K&M 210/9 Black

I was looking for a reliable mic stand for also vocals, recording acoustic and electric guitar. The first one that arrived had its min pole bent. For a while a thought ok, not a biggie, can live with that. But then when used for multiple occasions I realised it didn’t hold in specific positions because of the tilt. So I wrote to Thomann that I want to return it. They were super helpful. So got a new one, which is perfect, and my review is regarding that one.

The locking mechanisms are really stable, don’t have to apply to much force to keep in place, so they are not wearing down. The whole thing is very stable, don’t have to worry about bumping it. It can hold more heavier mics as well. The adjustable boom arm is really handy, as it allow to use it for different uses, heights. Really covers a wide variety a arrangements. Easy to handle, and quickly adjustable.

I have mixed feelings about this stand.
I use it at home, mostly sitting. I also use it on stage. I like the adjustable boom arm very much, it is super easy to set for just the right length and orientation and looks cool. The Tee handle for locking the angle of the boom is very strong, high pressure is easy to apply with the sliding handle. The feet and base are heavy and strong which makes it stable, even with a fairly heavy microphone at full extension.
Now the poor things. The rotating collar that locks the height is not very grippy and you need to really tighten it hard to set the height. The round knob for locking the base to the upright is a little flimsy and I think the thread on the screw could easily strip if you were to over tighten it (but that is true of most stands). It is fairly expensive for a mic stand but I have other, cheaper stands and this is far the best.
