Sitting on a piano bench, it raises my AKG Ara to waist level. Yea it was a discovery that the side holes of the Ara were 1/4" (IIRC) and so could fit onto a standard cold shoe used primarily for cameras. Being a condenser, it picked up my guitar and voice from a distance of about a foot or so without any trouble.
I do wish I had the option to raise it half a foot higher but then this is a very compact folding device. At $10, also highly affordable and I can recommend it for people taking their gear on the road. You may have to place it on a box or something sturdy to get the best mic-ing distance.
You do have to be careful not to step on the feet as they are plastic tho the telescoping rod is metal. The ball joint head is well-made and locks down with the twist of a lever. I think the cold shoe rotating knob is well designed to also function as an angular adjuster as well as securing the mic / camera / what have you.
At the asking price, which included same day delivery, there's nothing to complain about. And it helped me get rid of the awful swing arm mount the Ara came with. This looks much more professional.
And yes, my blood is normal, said Sis, who is a physician. I have a lease of life for another year. Will work out tonight as I missed last night's.
