IN THE BOX: You get the mic stand in 2 parts, the threaded mic adapter, and a washer. BUILD: The stand weighs in at 2.6 pounds. It has a round 5.88” (149mm) cast-iron weighted base with a height range of 9.5” to 14.5”. The base features rubber feet to minimize movement and unwanted noise. The tubing is made of heavy-duty steel. Universal Mic Compatibility: Fits both ⅝” and ⅜” threaded mics. And the locking washer helps mitigate the mic spinning on the stand PROS: Price $15.99. Very solid build for the price. The ability to extend the height is very useful. Connects with both ⅝” and ⅜” threads. Included washer can mitigate mic spinning. The stand holds up great against desk bumps. They say this stand can be used for kick drums and low-profile speaker cabinets. CONS: Doesn’t come with a plastic mic cable clip like the more expensive versions do. Bad resonance. Would not be suitable for extremely heavy microphones like the Neat King Bee II. OVERALL: I find this desktop mic stand to be a great addition to my home studio. While I do own multiple microphone boom arms, they simply don’t offer the convenience this mic stand does.
