Ultimate Support Accordion Accessory (MC125)

A beast of a mic stand, no knocking this one over.

Ultra Tank Update...bought a second one and it is a Tank also... no issues with the locking parts yet. This one seems less well produced than my first one, The wheels do not thread well and i stripped the supplied tool trying to get them on properly. Also the main pole is a little crooked when screwed in fully. I may have gotten a refurb. The wheels looked used a little and the barcode next to the serial number has been ripped down the middle. ???? Aside from that it is a great stand.

Impressive stand for the price point. Note that premium stands go for $800 and up, low end below $100, so this sits at the 'better than cheap' and the design appears to live up to it. Note that another review about the main clutch joint being plastic is partially true, the base appears to be metal, but the clutch half is plastic. This isn't necessarily a negative, the designers have to balance cost and pricepoint, but I think the way to treat this stand is to be careful how you set it up. Make sure you have the boom arm balanced, and fortunately they give us plenty of options to manage this with the configurable and generous counterweight. In practice it's easy to do, and means you don't have to cinch the boom clutch too much. Otherwise I have no negatives, it easily rolls over carpet and hard surfaces, has wheel locks, extends to a good height, is absolutely stable with the large cast iron base, and the fit and finish is excellent. For the price it's a bargain, just be considerate of your boom clutch and you should get many years of use out of it.

Llego en buen estado, lo malo que tardo casi un mes en llegar.

Pretty heavy-duty, I don’t anticipate any “flimsy” knob or assembly issues in my studio setup. (Don’t turn the knobs passed just-tight—no need to go further; there’s visible internal sleeves binding the joint, so no need to tighten to an extreme.) It’s beefy and supports a heavy Warm tube mic and not much floor noise travels beyond the rubber wheels; just love this stand.
