Roadworx Slim Line Mic Stand

The concept is great and I am on the road all summer busking and playing cafes, clubs and small venues. Something so collapsable seems like a great Idea for portability and space seems great at first until you use it.

This Stand is not up for the task. If you want something small and cheap for the corner of your home or apartment maybe thats ok if its never collapsed and moved often.

The wing nut and yellow angle adjustment snapped and broke off the second time I used it. Not sure where the wing nut went and maybe something else rolled away. I was playing on an outdoor deck and the small pieces fell through the cracks in the deck. In order to make the show go on, I ran to my car for some Zip Ties and totally macgivered something just to keep the mic attached to something without falling over.

Since I was on the road and living in a van all summer I never got around to doing anything about it and always tried to borrow a stand. From then on other wise it was duct tape to the stand and no adjustability during my sets.

The boom is very week and can barely counter balance the weight of a normal Shure Sm58. I also use a Mackie showbox and the mixer mounts to the mic stand. This is a very light weight mixer but the stand was very unstable and moved every time I need to touch something on the mixer.

I am kicking myself because I new buying it without seeing it would be risky but I was sold on the description and specs. It really is made with very cheap plastic and unreliable adjustability.

I should of put that money towards a real mic stand. Some things you just can't compromise and mic stands for anyone that knows is one of those things that can make or break a performance.

I don't recommend this item, Spend double to avoid the trouble. You get what you pay for.
