SAMD5 Desktop Microphone Stand

I don't usually read reviews that start with "I just received this and it's really good" because I like to hear about the experience of someone with knowledge of the product who has tested it over a long period. But this is a really simple and solid piece of equipment, so there is nothing to go wrong with prolonged use. I was delighted with my Rode USB microphone's performance, but disappointed with the flimsy plastic tripod stand that kept tipping over -- and i only got that yesterday. By contrast, this stand is heavy, it doesn't move, and the heavy microphone stays put. The stand has a soft ring underneath that protects my desk without having to put a cloth underneath, and, just as important, the ring grips the desk so that the base of the stand does not slide. I am grabbing the stand now and trying to move it sideways. It doesn't budge at all. I have to lift it. Don't be put off by the low price: this is a really good stand that feels like it will last a lifetime. If it didn't, it wouldn't break the bank to replace it, but I don't expect to have to do that. This is a totally unsolicited review; I am not getting any reward of any kind. I am grateful for a product that does what it says on the box and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Excellent stand. Heavy and sturdy.

Very simple and sturdy to place on a desktop. Fitted my microphone exactly. There is an adaptor included to fit different size. Perfect height. No bad points. Great value!

Hmm. So, I have a R0DE NT mini USB mic for voip gaming. The r0de mic picks up so much that I reduced the input, but needed the mic to be close to my mouth. I bought the R0DE mic stand, which is nice and premium, great quality, love it.. except its too tall and blocks my view. So I searched specifically for a 5" mic stand and found this one. It is sturdy, solid, fits well and is the perfect height. It really is everything I need. It's just that compared to the r0de mic stand, it feels far less than premium.

This is a strong and stable microphone stand. I recommend you buy along with various different fittings and shown in my photos. Even if you have the right size already you will benefit from using multiple connections in series.

For £11 this really is a bargain as its exceedingly heavy, very well constructed and a simple "buy once and use forever" type of device. I purchased it in order to use in conjunction with the rather spiffing and pocket money priced Neewer Cardioid Condenser Mic (£19 on Amazon, ASIN B017SJU2DK - Check out my review) and it works perfectly. At around 6 inches wide and the same high its the perfect size for desktop use and weighing in at 1.5kilos means it won't be sliding anywhere and will keep your microphone right were you want it to be. Its really wide compared to my microphone and as such it ensures that the shock mount holds the mic in securely and is fixed very well which is great for peace of mind as some of the other stands I'd looked at appeared quite a bit thinner/flimsier and were, bizarrely, more money than this. Overall a great quality product at a bargain price so if you're looking for a mic stand then scoop this one up. If you found my words handy please show some love and click YES below and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I bought this as a replacement for my boom stand, as my blue snowball did not fit the screw connector. Delivery was quick, and the packaging was sturdy enough that no damage was received in transit. My snowball fits perfectly onto the stand, as does the ringer shock mount I use with it. The base is sturdy and very weighty, meaning I can even tilt the microphone to the horizontal without even a hint of wobble or give. The base diameter is larger than I expected, so anyone with limited desk/table space should be prepared for this.Anyone hoping to use a small screw microphone with this stand should maybe look into getting a screw adapter of some kind, otherwise no other faults at all. Overall - excellent price, excellent service, excellent product.

I'm not sure what I expected from this product, but it is basically a weight with a threaded bar for £15. The good point is that it appears to hold my Rode NT1 (with shock mount and pop shield), which is great, but it's pretty basic and cheaply made. The reason for the 3 stars was due to the internal threaded part of the weight and the external parts of the bar, which are very poorly finished and needed repeated lining up when putting it together and mounting my microphone. Basically the threads are badly aligned as well as the metal being sharp and soft (easily damaged). I'm not sure I believe the authenticity of other reviews or I just got a poorly made one!
