Your cart is empty.The Samson MD5 Desktop Microphone Stand is the ideal mic accessory for any desktop studio. The MD5 measures 5" in height to allow for optimal desktop mic positioning. While its low-profile design fits unobtrusively on desktops, the MD5 offers a weighted die-cast metal base (6.25" width) to ensure maximum stability to any microphone with a standard mic clip (5/8"-27 threading). It even works well when integrating the Samson SP01 Spider Shockmount into your setup. The MD5 is perfect for podcasts, voiceovers, recording music or any other desktop application where ideal mic placement is essential.

This mic stand has been great for a casual computer user who needed a simple to use, stable mic stand. It doesn't provide any special vibration isolation like the fancier boom arm mic holders but it does a great job as a simple desktop mic stand. It is very stable compared to the tripod stand that came with my Audio Technica microphone. It has a simple metal design and I can't foresee any part of it wearing down. I believe that the stand will last for years unless I drop it somehow.

Enough weight to stay stable even when mounted with heavy condenser mics … value for money … extremely happy with the product

I needed to run a discussion panel with four talents and needed four mic stands, this stand is the perfect height, perfect weight, and has a nice rubber base that prevents sliding around and provides some isolation of desktop sounds from the mic. I have Shure SM57 mics on these stands and it all works perfectly.

Happy tingles for any 3DIO mic owners! Here's the stand you need!So as many know, the 3DIO mics come with no stand, but this one? Perfect! Its nice and heavy so it can hold up the massive microphone no problem, and the thread size is exactly what's needed! Its also affordable! So after dropping 400$ on the mic, you don't have to cry at your bank account when purchasing the stand!One draw back I had is that you have to really *force* the base onto the pole part of the stand in order to screw it in, to the point that I worried it came stripped. I'll still rate it 5 stars since its a small complaint, but my husband had to strong arm the thing on.

Bien construido, bonito (por el detalle del vinilo con el nombre de la marca en el tubo) y estable.Ideal para micrófonos de mano. Algo corto para micrófonos de estudio, ya que el cable tiene poco espacio para colgar por debajo y se tuerce contra la mesa, por lo que se debe inclinar la posición del micrófono un poco hacia arriba.Aún así, para mí, cinco estrellas.

I don't usually read reviews that start with "I just received this and it's really good" because I like to hear about the experience of someone with knowledge of the product who has tested it over a long period. But this is a really simple and solid piece of equipment, so there is nothing to go wrong with prolonged use. I was delighted with my Rode USB microphone's performance, but disappointed with the flimsy plastic tripod stand that kept tipping over -- and i only got that yesterday. By contrast, this stand is heavy, it doesn't move, and the heavy microphone stays put. The stand has a soft ring underneath that protects my desk without having to put a cloth underneath, and, just as important, the ring grips the desk so that the base of the stand does not slide. I am grabbing the stand now and trying to move it sideways. It doesn't budge at all. I have to lift it. Don't be put off by the low price: this is a really good stand that feels like it will last a lifetime. If it didn't, it wouldn't break the bank to replace it, but I don't expect to have to do that. This is a totally unsolicited review; I am not getting any reward of any kind. I am grateful for a product that does what it says on the box and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

It's surprisingly difficult to find a desktop stand, or otherwise for the Blue Yeti, more so if you plan on using the Blue designed Radius II.This stand seemed simple enough to avoid any real problems, assuming the base was stable.At 6.25 in; (~15.9cm) in diameter and 2.7lbs (~1.23kg) the base is indeed solid enough to support this beast of a microphone.The base itself could probably be a bit heavier as there is room underneath, but at some point it would just be silly.There is a generous dense foam footing running the entire perimeter of the base to prevent scratching. It's fairly thick and slides nicely along my desktop.The threads are very nicely machined on both ends of the stem, easily connecting to both the base and the shock mount.The only real downside is that there are no height adjustments at all, but I figured that was the main reason this would work without presenting any tipping hazards. Thankfully, the final stack height happens to work for me with my setup.All in all, if you're willing to sacrifice flexibility this will definitely hold your mic for a good price.

This stand is very stable. I'm using it with a Blue Yeti microphone mounted on a Blue Radius Shockmount with a Blue Pop Filter, which is a rather heavy combination. I first tried mounting the combo on a , which I bought for its height-extension ability, but the entire setup was front-heavy. While it wouldn't completely fall over, a slight nudge would make it start tipping over; I didn't feel safe using that stand. This Samson stand, while lacking the height adjustment capabilities, does not have that problem. It is simply much heavier and the base is wider.I have to dock a star for two reasons. The first is that the vertical metal rod has a sticker on it that leaves super-sticky residue when you peel it off. The "On Stage DS7200B" had the same problem, but the case there was much worse: there were two stickers instead of one, the stickers were bigger, and the residue was even stickier, to the point that it was impossible to get off without solvents. I didn't have to resort to solvents on the Samson stand, but despite being super careful when peeling off the sticker, I still had to spend a good 20 minutes cleaning up the leftover gunk; it is a strong residue.The second reason is that the bottom of the base has a circular ring of rubber which only comes half installed; the strand of rubber is split in half and "derails" from the inset near both endpoints, so only about 3/4 of the strand is in the ring. The rubber strand is actually glued to the base in this way, and when I first saw the situation I thought I had gotten a defective product. You are forced to grab both ends of the strand, pry them from where they are glued, and push them into the inset. Unfortunately, this ALSO leaves behind sticky residue!I bought two stands, and both of them came this way, so I don't believe my experience is a freak incident.In short, the stand itself is great, but it did give me a couple of headaches.
