Convenient, Quick & Easy Counterweight For Mic Stands. For Light Stands Needing Heavier Weights I Still Use Sandbags. For Live Events I've Covered Orange Weight With Gaffer's Tape. Spray Paint Would Make It Permanently Black, But I Like Having The Orange Visibility Option.

Yes, but you would have to take it off when folding the stand. I suggest to attache it to the center pole as low as possible for best result.
