One con is sometimes the heavy Samson CO1U USB Condenser Mic I use to record audio would sometimes tip it; however, if you use a little common sense when you plant the tripod legs to get the most support, this won't happen. Overall, for the price, this mic stand was much better than I anticipated. The legs fold up vertically and the stand collapses on itself to be half the size for portability. Like most mic stands, this stand comes with a clip-on cord holder to keep the mic cord suspended along the horizontal arm. Very versatile. I can easily adjust the angle of inclination to adjust for guitar and then vocals.
