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
