The black K&M 20150 Extra-Tall 3-Section Mic Stand is ideal for elevated microphone positioning to capture drum overheads, orchestras, ensembles, room recordings, and much more. The additional height also makes it a smart choice for antenna placement.
The 20150 stand features clutch clamps with locking screws that allow you to steplessly adjust the height from 3.9 up to 10.6'. The rugged, full-metal socket and foldable feet offer a large 2.8' footprint to ensure stability.

As other reviews say - its K&M made-in-Germany quality. Overall everything is sturdy and works. Also as others have said, not for adding a boom - just for putting up one mic or a stereo bar 10' in the air. The issue I have had is resonance: when fully extended, the tube rings like a bell at about 120 Hz. It will pick-up low-frequency notes and you get a sympathetic vibration in the stand that couples to the microphone mount. I MUST use a good shock-mount even on a super solid floor. And even then, I can see a bit of coupling to the microphone body (Schoeps CMC1). K&M if you are listening - time to join the 21st century and introduce well-damped carbon-fiber stands with no resonances.
Believe the specs on this stand. Yes, it is VERY tall given it is a typical stage mic stand format. And it is K&M quality, which to me means it telescopes smoothly, the collars lock in place as expected and the hinges on the legs fold up as they should. The base has a good weight to it and might take the place of needing a sand bag or weight at the base of the stand if adding a boom arm... but of course that always depends upon your specific situation. The caveat that needs mentioning with this mic stand is: the last tube section of the fully extended, telescoped stand, is a smaller diameter than normal on a mic stand. For smaller microphones, light-weight mics, or short boom arms loaded with NOT too heavy mics, this smaller diameter tube will work just fine. HOWEVER, if you intend to use a heavier boom arm with this stand, extending out over a longer distance, loaded with a heavy, larger mic, you will be unhappy with the results. Use this stand with some commonsense regarding what mic or boom you place upon the smaller diameter tube of the fully extended, telescoped stand and you will have an unusually tall mic stand at your disposal that is well made.
