I always wanted a mic stand that is stable, and the reason is that I often find my self to field recording different assets for different projects. For example, I use a quite long Shotgun and I tend to record Audio Assets that need the mic stand to be on its total height (Because I do the recordings by my self) and I never had a problem of stability with this mic stand, besides the hard circumstances neither of any vibrations from the ground (I use Shock Mount as well) 10/10 for the pirce range.
