Its a mic stand and it will do its job, but if the second arm extended out more than the minimal lenght and is under an angle, it will start falling down slowly because it cant hold my mic in place (it is too heavy - I am using a Rode NT Usb mini). For example if my mic was on the first picture of product on this page, the arm would start falling down because it is not strong enough! I expected this to be better, I cannot record guitar normally but have to have the stand nearer me so it can get in the way.
