PyleHeavy Duty Microphone Stand-Height Adjustable from 51.2'' to 78.75'' Inch High w/Extendable Telescoping Boom Arm 29.5'' and Stable Tripod Base-Clutch in T-Bar Adjustment Point PMKS56

This is a very sturdy stand for the price. I do wish the company would package it better. I ordered two. The first one I opened was perfect. The second had been damaged in shipping. One of the tension knobs was busted and the extension arm was jammed into the holder. The holder was bent and the plastic was damaged. I promptly ordered a replacement and received it within two days. Unfortunately it too had a problem. The small tension knob on the extension arm would not tighten. The screw hole needed to be tapped out. I returned that one for a refund and bought another one. I know what you are thinking..."two of the three were either defective or damaged, why would you order another?"Please hear me out....I LOVED the first one. It does what it is supposed to do. These stands will not be used on the road, but will be used in my classroom to hold light-weight condenser microphones.The replacement stand came today (12-29-2020) The box was beat up. It had been opened and retapped. I was worried. I looked it over as I was pulling it from the box....not a scratch on it. Best of all...IT WORKS! Yea!! Happy customer here.

Very sturdy

No defects or issues, very sturdy and easy to setup. I’ll recommend to anyone.

After much research I got Samson Mk-10. But it didn’t hold My Audio-Technica AT2035 condenser microphone properly. It was prone to tipping over and the boom arm was too short of my requirement. So I returned it and got this Pyle Heavy Duty Microphone Stand. I ordered this mainly because of it sold base and its lengthy boom arm (29.5)My requirement was to play digital piano and record vocal from condenser mic. So I needed a long boom arm with sturdy base. Pyle was the perfect choice for that. I kept the Pyle stand on the extreme left side of the piano and extended (80%) the boom arm till the middle C of my piano. Then attached the condenser mic and tightened the boom arm knob in 40 degree angle.To my surprise the boom arm didn’t hold my microphone in 40 degree angle. It slowly started sliding down to 180 degree. I tightened the boom arm locking knob multiple times but it didn’t work. Then finally I added counter weight (my tools bag) on the extreme left and it did the magic.Verdict1. Perfect choice if you would like to attach dynamic mic2. Perfect choice if you would like to attach condenser mic with boom arm extended to the max of 50%. If you extend the boom beyond 50% you need a counter weight.3. For this price you cannot get a good microphone with solid base.Likes1. Solid base2. Base locking knob3. PriceDislikes1. No cable rings2. Poor boom arm locking knob3. Plastic covering on one side of the boom came off on the first day itself. It is not glued properly.4. No option to add counter weight.

This is a product review and Pyle makes sturdy equipment which I why I purchased this stand. It's very similar to the stands my band uses for our PA monitors.The boom arm can be used or not depending on your preference. The stand is NOT lightweight. It's heavy duty and the tripod legs can be width adjusted to suit your needs.Unfortunately, the Amazon drive delivered me a box with two holes in it.The tightening screw that secures the boom arm onto the stand was protruding. And there was another hole down toward the bottom of the box.When I opened the box, found the boom arm had been scuffed badly enough in two places so that the paint had been removed.Because I need this stand for three upcoming gigs, beginning tomorrow, I didn't have time to mess around with the return process.I've purchased many items from Amazon and never had a delivery issue. I called Customer Service, yelled at the automated system until it put me through to a REAL person and explained the problem.The rep was very helpful and worked quickly to resolve the issue. TY Amazon rep...wherever you are.My only complaint is that the stand doesn't come with any clips to hold the mic cable in place. Since the diameter is larger than normal stands, my other ones won't fit. Would be nice if Pyle included 2 or 3 like everyone else.

Nice quality

This thing has everything you want in a good, solid mic stand. I am 6'3" and it adjusts plenty high for even me to stand and sing into a mic. It is black powder coated steel, has rubber tips on the feet so it won't slide around. The adjusting knobs for tightening and loosing. There's even a metal rod you can use to keep the upright part from collapsing down which snaps into several pre drilled holes if you wish to use it. The only thing that might bother some folks is that it doesn't collapse and fold down as far as some that you can carry in a bag. But I've found that the types of stands that collapse and fold, etc for more convenient carrying are usually flimsier or have to be taken apart. I really can't think of anything negative to say about this stand. It lives up to its description!! Hard to believe this stand is that inexpensive. You can adjust it down for sitting on a stool or standing or anywhere in between and the boom pole is also fully adjustable. It doesn't sag or change position once you have it adjusted and with everything tightened this mic stand will stay where you set it.
