I got some ultra cheap mic stands earlier this year, and when the boom arms started to break on those, I needed new ones.
So, I got a bunch of these, and I'm really happy with them. I use them for drum miking mostly.
Since the boom arms are quite short, the mic stand needs to be close to the drum, but the plus side is that the boom arm won't get in the way outside the drum set, which is great if you are working with really small spaces, like I am.
