Yamaha CS-865 Cymbal Boom Stand

Right now I'm using this stand for a 18" crash. It's very easy to handle overall.. All the parts seem to be high-quality; nothing feels flimsy or cheap-made.
The only negative thing I have to say is that it lacks counter weight. Right now I've got my ride connected to my bass drum tom-holder with a small boom arm, and I want to keep my 18" crash above the ride. That means:
1. I need to have my boom pretty far extended so that the cymbal is close enough for me to hit it -- if I want the boom to be linear with one of the stand's legs (you know, the most stabile way to put things on stands).
OR
2. I put the stand's legs closer to my bass drum side, keep the boom a bit shorter, but then the boom is just between two legs of the stand. If you imagine it by looking it from above, it's the least stabile option you can have.

So now the stand/boom shakes a bit when I hit it. A counter weight would fix the problem.

TLDR: Great stand if you don't extend the boom all the way. 94% pleased.
