Overall, this is a well-made product, marred by the fact that it is very unstable when fully extended. I like my mic stand to be in the "Brian May" position (i.e. fully extended and the upper bar horizontal. When the mic was attached, it overbalanced. I filled the base with a cement mortar, and it's better now, but still liable to fall over without a lot of effort. I pinched a finger quite badly when moving the the height adjustment fitting, so beware of that too.
On a gig recently, it toppled over mid song; most embarrassing.
