I've never seen a more full featured, and substantial stand even near this price point. There's more adjustability built in, than most "studio" booms, and the four, wide stance, legs with locking casters, practally assure no fall-overs, even given it's lightness. The last professional (old style) boom I bought came from a TV station auction. It wasn't as adaptable as this one, and weighed about 150 lbs. Even old, and at auction, it cost me more than twice what this stand costs - Buy this one!
I record live music, both outdoor and indoor, for a local radio station. Often I need to get a mike high and in front of the performers, and in the absence of roof beams or similar from which to hang a fishpole, this gets me the position I need. It even has the reach to come in from the side of a small group so that I don't impede the view of the spectators. At full stretch, especially with a heavier mike, it needs extra counterbalance weight. Outdoors (on grass) I can remove the castors and use skewers to pin it to the ground. Otherwise, I can tie a round cast iron mike stand base to a leg. A hugely useful and cost effective addition to any small studio, and light enough for me to transport easily to assorted locations. At this price, it's hard to ignore.
Unpacking this I was real excited because it seemed like it was going to be a huge, well contructed behemoth. Put together it is so big that at full extension it is a little unsteady. The tension screws are a bit difficult tightening the extensions, and the 4 legs seem a bit sloppy. It should work fine, I just don't think it is as sturdy as some of the other reviews say. Still I would pay for it again, because it is a good stand for the money.
