Hercules Stands Mic Stand Short Round Base

Well made and solidly built. The key feature is the quick-release height adjustment, which is great except for one thing: if you release the lever without supporting the bracket with the other hand, it will go flying downward, impelled by raw gravity! It can be quite a shock to frayed nerves but is easy enough to avoid once you are used to it. It is still possible to operate single-handedly.

This stand is perfect as a stand for your snare bottom mic. The telescopic stand makes adjusting height super easy without tightening/loosening bolts and the bites out of the base make it easier to position the stand inbetween other stands. Comes with a mic clip that suits any small dynamic such as an SM57. Perfect!

I was looking for a tripod, which is suitable for my desk. Its low price convinced me.

The tripod has the ideal weight to guarantee a robust stand for Podcasts and is very well processed. The height adjustment works reliably, too.

...but that's a compliment to its stability. It holds my Avantone cube without problems, and it's heavier then any microphone. Hercules always leaves the impression of industrial equipment - overbuilt but nice, in a brand-new-garbage-truck kind of way.

Great little mic stand. Only complaint it that it doesn't go low enough to mic small amps. Kick drums, big cabs and under snare are all ok.

Used this for a small radio station its perfect, and the base is nice, you can shove it into a Technics 1210 foot base and it gives it a bit more stability, but overall a very good stand., not disappointing at all!

I use it for recording guitar amps and piano. It's easy to install.

Really solid and practical stands.
