I used it once and had to buy something else. The mechanism that compresses the angle of the shaft has no teeth or gears to hold it in place. As soon as you place the microphone on the stand, the shaft begins to sag. You have to ridiculously tighten it to keep it where you want it. I had to tighten it so tight I was afraid I would break it. And even in this case, a slight downward pressure can cause the boom to drop. I've had many other mic stands that also didn't have locking teeth for this mechanism, but for some reason they didn't have the same problem as this one. I've also had a couple of small serrated mic stands on top of this mechanism and they seem to work the best. This one was very disappointing. I'll keep it as a spare, but it won't be my main performance stand. Fix this mechanism and I would rate it 5 stars.
