This stand features a light weight, a very low cost and a correct build, but it is not suitable for heavy use, when perfect stability is needed nor for supporting larger weights. We use them for pickup mikes, for example a Shure SM57 in front of a guitar amplifier, or as a mike stand for soloists who use to take the mike in hand during the songs, an put it back afterwards on the stand.
But for large choir or heavy microphones, we suggest using a more sturdy and rigid model.
