What is the brand/make and quality of the boom stand?

The brand is unspecified, but the quality isn't terrible. Its not made from plastic, it's a decent metal and it holds in place very well. I've used it for studio and live purposes just fine. For the bundle price I found it to be worth it, it's as it appears in the picture and arrived in good condition.

The one I received is a Samson stand. Very good quality. It is short so you probably won't use it for vocals. I am miking amps and it is is great for that purpose.

As others here have mentioned, it's metal/alloy, with semi-soft plastic "feet." There IS a cheap, mostly-plastic knockoff of this stand, also sold via Amazon, which I haven't encountered myself, but seems to have a pretty bad rep here. Having just bought this one myself, I say play it safe and get the original - well worth the extra bucks.

After I bought my Bell'o stand at Sears, I saw a nicer one at Costco for about 100 bucks less. I would definitely check out Costco, Bjs or Sams first.

Yes, It has the base that can be screwed into the pro stands for booms and stands.

You want to get a sturdy studio boom mic stand with this one, something where the tripod legs are sturdy & there's a counter-weight on the extension arm. The mic itself isn't heavy, but u want the sturdiness to avoid dropping the sucker & damaging the diaphragm. Check out an OnStage SB9600 for similar design points; otherwise, use sandbags or weights on the legs if you use a regular tripod boom stand (no weighted arm, just the little cylinder-end). Hope this helps ya!

The stand is adjustable so five foot to six and the boom arm is about three and half foot long. Hope this helps?

As per the description, this listing includes the stand. It's basically a PA speaker stand, with a machined part to attach your jib to the stand. I tend to leave the attaching piece loose (basically just "sitting" on the stand) so I can swivel smoothly left and right. You can also tighten it for only up/down movement (no left/right). The stand is very stable and of high quality.

Hi as I live in Melbourne Australia I picked up a boom stand available here called "AMS" and it suits the mic well. I think any good quality boom mic stand will work.

It's a complete package -- base, riser, boom, and mic holder. Just be aware that this is a miniature stand, suitable for your desktop. It is also poorly constructed, and the base is not heavy enough to counterbalance anything other than a light dynamic mic.

The Konig & Meyer 210/9 Boom arm mic stand works with this. It is not as sturdy as the OnStage SB9600, but it is also not as heavy or bulky. As long as the boom arm is placed over one of the tripod legs, it is stable. I've been able to add some attachments too, including one for the Zoom H4n recorder, and a pop filter.

The Stellar Labs 555-13830 is the best stand I personally will recommend to anyone. It's sturdy, adjustable in both height and width. No keyboard is too small or too big for it to bear the weight. The best you can ever get. Highly recommended!

Hi Greg!Thanks for the response. I can't seem to find this stand at any major retailer. :/ Any other ideas?

The atlantic are light weight. The base plate is MDF board and the spikes are plastic. I stepped on the base plate once and the spike broke. These stands will hold your speakers and thats about all. Get proper stands in the pre-owned market, for slightly more u get huge increase in quality

The stands are sturdy, in my opinion. The boom was not sturdy though. The metal parts used for tightening the boom in place popped out after less than 10 uses.

Any standard photography stand with a weight on it to counter the weight of the boom
