Excellent for stereo recordings
Excellent microphone bar for stereo recordings. It's really amazing. Build quality looks like K&M, there is a lot of possibility in movement, and any microphone fits very well. I ordered this in combination with the Superlux MS200, but I was not happy of the MS200 and I returned it back (replaced with a much lighter Manfrotto). But I have to say that this stereo bar fits all my needs. Very nice that each step is lockable (the scale you see are not centimeters, but steps) and also the horizontal angle of the microphone has 'steps' of 15 degrees. Very useful when you want to setup a NOS system (90 degrees of angle). I do it in no brainer, very quickly. You can also hand it with wires, it has that option too.
The cons are that it's a bit heavy, so you need a good stand.
Apart from that, it's an excellent product.

Sturdy, large stereo bar
While this stereo bar comes with nice gradients and angles for various near-coincident techniques I don't use any of that. I use this for AB or Blumleins with big heavy mics like ribbons and LDC's and it works. Great. And it's cheap.
Anyone interested in doing location recording or stereo drum mic'ing that goes beyond the "two pencil mics above the cymbals" paradigm should pick one up. This plus a decent, sturdy mic stand and you're set. They go from taking 30 minutes of wiggling two stands about 5 minutes.
Downsides? the little indents to space the two points are a little far apart. You can make up for by jiggling your mic in its mic stand. For vertical setups like Blumleins where the capsules are already offset, it's not much of a big deal anyway.
