Very nice boom for situation in which one with a counter weight is not desirable. The lock is metal and the teeth allow a positive grip making sure slipping is impossible. Very well made. Quick to adjust. Depending on the type of microphone attached to it, one must take care of the balance of course. Since it doesn't have a counter weight the stand must be accordingly setup. I will buy more.

I cannot reccommend this due to the VERY light weight of the ar whcih extends from the arm that is attached to the very solid, and nice, Posi-Lok base. The extension is not well fitted to the larger arm ti extends out from and seems too light weight for long term useage, but time will tell. I believe making it out of a solid piece of aluminum or alloy would have made it much better. It is a sloppy fit in the base arm, and it seems that it will wear out very quickly. This can be problematic as I travel between locations and if one of the arms breaks during service, I have no method of carrying a back-up mic mount and arm. The rest of the Posi-Lok assembly appears to be excellent and durable so far.

So many times you buy something that disappoints, but this is not one of those things. I have several of the 7" booms, but this is the first adjustable extension boom--and my only one, but it works as expected. Even fully extended with heavy mics and pop filters it held strong. My only problem was my mic stand, which kept wanting to tip, so you'll need a counter-weight. In case your interested in my qualifications, I've been doing home recording in excess of thirty years and have used many types of booms. These are the ones I prefer, mainly because of the price to value ratio.

looking for a way to use a music stand to hold my tablet A, thought this unit would attach to the bottom lip of the music stand, but I had to buy another attachment from another vendor that would clamp onto the lip and then this boom would attach to it. Kinda like a halfway product review. The boom is ok, but for what I needed, I wish they would have offered the additional attachment.

It's a little flimsy at the end when fully extended. The cost could be a little less too. But for my use it works. Thanks again.
