I love this stand The third microphone stand is great. It's thick, durable and can definitely hold my Shure SM7b with anyone with ease. The cost of this mic stand is definitely worth the price. Looks sleek with a sturdy frame and internally routed cables. Quality feel with some heavy tension, metal levers and plastic knobs, they don't seem to break with a small twist. I love this stand and would buy it again. It works well and looks great on camera. The downsides are easy to overlook as the right handling and adjustment make it the perfect stand.
