[Black] We have two of these and maybe another 4 or 5 K&M mic stands. Love them all, worth the money. We hung these from the ceiling via threaded rod to support a couple of shotgun mics in our little video studio. We'd been using lav mics, but they're a pain, so we thought a couple of shotguns that could be permanently hung from the ceiling would be the thing to try. But we needed to be able to move the mics where we needed them, and that's where these booms came in. They work like a charm! Easy to balance, so that even at full extension, they hang level, and the threaded rods they hang from hang straight down. Just what we needed.

[5/8"-27 Male] This replaced a boom arm, made by another company, that failed when the threads stripped that secure the telescope arms. This one has considerably more thread surface and better knobs to turn so I expect it will last much longer. This is a very high quality product.

[Steel] I use a mic stand with a boom for performing folk/country music with a band and solo. I have used many cheap stands in the past, and there are always issues with them. This stand and boom are very high quality and appear to be built to last. The boom is the perfect size and telescopes in to a very short length for transport. So far, I have not seen anything negative about this boom.

[Black] This is a rock solid boom made with the best German engineering and quality metal that we all come to expect. There is nothing negative about this product.

[5/8"-27 Male] As a studio owner I already own a lot of boom mic stands. Over time some of the booms go bad while the main shaft remains fine. Why replace the entire stand when you can just get a high quality boom replacement for less than half the price. Love it! These are really great. I was embarrassed a few times by my old mic stands drooping with a heavy condenser mic during a session. Now I don't have to worry that. This model boom arm holds firm. I'm happy and will be getting some more.

[5/8"-27 Male] This is a very good boom arm that I have screwed on top of my light stand for podcasts. Super high quality with loads of good features.


Pros:
+ Pretty solid friction force. So good that I didn't even have to put a counter-weight on my stand.
+ Easy to use knobs for rotation and extension.
+ Clip for holding xlr cables
+ High-quality build


Cons
- Definitely a shorter arm


I've been using this for a few months at this point and it has not disappointed. I highly recommend this product.

[1.565 lb] It's just the right length for my application. I have a tight working area for audio. I have the boom on a microphone stand behind the rack and it comes through from the back, so that the microphone is positioned directly over the mixer. Plenty of adjustments make it fit almost any application.

[5/8"-27 Male] Industry standard. �Who am I to argue with that?

[1.565 lb] Great addition.

[5/8"-27 Male] I use these on tall stands, short stands, round base stands (Atlas bases lol) and I love it on all of them. The extra leverage from the bar for the tilt adjustment allows for very tight holds on larger microphones. looks very professional and no complaints from musicians about impotent stands! Get this...
