Hi Andy, Heres a tip for mic stands I've been using for years! :) Lifting weights fit directly on the poll and prevent knocking them over with out trying. 1 ten pounder sits nicely on the base after you install it. I use a combination of weight lifter weights & 10 pound leg weights "ankle weights" for booms. Although i have several $500.00 atlas booms on wheels, the weights work very good for all the other stands. Also to save floor space, for my drum kit I have the over heads & tom mics acoustically suspended from the ceiling to take the always compromising mic-ing and weaving stands in to a drum kit. :) out of the picture!
