Think Twice before getting this - Not User friendly

This hunk of steel has been such a royal pain. It is too heavy and too much of a hassle to return so I'm stuck with it. I had great plans for this item. I thought there was a decent thread on it or some way to remove the coupler on top so I can put a Kupo Baby 5/8th receiver adapter or something on top of it so I can insert a light post/stud out of it or a post with a 3/8th or 1/4th thread. For the life of me, I cannot take the thing extra-wide steel attachment off, its welded and fixed on top there. For the love of God why? I ordered 4 times, 4 separate orders work-around attachments that have all failed, such as threaded studs and posts to screw inside the female 5/8th thread.. so I can have something for a Kupo baby 5/8th receiver or something to attach on top. I ended up ordering a double-studded 5/8th threaded bolt and waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully, it works and I can use this stand to mount a PTZ camera on top or maybe just a light like it was intended for. Mercy alive. Otherwise, this is the largest door stopper ever.

Great for projectors to get them up high over people's heads. Buying my 2nd one today.

See any errors on this page?

Will this stand accept an adapter for standard 5/8th inch microphone clips or booms? Thanks!

question

What is the diameter of the base? Is it heavy and stable?
Asked by: Robert C.
It's about 14 inches and it is fairly heavy. I use this to mount a projector with a projector mount. It has been working very well for over a year now.
