This compact heavy-duty stand is ideal for making bass drums, guitar amplifiers, or anywhere else where a low profile mic stand is needed. Improved features include extra-thick steel shafts, ergonomically designed and anodized machined aluminum center clutch, steel leg housing with adjustable heavy-duty leg mounts, and a scratch resistant finish. A patent-pending anti-rotational device on the lower shaft allows for true one-handed height adjustments. A solid steel 5/8-27" threaded lug, oversized shock mount locking washer and steel counterweight complete the professional package!
