Tiger MCA68-BK Microphone Boom Stand, Mic Stand with Free Mic Clip - Black

I've had this mic stand for a little over a year now, and it has served me better than I could have ever hoped for the price I paid for it. I bought it just hoping for a mic stand sturdy enough to see me through some occasional use until I could afford something more sturdy. However, when the thing arrived, the quality was far greater than I had expected. I'm not sure if some of the lower-rating reviewers were definitely reviewing the same stand (I made sure to check for certain myself after reading their comments), because the joints are not all made of plastic. The T-section joint is metal, with a black powder-coated finish, and the tripod joint at the base is ABS-coated metal. The grip on the vertical shaft (for raising and lowering the stand) is indeed plastic, a tough ABS or similar, but in fairness if this was metal it would undoubtedly ruin the powder-coat finish on the vertical shaft. I was pleasantly surprised to find even the adjuster for extending the boom arm was a powder-coated metal. The screws used to tighten up areas of extension are all reliably strong, and have rubber stops to prevent them marring the poles. Even the rubber feet are yet to disappear into the nether, something I'm sure many people readng this review will have experienced with previous mic stands. I've certainly given this stand a fighting chance to impress, as I've been sure to keep it clean, dry and well maintained (a dab of silicone grease on the threads twice a year doesn't hurt, either), but I feel that this stand could certainly hold its own even if it was just chucked in the back of the van or garage every night! The only bad points I can offer about this stand are 1: There's no supplied mic clip, which for the price I think is fair, and 2: when extended to the maximum height (with the T bar above head height), it's a little unsteady with heaviers mics on it. However, it's unlikely that many people will need to extend the stand that high, especially with the extending boom arm that more than allows for upside-down condensers at a comfortable singing level. A good, reliable stand for a great price!

Bought this stand specifically to hold a calibration microphone for my AV receiver, and it’s been spot on. The mic holder is snug and keeps the mic firmly in place without any wobble, which is exactly what you need for consistent measurements.Build quality is much better than I expected at this price — the stand feels solid and doesn’t tip or shift, even when fully extended. The height adjustment is smooth and precise, so it’s easy to dial in the correct mic position at ear level, whether I’m calibrating for seated or standing listening positions.For something that costs so little, it’s a no-brainer if you’re doing room correction with Dirac, Audyssey or similar systems. Does the job perfectly, and I’m glad I didn’t overpay for a more expensive model.

Decent product. Cheap and it does what it says.however,Beware to those that have used quality stands before that the ARM is NOT removable. It is FIXED and actually attached with a little bit of a flimsy plastic tightener. If you are thinking of mounting a heavy mic and shield on here, I would look somewhere else if you were super adamant about having the best.Lastly, you will need an adapter of somesort to mount a shield.Good product for the price.

Excellent value and quality especially compared to eg Hercules

This stand is not great: it cannot hold heavy microphones, and it does not have sufficient weight to be relied upon for frequent usage. That being said, for the price this is acceptable. It does do its job, especially with lighter mics, and it's a lot sturdier than some other options I've used at this price bracket. I would, however, strongly encourage people to fork out an extra £10 for an OnStage stand, as they are of significantly superior quality and offer much more stability. If you can't afford that extra £10 though, this stand will work for basic applications, and it's certainly better than nothing.This stand was good enough that I chose not to return it, which says everything you need to know about it really. I will not be buying more as I can afford better options, but having an extra mic stand is always nice.

This was delivered very quickly within 48 hours and on receiving the first thing I noticed was the stand had a good 're-assuring' weight to it, and is definitely a lot more sturdy than the photo makes it look. An issue that 1 or 2 other buyers mentioned was the joint tighteners being below par. I can say that I think that's a bit of an exaggeration and although the main tightener on the stem is plastic it does it's job well enough. With good treatment it should last for many years.The top of the base stem, fully extended, is 164cm (5'5" in old money) from the ground, and the boom is 73cm (2'5") so the whole thing can get your mic 237cm (7'10") in the air. My mic is 350 grams and I reckon the stand could easily hold twice or three times that (and probably a lot more). For what I wanted it for, a small home studio, it is perfect. The clip came with it and will fit most if not all dynamic mic sizes.So ..I'm very happy with this purchase and yes, I would buy another one if and when I need two mics on the go. For this and for the very good price of £20 I give it 5 stars.

The media could not be loaded. For value for money you simply cannot go wrong with this mic stand! What ever your needs are !I wanted this for use with the Razor Seiren X microphone and it fits perfect together !Now when I make content I can have the mix closer to my face for much higher qaulity audio capture.The stand is of excellent quality, very strong and sturdy .It honestly fits my purpose 100% and I can guarantee it will satisfy your needs too.Why pay for something more expensive when this does the same job! And it just looks great too.
