K&M König & Meyer 21075.500.55 Tripod Microphone Stand - Adjustable Telescoping 1-Piece Boom Arm - Professional Grade - Heavy Duty with Folding Leg Base - German Made - Black

Heavy duty mis stand. You can feel the quality compared to a Samson Stnd.

I wanted something a little heavier duty than the generic stands for mic and holding ipad on. This is perfect for my needs: stable and easy to adjust. The first one they sent was missing pieces, so had to return.

German Engineering. ‘Nuff said.

I have a couple of the economy brand of boom stand that Amazon carries. They are ok for a budget minded alternative, but for holding the microphone in the position you need, this higher quality model is worth the money.I have a couple of different mics; one is a wireless Sennheiser 835 and the other is a Shure 58. They have some weight to them, but once I had them in place and tightened the locking knob, they stayed put.Good German quality for a fair price.

Not strong enough to hold a Rode Podmic!

I know the manufacturer didn't build this product for my purpose, but I'm using it for a GMRS antenna to deploy in the field during Search and Rescue events or just family gatherings and such. I have a GMRS repeater, and I put the antenna on this microphone stand, trail the coax cable to my repeater and attach that to a 12V power supply and we can talk for miles. For this purpose, this microphone stand is very stable and holds the antenna perfectly without any interference, and the base is wide enough that it doesn't blow over easily.

You can tell this mic stand is much sturdier than the lower cost mic stands… which out of fairness, many of them, have served me well for decades. What they HAVEN’T done, is last! The ergonomics of all the moveable parts on the K&M look and feel superior. The low center of gravity really feels superior with the boom fully extended, which for sitting down and playing/singing feels perfect. Previous boom/tripod base mic stands average life span for me has been about 5-7 years of moderate studio/gig use. Initial impressions are that this will live as long as I do - which with good care is what I guess we should expect from a mic stand!

This stand is a replacement for a failing OnStage cheapie. You do seem to get what you pay for with mic stands. This one holds not only the mic, but also a clamped-on iPad, both with no rattling or looseness. K&M for the win here!
