I am glad I bought this product, it is just as great as I had expected it to be. The base is really wide and heavy, it is perfectly enough to counterbalance the weight of my new PodMic from Rode. I really like the ABS coating and the design used for the adjusting knobs. This is definitely well thought and I can really see why they won a IF design Award in 2016 for this range. Basically the product description is totally reliable.
