Bought this together with Adam Hall SPS 36 M38 Reducer Flange to get a sturdy and heavy stand for the tube microphone that I am using for vocal recording. No more balancing with objects to counterweigh a heavy microphone, this combination works perfectly.
The construction is light weight but it feels sturdy.
I had some issues with screwing the bolt that holds the stand cylinder from turning around, it was a bit stiff in the beginning but with some force it gave in.
