The boom is removable if there are occasions to use the stand and shaft alone, height adjusts from about 9" to 15" and will accommodate any standard 5/8"-27 microphone holder (not included).
The boom is 17" long and may be adjusted "in" or "out" as well as set at any angle necessary; a secure cam will hold a microphone exactly where you place it.
The die-cast iron base is finished soft black and has rubber feet.
