Overall this is a great little mic stand. I use it to mic up electric guitar amps, and also to mic up accordionists, banjo players etc who are sitting down. I've also used it in studio to hold a small condenser mic on a guitar.
The main down side is that if the boom is extended to it's maximum it can be a little unstable, and sometimes it feels a little loose. But normally I wouldn't have it fully extended, and to be fair I've had this a couple of years now so it's been through the mill and is still standing!
