Sturdy and quiet!

The Ultimate MC-125 has a very heavy base that, besides adding stability, eliminates room noise from your recording. Fully extended, I can place a mic above my house(!), and with the counterweight, can place a mic or stereo pair above an ensemble without interfering with the audience. After hearing the difference, I would definitely shell out for a stable stand like this before investing in a $200 shock mount if non-mechanical vibration is an issue.

Don't like it - returned it

I have owned the Atlas rolling boom stand for 20 years. The construction of this stand is actually pretty good (thought the plastic clutch to raise and lower is a little questionable. The main problem with this stand is that the clutch for both angle adjust of the boom and where the boom is centered is one knob. So lets say you have the boom at a 30 degree angle up. As soon as you release the clutch the boom will now slide in the direction of the counterweight unless you hold it all in place (and the counterweight is very heavy - and non-removable). Bad design IMO. The function of holding the boom in place and the tilt adjust needs to be two separate knobs. Basic and essential.

    This stand was just awful. It is squeaky and dysfunctional. It wobbles a lot and hardly works. Please just buy ANY other stand but this one.

  • Best Mic Stand I have purchased!

    Wanted a smaller footprint version of an Atlas SB36W for a vintage microphone in a smaller space, The fact that the boom length AND angle are both adjusted by one plastic knob is a recipe for disaster - especially with the substantial weight on the boom. Once you realize that, it's not that bad ... EXCEPT when an artist tries to "help" and adjust the stand themselves for the first time. I wind up running in there to make sure the mic doesn't take a dive, or worse, the singer get clocked by the weight.

    In the studio, things are constantly in flux. When you use high-end mics, you want to protect them from the traffic. This stand is easy to move, yet is very stable. I can trust most precious mics on it.

  • Worth every ounce...

    I'm in the process of order my third MC-125. They are THE perfect mic stand for positioning room and overhead mics effortlessly.

    Really looking for a new mic stand for recording vocals and would love the base to be on wheels like this one. Is there another option for a regular recording mic stand on a wheeled base like this? Or just the wheeled base by itself?

    There are a couple of others but this is the best studio unit.
