Tiger MCA68-BK Microphone Boom Stand, Mic Stand with Free Mic Clip - Black

Bought this stand specifically to hold a calibration microphone for my AV receiver, and it’s been spot on. The mic holder is snug and keeps the mic firmly in place without any wobble, which is exactly what you need for consistent measurements.Build quality is much better than I expected at this price — the stand feels solid and doesn’t tip or shift, even when fully extended. The height adjustment is smooth and precise, so it’s easy to dial in the correct mic position at ear level, whether I’m calibrating for seated or standing listening positions.For something that costs so little, it’s a no-brainer if you’re doing room correction with Dirac, Audyssey or similar systems. Does the job perfectly, and I’m glad I didn’t overpay for a more expensive model.

I've had this mic stand for a little over a year now, and it has served me better than I could have ever hoped for the price I paid for it. I bought it just hoping for a mic stand sturdy enough to see me through some occasional use until I could afford something more sturdy. However, when the thing arrived, the quality was far greater than I had expected. I'm not sure if some of the lower-rating reviewers were definitely reviewing the same stand (I made sure to check for certain myself after reading their comments), because the joints are not all made of plastic. The T-section joint is metal, with a black powder-coated finish, and the tripod joint at the base is ABS-coated metal. The grip on the vertical shaft (for raising and lowering the stand) is indeed plastic, a tough ABS or similar, but in fairness if this was metal it would undoubtedly ruin the powder-coat finish on the vertical shaft. I was pleasantly surprised to find even the adjuster for extending the boom arm was a powder-coated metal. The screws used to tighten up areas of extension are all reliably strong, and have rubber stops to prevent them marring the poles. Even the rubber feet are yet to disappear into the nether, something I'm sure many people readng this review will have experienced with previous mic stands. I've certainly given this stand a fighting chance to impress, as I've been sure to keep it clean, dry and well maintained (a dab of silicone grease on the threads twice a year doesn't hurt, either), but I feel that this stand could certainly hold its own even if it was just chucked in the back of the van or garage every night! The only bad points I can offer about this stand are 1: There's no supplied mic clip, which for the price I think is fair, and 2: when extended to the maximum height (with the T bar above head height), it's a little unsteady with heaviers mics on it. However, it's unlikely that many people will need to extend the stand that high, especially with the extending boom arm that more than allows for upside-down condensers at a comfortable singing level. A good, reliable stand for a great price!

The stand ordered was definitely excellent value for money. It is heavy and sturdy enough to support my particularly heavy microphone, even when angled at about 120 degrees towards the singer. Its build is of excellent quality - the clamps do not slip, the arm and stand extend to a good height whilst remaining sturdy, and the longer length of the feet means that the angled stand is very sturdy.The only negative i can see is that the plastic around the joins is a little brittle or worn. however, the overall build of the stand is great; it is solid, painted, heavy and a great looking stand.

Excellent value and quality especially compared to eg Hercules

Well I took a chance on two these, as a bunch of my mic stands are on the way out. Always difficult to tell from the images what you are going to get...Although these are described as 'Professional', they are far from it really. All the components apart from the poles are plastic, so longevity is not expected. Might be ok in a studio but on the road, I really don't see them lasting very long. The first one I opened also rattles with any contact (the inside pole of the extending upright is not a tight enough fit). Similarly the base doesn't hold the bottom of the upright securely and wobbles around - meaning you have to tighten the thumb screw as much as possible, which will then lead to a damaged thread. This is where most stands suffer anyway.The second one seemed a little more sturdy but again, these are very lightweight and on any sort of wonky stage or ground will be sending noise straight through the mics. Not great but really can't be bothered to send them back. Likely I will just keep them mostly for the studio.i appreciate the price point but don't expect too much.

The media could not be loaded. For value for money you simply cannot go wrong with this mic stand! What ever your needs are !I wanted this for use with the Razor Seiren X microphone and it fits perfect together !Now when I make content I can have the mix closer to my face for much higher qaulity audio capture.The stand is of excellent quality, very strong and sturdy .It honestly fits my purpose 100% and I can guarantee it will satisfy your needs too.Why pay for something more expensive when this does the same job! And it just looks great too.

So I managed to get a really big hall booked to record my band and decided we'd lay down the basis of the songs live, I had stands for my drums but was two stands short to create live tracks. I ordered two of these not really expecting much just hoping that they'd hold up until we were done recording. The arrived the day after I ordered and the boxes weighed a ton. When I opened them I honestly couldn't believe the quality. They are absolutely solid. Made of some form of metal with minimal plastic parts. I ended up using the two stands I bought as my drum overheads because they can go extremely high, hold a lot of weight at that height and not tip over. As soon as I have a bit more money I intend to get another eight or so of these incredibly cheap, studio quality microphone stands, I cannot give enough praise to them.
