I found this product to be quite useful for recording, offering a great deal of flexibility in positioning the microphone. The build quality is decent, although some parts feel a bit cheaply made. I like that it can hold medium-weight microphones, but the clamp can be finicky to adjust at times. The multiple joints allow for easy twisting and turning, which is convenient. Overall, it's a handy tool to have, especially considering the price. I've had no major issues with it, and it's proven to be sturdy. While it may not be perfect, it gets the job done and is a great value for the cost.
