OnStage On Stage SMS7630B Hex Base Studio Stnd W/Tele Boom

I got an expensive mic and was afraid my cheap tripod stand would get bumped and fall over. I found this stand after a long search and did not want to waste money on a stand with plastic fittings that wouldn't last. This stand is very solid and quite large. The base is more than heavy enough to keep this from tipping over. It takes up a little more space depth wise but this thing is solid and will be around 20 years from now.

The base is so heavy, it tore itself out of the packaging, which is great - it gives more stability to keep the microphone from wobbling and moving around, which makes for better recordings.

I have owned an Ultimate Support mic stand and was looking for replacement. This mic stand has a nice primary pole however the boom is a standard mic stand. The real issue is the base plate. This thing is not only HUGE but HEAVY X 10. As a gigging musician it is absolutely not practical, I would not recommend. It is possibly 3/4 size of my Fractal FM9! Did I mention its HEAVY! I ordered another mic stand and will use the base plate for work outs, seriously.

I bought this to use for a video camera. I have been so impressed with how much weight it can hold without slowly sliding out of place like many mic stands do. this one has a REALLY heavy base. I would not personally drag it around with me to gigs, but it's absolutely perfect kept in my studio.

The Unit itself is everything I was looking for - Heavy weight and very long boom. The package however was received in terrible shape and fortunately resulted only in some superficial damage. Not enough to returned. I also agree with one reviewer that adjustment nob should have been metal instead of plastic. The unit however overall is Very good quality.

It's an excellent stand. Very well made and sturdy. The description says the base is 17 lbs, but the box says it's 16. Either way it's heavy enough to support my condenser mic -- a Neumann TLM 103 with a suspension mount. Like many other musical stand products I have purchased -- both cheap and expensive -- the knobs on this pricey mic stand are plastic. The shaft with threads is metal. But the knob itself is plastic. The knobs are the points that get the most use and, being plastic, will eventually dry out and crack. It's not like a knob on a guitar or amp that just gets moved to a particular setting. Mic stand knobs get twisted hard to apply pressure so that the position of the stand does not move. The plastic does appear to be harder and more solid than what I have seen on cheaper stands. Still, at this price, for such a nice stand, plastic knobs seem inappropriate.

Way more stable, same footprint (though base pole is taller), and less droop (no droop) than my similarly priced H&M. It is heavy, so, for some people, it may not be best for gigging, but it’s perfect for studio and home use. The tray that can be purchased as an accessory is also very useful.

If you want quality mic stands with telescoping booms built to last, these are the type to buy....well worth the money

I wanted a strong, stable stand but don't have enough space for the large overhang stands on wheels. This si perfect, holds a LDC mic, shockmount and Aston Halo. Awesome stand.

I purchased this item for use as a camcorder stand. It’s base weight provides perfect stability and the extending arm enables me to position my camcorder exactly where I need it. A perfect addition to my studio.

Very sturdy base which I was impressed with so I thought it would easily support my mic a Rode NT1A. However the boom arm needed to be tightened heavily for it to support the Rode NT1A microphone (I don't hold much hope for it to support my Blue Yeti). Also feel that the base could do with being able to be locked in place at the bottom of the upright to stop it twisting during height adjustment.
