom arm it is replacing.
After looking at this stand, it makes it even more perplexing as to why so many stands and boom arms are so unattractive. This thing looks and works great! And it is sold for a very reasonable price!
Pros:
- The weighted base is plenty heavy to hold it steady even when you have it extended all the way.
- The knobs are easy to turn, making it easy to adjust
- The pieces all feel very solid
- It has integrated cable management

Works great. It is very sturdy and maneuverable. I am using it with my at2020 xlr mic.I freaked out for about 10minutes because I could not figure out how to attach the mic to the stand. I'm a newbie at this. Looked online and discovered that the part of the mic clamp thing that screws on to the stand has a metal adapter in it that needs screwed out with a coin. I'm not great at describing things, but if you look at the photo you'll see that I'm holding the bit that needs screwed out.Anyway, great product. Packaged well.

Great desktop stand
By Skitzy69 on April 18, 2019
I know this stand is designed for drum and amplifier microphones, but it works great as a desktop stand too! It holds my Blue Yeti without any issue at full extension. Granted, it wouldn't take much more than the Yeti to allow it to fall over. Keep in mind, the Yeti weighs 1.2 lbs. I can't wait to record my next podcast without the stage boom I was using. Would definitely recommend!

Best Boom Stand on the Market
By CWard on April 10, 2019
This is heavier than many cast iron floor stands. It also features a heavier counterweight than I have ever seen on any single mic boom. I ordered this on a whim to use in a hotel room while traveling to do some voiceovers. I will certainly be ordering more to use on stage back home. The boom extends a second time which was not apparent in the picture. It also comes with three cable management clips. Very impressed and pleased.

Subpar threading, light imperfection in base
Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2021
The threads are badly finished, with imperfections and burrs. There's a big visual imperfection on the base. Since I'm using this on a desk, it's apparent, looks like a stain and doesn't wash off.Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2021
Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of the frame work. Very sturdy. I believe it will last a lifetime. I would have given it 5 stars if the finish on the threads was better. It doesn't need to be perfect, but these are bad. It's a shame that spending maybe $1-2 on deburring the threads properly would have made this product legendary.
As for the "stain" on the base, ok, big chunk of iron to use as a weight, fine. I've bought tons of kettlebells from dragondoor and none have that type of imperfection. I wouldn't take a star of for that, since it's still functional, but quality control where are you?
