I was originally looking at the Rode microphone stand for 3x the price, but decided to give the Samson MD5 5" stand a shot first, given the price and general reviews. I am not disappointed!
The weight of this stand is impressive and it holds my very heavy (2lbs) Rode PodMic with ease. There's a nice padded ring on the bottom (see my review photos) that helps manage the weight.
What I like:
- Heft of stand is impressive
- Value is unbeatable!
- Threaded rod is easy to insert and adjust for microphones
- Padding ring helps to make it less aggressive on desk
- Branded sticker is easy to remove for those of us seeking that all-black visual
What I don't like (small things only):
- Limited to just the 5" height with rod provided (would have loved an 8" rod for additional $)
