So, I found the second cheapest boom mic stand available and got something of much greater quality than I expected (the cheapest was the Amazon Basics, but the videos showing the weak boom had me worried).

The quality is outstanding, Very impressive

When you get this thing in your hands you will notice the incredible build quality

good quality

The quality is great and the price is reasonable which we appreciate very much

The initial quality of the stand seemed fine

Great quality fast shipping

These seem to be great quality for the price

I'm going to be very honest, I wasn't expecting the stand to be nearly as stable or as sturdy as it turned out to be
