This stand has feet you can reposition, and the whole arm can be tilted. This means that as long as the center of gravity is inside the feet ends, this stand will hold a mic.
The one (potentially big) downside is that the upper part of the stand always can turn (it only locks downward movement), meaning that it's not convenient to use this to mic a snare bottom, or a bass drum.
I'd recommend a couple of these for anyone doing small stages and/or project studio work.
