StaggMUS-ARM 1 Small Music Stand with Attachable Holder Arm,Black

So, I had this crazy idea that I could build a portable isolation microphone station with a music stand attached. After a lot of shopping here on Amazon and elsewhere, I decided to try using a Stagg MUS-ARM 1 Small Music Stand, an On-Stage MSA9502 Posi-Lok Mini Microphone Boom Arm, a Rockville Recording Studio Microphone Isolation Shield + Heavy Duty Tripod Stand, and a CAMVATE Ultraclamp with 5/8"-27 thread for microphones (Model #8541754602), I put them all together (along with an Anwenk Rubber Pads Rubber Washers with 1/4" Screw Hole for adjustment purposes) and IT WORKED! I actually built a portable isolation microphone station with a music stand!The clamp that came with the Stagg music stand would only fit around a regular microphone pole. But, I needed something that could fit around that heavy duty Rockville Tripod. The Cavamate clamp did the trick. However, now I needed to be able to connect the Stagg music stand to the Cavamate clamp. That's where the On-Stage boom arm came in! These items came together perfectly to form the configuration that I was looking to build. Well... almost perfectly. The threading on the boom arm when I connected it to the clamp ended with the boom arm about 45 degrees off of the direction I needed it to be in for the music stand to correctly oriented. So, I found the Anwenk Rubber Pads Rubber Washers and I only needed one to give me just the right amount of adjustment to get the orientation right!And it WORKS! It's strong, and sturdy. The tripod can hold all that weight without tipping over. It's GREAT!

I bought the Stagg MUS-ARM 1 to attach to a Hercules MS401B microphone stand and support a Digitech Trio+ Band Creator pedal. It performs that function, beautifully, and there is room left over on the platform. The mic stand's upright is one inch in diameter, and the Stagg clamp fits it with room to spare. The Trio+ and connected cables probably weigh a couple of pounds--not enough to stress the MUS-ARM 1, which seems quite sturdy. It was easy to set up and configure as I wanted it (see photo). It can be set up as a flat, horizontal platform if desired. The wider MUS-ARM 2 could not be configured flat without modifications, as described in another reviewer's post.Do I need to say that hanging anything off the side of a mic stand increases it's chances of tipping over? The MUS-ARM 1 is fairly heavy, by itself, and with additional weight on the platform, a stable mic stand is required to keep everything upright. With a tripod stand, position one of the legs under the MUS-ARM 1.I was surprised that there is no non-slip or cushion material inside the clamp. It seems to hold sufficiently well, but I might add some rubber pads in the "V" of the clamp, to see if they improve the grip. Otherwise, I'm satisfied.

This is a solid music/tablet holder, convenient and well-designed overall, but it misses the mark on a couple of details. I use it as part of an all-in-one music stand setup and it works quite well. The detachable head works well and makes things really easy to stow. The deficiencies are that it will not fit a 35mm stand as advertised, such as a speaker stand (33mm is about its limit), and the arm on the one that I have is a couple of degrees from being perpendicular to the stand. After using a competing K&M product for years I find these to be much sturdier and more convenient.

I ordered two of these, one to hold music, and one to hold a netbook computer. I am very happy with how it performs in both situations. High quality, solid support, and good design decisions all around. The angle adjustment is very solid and it should be able to hold a very heavy book of music or a medium sized computer.The arm is just long enough that if turn the platform sideways, you can lean the music stand back next to the mic stand that it is attached to. I will try to add pictures when I get a chance.This is really two products that work together: a short boom arm with a mic attachment, and a narrow music stand that mounts onto a standard microphone thread base. I am using one stand attached to a mic stand, and a second with the arm removed, mounted directly onto a "Gibraltar Multi-Mount Microphone Clamp". Major bonus points for making a solid piece of gear that is also modular and flexible.Note: the music stand easily detaches from the adjustable-angle part for storage. This is great, but be aware that the lock nut does not do a good job of "locking", so if you turn the stand upside down, the it will fall off. This could be a problem if you experience frequent random gravity fluctuations.Final verdict: I own two, and am considering buying one of the full-width (MUS-ARM 2) models also.

The arm is a great size, the sheet holder can be set at great viewing angles. Some similar products I've had didn't allow the surface to tilt as much as this one.I transported it twice to use at practice and somehow the set screw at the bottom of the music holder's post has become ruined and I can no longer tighten it, the stand is now useless. I reached out to the manufacturer - using the contact form on their website - to ask if parts were available and they did not bother to make any reply at all.I will have to weld it or throw it away.
