I'm using this stand with the Neat Kingbee II, which is a heavy microphone. I needed a solid desk stand, preferably one that looks good and is not more expensive than the mic itself.
Elgato Wave desk has been a great solution. The stand holds the mic safely and provides flexibility adjusting the position. It provides the right amount of friction to be easy to adjust but avoid accidental moves. In addition, it has a nice minimalistic design that pairs well with the mic.
According to the specs, the max load for the stand is 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs), but is perfectly capable of holding the mic safely despite the mic weight, over 1.1Kg (2.47 lbs), exceeding slightly the stand theoretical capacity.
It is a bit pricy, but I could not find a more affordable alternative that meet the requirements. In fact, it is available at a lower price point than similar solutions such as the Rode DS2.
The construction uses metal with a few plastic exceptions (such as the top part of the base). The plastic quality seems good, but at this price point, I'd expect a full-metal body.
