Is is strong/heavy enough to hold up a 5 pound condeser mic without tipping over?

Five pounds would be a lot of weight for this stand. The boom will hold it, but if it's not balanced right you might have a problem. On the other hand. if you extended the boom directly over one of the tripod feet, it most likely wouldn't tip over. My recommendation is that if you have a five pound microphone, you should get a heavier stand than this one.

I have not tried it with that kind of weight. Ir is well balanced for my wireless mic but a 5 pound unit may push the limits if you fully extended the arm with no counter balance.

It weighs a pretty good bit, I have it mounted on a mic stand with a heavy base. I would not mount it on a tripod base and if you use a regular duty round base stand, you might want to consider adding a 10 pound steel weight available at almost any sporting goods store to add some stability. I do think it is a great product for the price.

it can handle that no problem. I put stuff on mine, and then lean on it sometimes, when I am talking, and I am no light weight. It is quite sturdy.

It's a mic stand. It's got a standard 5/8 threaded mounting configuration like all mic stands. The shaft is adjustable upwards from the image of the item. If your issue is the stability of the item, the base weighs about 2 pounds, and seems quite stable, especially at the lowest height setting. It would take quite of bit of weight and a lot of leverage to tip this over IMO.

No, this is a freestanding unit And frankly it does not have the structural integrity to support a significant amount of weight. Good luck :-)

I suppose it would depend on the weight of the shield you have in mind. My guess is that it could support up to 20 pounds or so. It does have a counterbalance (10 lbs or so), so you can move the boom on the main shaft to balance whatever you attach to the mic end.

The V shaped base is very heavy and that's all that helps it form tipping over. I have used many microphones in it and it doesn't fall over. However, the screw that keeps the microphone in place does loosen easily so keep a screw driver handy.

It won't be stable enough unless you have a heavy studio boom. It would be better to mount this on its own tripod style stand and use the mic on the boom. I use this with a tripod stand and have the mic mounted with it.

I have it on a Pro Line Microphone Boom Stand. It has a tripod stand, so it's able to support the weight without tipping over. A stand with a wider diameter would be optimal, since it's a little heavy and will tip over with a regular mic stand. It has a universal mic screw, so it should screw in easily. I have an AT4040 and fits perfectly. Loving this isolation shield. Get a mic filter if you don't have one. All that together, makes the audio come out clean. Hope I answered your question.

It is very sturdy. I have even moved the table it was on while DJing with little to no sway. As for comfort it depends on the table you are setting it on. The angle it holds it at would put the keyboard of most laptops at an angle similar to a normal desktop keyboard propped up on it's back risers. I think it's fine.

Silver mic comes with a small tripod stand. This stand is not stable and will fall over if the mic or table is bumped.

No it won't! It looks good and seems to be well made but wouldn't hold large mics at all. I regret buying it.

I feel like it's really sturdy. I have a very heavy desk mic stand on it most of the time, and it is very stable.

Won't fall over. Mine are full so very secure. Combined two different sizes to fill up the holder. Expensive but very convenient.

Truthfully, I'd get a pro line mic stand and extension for a heavy mic. I bought this to try it out on a lightweight wireless. Works fine for that application. The internal mast tends to fall from lack of grip at the threading. Every tool has it's purpose.

Yes it is. I have a Crosley turntable on it which weighs that much. You will be pleased w/it, I think.
