Great stands for the price!

The stand is used to hang a studio lamp which is moveable.

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.

Price is unbelievable. Great sturdy stand for studio work. Adjustability is premo, and the thing is built like a tank. I use it for drum overheads.

This is the coolest mic stand I have ever owned. It is huge towering up to 15 feet above the stage and is more versatile than I could have hopped for. True pro audio gear

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.
