DOUBLE MICROPHONE STAND BOOM MIC ARM Adjustable Over 7' Foot Mike Stage Tripod
2**N
Worth the money
I just received my double boom today. The box was well sealed, the components inside did rattle about, it wasn't packed in peanuts or Styrofoam, just in the box.There wasn't any instructions with the item, but truthfully, you don't need them; it's quite self explanatory. Nothing was broken. It assembled as quickly as it was easy. There's no carry bag with it, but I wasn't expecting one. The clips (mic clip & clasp) screwed on effortlessly. All in all, I'm sure it'll be just fine to suit my needs. (Will be used for Rock band 3 and for use in some video production to clasp reflectors etc... to) My one and only gripe is that the secondary arm does have about a 2 inch leeway that I can't seem to correct, but it won't adversely affect my usage of the product.Just so you know... I have the Rockband mic which is relatively light, but I also have a professional mic with some good weight to it. If you're going to use one of these, and you extend the boom out 75% or greater, you "may" have a weight distribution problem. The stand is not heavy enough to balance the weight comfortably. A small sandbag or hell... two socks tied together with pennies in them will do the trick.I ordered the double boom on Sunday, March 13th, 2011 (late at night). Today (just for reference purposes) is March 17th, 2011. From ordered to opened in 4 days!The item shipped from Texas and I'm in South Florida. Not bad, not bad at all.Recommended.For the money, you just can't beat it.

Very cheap. But hey, it's cheap
I needed something to mount a galaxy hot-spot monitor and a microphone from one stand. There are boom stands a plenty out there, not double headed microphone stands, which seems unusual to me, because this would be such a natural for an accoustic guitar and vocal mic. A hot-spot monitor is a pretty heavy beast, much heavier than a microphone, and these little stands were pretty wobbly. I ended up doing some modifications which allowed me to mount the top of this stand into a sturdier base. It give me what I want (microphone and monitor on one stand base) and it is wobble free. I bought five of these at once, and had about 3 broken knobs in the kit. Overall, low quality light weight stuff, but it is so inexpensive you really shouldn't complain. The next closest thing that would do the job was about 5 times as expensive.

Mic stand -- standard product; great seller!
This mic stand is great for studio work; may be a bit lightweight for heavy on-the-road use though. It holds two mics and is great for a vocalist/acoustic guitarist who wishes to amplify the guitar without a guitar amp. The mic stand itself is pretty average in form, function and quality is slightly under par, but (as mentioned above), it's great for non-traveling use and well worth the price. For this price, it was a superb deal. All that said, it was the customer service from this company that really won me over. It is unsurpassed! The stand arrived with an adjustment knob broken (but still functional), and when I emailed the company, all they requested was a photo of the damaged part and the shipping box (I'm guessing for insurance purposes). As soon as I sent them the pics, they rushed a replacement knob to me. This company is, by my view, extremely customer-oriented and is willing to do what it takes to make sure the customer gets good value for their money. I highly recommend them and the product (which was a great deal for the price).

Could be better.
I was hoping to be able to set this up and use it for filming alone, but this barely replaces a boom operator.I have been able to make this work for my needs, but if you are planing on using it with a boom you will need to consider a system for providing a counter weight so it doesn't fall over. I use tent stakes and para-cord to tie down the stand in the opposite direction as the boom to keep it up. Sand bags or other counter weights might also be a viable option.I was disappointed by the number of tightening bolts, there was no way to lock down the adjustment for certain directions. Seems like that aspect of production was over looked. If you can find something else, i would recommend it.

It did the job but to awkward to use cause of missing peices.
Basically it did what it was supposed to do but it was definitely missing some parts to to fully function. I had to improvised and get some rubber bands to make it stand up lol. But overall i still use to this day until i get myself a different stand.I gave 3 stars because the missing pieces but it does get the job done.I like that is still up to this day and working.I dislike that it was missing a few important pieces to make fully functional.I would recommend for an up and coming artist until they get themselves something better.

Good And Bad....
I bought this microphone stand and i thought i was gonna get a good deal for 10 dollars. when i got the Mic stand it was in real good condition. everything in order. after a while i was playing around with it trying to adjust the height of the stand. suddenly the the boom came off its base. i thought it was nothing and that i could easily put it back in. the problem came when i tried to tighten the screw and it didn't hold the boom; it just slid right down. i was really upset, but i worked through it and i am still able to record with it. I GUESS I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR. IF YOU BUY THIS STAND BE CAREFUL ON HOW YOU HANDLE IT. IT IS A PRETTY GOOD MIC STAND.

You get what you pay for...it's cheap
Like I said, you get what you pay for. It's very cheap. The one good thing is that it has two places to hold your mics.Now the bad...It is very flimsy and you can't really tighten any of the clamps so it slides and falls easy. I am going to go to Home Depot so I can fit it with my own clamps so that it won't move. I think if you can do this then it's not a bad purchase. I would think if you are using this during a live performance you would be frustrated from is slipping and sliding.
