Gator Frameworks GFW-MIC-0821 Compact Base Bass Drum and Amp Mic Stand

Of all the things I've got on my desktop including various deviecs, toys and souvenirs, this simple almost crude hunk of iron and plastic and steel is prolly the most lovable. It has one job to do, it does it well, everything fits and just works, it never complains, and it's so solid it will probably outlive me, my desk, my house, and the whole neighborhood. I'll likely buy a second one for my other office over all the other boom arms and mic stands I've tried. More expensive but better built and more functional. As heavy as it is, you're still getting a better price in terms of dollars per pound of iron than other mic stands. It's not super sophisticated and there are only two functions setting it apart from a cheap mic stand – the telescoping boom arm and a counterweight at the back in case the thing attached to the end of the boom is a little heavy. That an the super heavy base mean it's not going to tip over no matter what. Unless you do something really wrong, it's not going to tip over. Practically you can set it down on your desk, mount a microphone or lighting device or in my case a webcam rig on a gimbal at the end of the boom arm, adjust the counterweight so it's balanced just right, and then swing it around in when needed – so for me I can swing it right in front of me to the exact spot I want in 3 dimensions I'm using it and then push it out of the way when done. You could also find your own way to use it, like miking up a drum kit.

I’m really happy with the Gator Frameworks Short Weighted Base Microphone Stand. The heavy, low-profile base keeps it planted—no wobble—even when I angle the boom in tight spots around kick drums, guitar amps, or on a desk. Height and angle adjustments are smooth and secure, the threads feel sturdy, and the footprint stays out of the way of pedals and cables. Rubber feet protect the floor and kill vibration, and the integrated cable clip keeps things tidy. Simple, durable, and reliably stable—exactly what I want in a short stand.

This microphone stand has been exactly what I've been looking for, but I didn't know it until I found it. What I mean by that is that this is advertised as a floor stand for placing a microphone next to a drum or something similar. I was looking for a stand that would sit on my desk for use in recording video lectures. The most common recommendation for setting up that type of recording is to use a boom arm. I have been using one of those but I am never satisfied with it because when it is fully extended, it is just long enough to reach my mouth, but when it is not in use, it is very unattractive. The crazy thing is that it is almost impossible to find a boom arm that is attractive. Even the name brand models that are $100+ are just as unattractive as the one I'm using. I finally found a really attractive boom arm, but it was $400+. I really do appreciate how good it looks, but there is no way I'm ready to spend that kind of money on just the boom arm in my setup. So I was looking around after being scared off by the price of that when I stumbled onto this product. It appeared to meet my needs and after receiving it and setting it up, I was correct. This stand sits to my left and easily brings the microphone directly where it needs to be, while not obstructing my line of site to my computer monitors. When it is not in use, it is very easy to move out of the way, or if I decide to leave it on my desk it is much better looking than the boom arm it is replacing. After looking at this stand, it makes it even more perplexing as to why so many stands and boom arms are so unattractive. This thing looks and works great! And it is sold for a very reasonable price! Pros: - The weighted base is plenty heavy to hold it steady even when you have it extended all the way. - The knobs are easy to turn, making it easy to adjust - The pieces all feel very solid - It has integrated cable management

Good for the money, somewhat sturdy in most places, and it can hold a couple pounds. 2 complaints. A little wobble where the top arm swivels, and it can tip over if your mic is heavy and you don't have the long edge of the base plate facing at you. When you rotate the arm out of the way, I recommend rotating the whole baseplate to avoid tipping.

I was not planning on spending $60 on a desktop mic stand. The problem is that my current setup would not allow for a traditional Boom Arm as the desk I use has no "lip" to clamp the arm onto and I did not want to drill into the surface to accommodate a flange mount. Thus I began, in earnest, to shop for a weighted base microphone stand that would be substantial enough to hold a Röde NT-1 condenser mic. Most of the $15 - $20 desktop mic stands I viewed seemed flimsy or did not appear to be large enough to have confidence that they would not tip over. As I searched the Gator GFW-MIC-0822 kept appearing and I kept looking at it. The specifications were what I was hoping for, the build quality seemed decent, and the reviews were exceptionally favorable. What finally "sold" me was the option to make three monthly payments. So I ordered it. I am so happy that I did! This thing is a monster! The base weighs 10 pounds and there is a 2.5 pound counter-weight that comes with the stand. My NT-1 is being held steady without fear. The machining is good enough but not exceptional and all the pieces went together without complaint or issue. Three cable clips are included to assist with cable management and they appear to be of good quality, time will tell, but I am not overly concerned. If you are looking for an alternative to clamp-on boom arm mic stands or are considering one of these right from the get-go, I would absolutely recommend it without hesitation. This is the best microphone stand that I currently own and I will be considering Gator Frameworks for all stands in the future. They build sturdy, quality stands and you won't be disappointed when this arrives to your door. It will be heavier than you think, and that is a great thing as far as I am concerned.

Excelente soporte y excelente marca, pesado, da excelente estabilidad para mi PodMic de Rode de 900g, ampliamente recomendado si tiene suficiente espacio en su escritorio

Simple, straightforward base drum mic stand. Looks good and does the trick. Good value for money!

返品品なのか一度開封された中古品を購入。新品と比べると違いはあるでしょうが、ベース部分は重量がありますしその他の部分もしっかりした作りで、録音時にも安心して使用しています。

Easy to set up, perfect for my needs.. Very happy.

bella pesante, costo contenuto, ingombro ridotto ai minimi termini, credo che sarà uno di quegli acquisti che si fanno una volta nella vita e poi basta
