I didn't research this because I just needed something quick to mount the mic. Pros: - Fairly low price - Small size is convenient for traveling - Rubber feet will not damage your table. Cons: - The lowest height setting is not enough to comfortably use my large-diaphragm condenser mic on a desk (if you don't mind your mic blocking your monitor) - No cable management aids (solved with some Velcro straps) - try Flip the Microphone revealed another issue with cable routing (or lack thereof). Final Thoughts: For the price paid, it's good enough. Portability and reliability justify the price, but the design is limited when used with condenser microphones.
