Works Awesome

I ordered this mic stand for my YouTube videos and it works like a charm! It’s easy to assemble, sturdy, and well-built. The stand is fully adjustable which is great and definitely a necessary upgrade from my last one. I genuinely don’t have anything bad to say about this mic stand.
its ok

Will this work with Warm Audio WA-87 R2? If not, what alternative attractive desk stand can you recommend?
The RODE DS2 Desktop Studio Arm for Broadcast Microphones will not support the WA-87 R2 due to the weight of the mic being over 2x the max supported weight for the stand.

Do you think I could use this for the Sennheiser MKH 416?
Sure, the RODE DS2 Desktop Studio Arm for Broadcast Microphones (BH #RODS2SA) could support a Sennheiser MKH 416 with some sort of added shock mount like the Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount (BH #AUDUSM1).
