It seems pretty cheap and very sturdy. I've had a more professional hand at some point and this hand definitely feels a lot worse. It doesn't like to move, so adjusting it doesn't feel or sound good during use. You really have to pull quite hard even with the knobs completely detached. If you try to adjust the position of the microphone, you must always turn it to the right, otherwise it will easily unscrew from the base of the microphone. Nothing holds it down. It stays secure and does what it's supposed to do as long as you don't need to move it, so I'd say the price matches the durability, but that's about it. If you're looking for podcast quality darts, you're probably looking for one that costs two or three times the price of that dart for good quality.
