PyleDesktop Microphone Stand - Universal Tabletop Mic Holder w/ Flexible 8.2'' Inch Gooseneck Mount and Solid U Shape Base - Perfect for Table Desk or Counter - PMKS8,Black

This microphone stand was much better than I anticipated because it was priced so low. It is very sturdy and heavy and sits firmly on your desk. I use it to hold an SM57 microphone. I believe that it will last a very long time.

This is a VERY sturdy mic stand. Some are complaining about the height not being as claimed, but if I take a tape measure and measure from the bottom of the base to the top of THEIR MIC ATTACHMENT as it is arranged to be perpendicular to the gooseneck (like their photo, but with the gooseneck straight) ... I measure 12 inches. I think that whether or not you like it is a matter of whether it fits your individual needs/requirements. The base is quite heavy. The gooseneck is very firm and definitely takes two hands to maneuver - but this is the same characteristic that will keep it from bending to the weight of a microphone in a way that you might not want. I count it a good thing. The (very sturdy) gooseneck is about 7.5 inches long from end to end, not counting the threaded ends. The base itself is a painted and highly textured die cast metal. For whatever reason, I immediately thought about rust when I received it (perhaps because it reminded me of wrought iron) and I looked down into the base and yes, the threads in the base were already rusting. I took some WD-40 and a paper towel and cleaned that out first (it was pretty dirty, it took a few passes), then sprayed the threads of the gooseneck before attaching it to the base. I had no problems attaching the gooseneck to the base, and no problems with attaching another microphone holder that I have to the top end. The threads are the standard microphone threading of 5/8 inch, 27 threads per inch. And yes, because there is no jam/lock nut included, your mic clip may end up in a wonky position or "unthread" itself if the positioning is not right. I don't have any spare lock nuts but intend to purchase a couple of them with another order from another site that sells them. Then I figure this little stand will be pretty much perfect for my needs, and at a very low price for the quality.

Served my needs. Heavy material. Help up falling , well with me dropping it. Thanks

I bought it to use as a bedside/desk mount for my phone, with a few alterations and some added bits it works well for that, I removed the mic bracket and attached a regular magnetic car phone mount. it holds my phone at a good angle so I can see it from bed and I can mount/dis-mount the phone without fumbling for a slot or retaining devise, the magnet just sucks it in. I did this because I wanted something heavy that will stand it's ground when engaging and disengaging the phone. all the magnetic phone mounts on Amazon were very light (6-10 ounces), but this thing weighs 2 pounds and it holds my Note10+ perfectly. I'm giving this 5 stars because I feel it would also be good as a mic stand for all the same reasons, it's heavy, stable, the flexible mount stays where you put it, and the price is right.

These are great little stands for micing amps and kick drum. Wellb built; they will last a long time.

This V/U Shaped Base Design is perfect for a Desktop solution especially for doing recordings using better sounding Condensor Microphones. These Microphones can be heavier with the Anti-vibration Cradle and a Pop Filter attached, so this design does keep the Mic stable and pretty much free from ever falling over in any direction. I record primarily Voiceovers, and while I have a smaller Hollyland Wireless unit, which sounds great, nothing beats the sound signature of a good Condenser Microphone. My Rockville RCM SR is connected to a Scarlett Solo Mic Preamp via XLR, when I am recording. This V/U Design is not only very stable, but has a clean professional look as well....that is UNTIL YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK!!!! the Construction of the Pyle Mic Stand is something out of the 1980's with what looks to be a ROUGH CAST IRON FINISHED METAL!! Out of the box, it had some spotting that needed to be removed, the Tee-Tiny Sponge Cushioning feet are simply not enough to keep the base from making direct contact with your Desktop, and in this case mine is GLASS! And one of the Tiny Cushions were gone altogether making the base uneven and a threat tot scratch any desk it comes in contact with!! The Gooseneck is sturdy but again an old design, that likes moving in one direction but not against the Spiral Wrap. I removed the rest from the Tiny Feet and fashioned my own from some rubber pads that I had from another piece of kit I was not using. I trimmed the Pads using an Exacto Knife for clean look, although some of the rough edges of the base, didn't help the trimming. This is a great Design in need of a Modern Refresh and my suggestion would be to make this base out of a Heavy Polymer, adding metal in and under the bases canal for stability, sufficient footing and offer the unit in several colors, including Red, Pink, White, Black and Silver!! You could even mix and match Stand and Neck Colors!? Add 12 Bucks to the price, and they would be one of the best selling Desktop Mic Stands here!!! (My unit measures accurately the hight in the specs, is at the perfect height when slightly bowed with the Microphone Mounted, 12.5 inches form the desk to Diaphragm Center) Do I reckoned this stand...YES, for the 12.99 it costs, it does the job. But if it were a Dollar more...no!! ;). If they take my advice, I'd pay 25 bucks for a White One!!
