I tested the stand with photography umbrella + flash, and also with SM58 microphone.
Pros:
- The stand is occupying a small space on the floor, while being very stable.
- It returns to its balanced position even when inclined at 30 degrees from the vertical axis.
- The construction is sturdy, it does not wobble.
- The one-hand height adjuster is easy to use, although you need a little force to move it.
Cons: none
Before buying, I was thinking about adding the Gravity MS 2 WP extra weight, but didn't order it after all. The stands works very well without the extra weight.
