I initially reviewed this stand last fall. Our band uses it on gigs and practices ever since with no problems - None. I should point out that our singer is . . . well, let's say he's not gentle (I buy replacement mic grills by the case). He's become, by default, a product tester for most of our gear and the Peak SM-52 stand/boom combo has stood the test. Since last fall I've bought 4 more Peak SM-52s.I've read some of the reviews posted recently that criticize this stand, unfairly I think, because of weak cam-locks. The strength of all of the cam-locks in adjustable. They come from the factory fairly loose so it's necessiary to tighten them up before use. I don't know if previous reviewers weren't aware of this or if their units have defects I haven't yet experienced with my 5 stands.To increase the "gripping strength" of the cam-locks you release the cam lever and rotate it clockwise - usually no more than a turn. If you can't easily re-lock the cam lever, you've over-tightened it and need to back it off until the cam lever locks with only firm pressure. I hang a large diameter studio condenser mic off the end of the extended boom (with sandbags on the stand's feet) without the mic sagging, slipping or creeping.As our other mic stands break, I will be replacing them with Peak SM-52s and if I do find a fault or issue, including weak cam-locks, I'll re-post here.

I sing lead in a rock band, and at a bar gig last night, with the boom 2/3 extended at a 45 degree upward angle from the tripod this thing was leaning BAD! I had to place heavy objects on the legs. The problem is the legs are not stiff enough- that is they don't lock sturdy enough, and the tripod tips easily when the legs move in the cradles from the weight of just the mic on the boom. I will probably use the boom on a different tripod, as the boom works great.
I got this on stupid deal of the day for less than half what it is going for regular. Good deal at that price. It is functional, but the operation of the mechanisms is a bit complex for those in the band who handle equipment roughly. Nice concept.
Don't think this will hold up for those who have bandmates who overtighten, don't have a clue, or are rough on equipment.
Good value at the price I got. For the regular price, no.

Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
Bought some of these and put them in my studio for back ups... when I finally used them, it was beyond the time limit to send them back to M. F. ...they look like a very cool idea .. but they will not take any weight ... not even the weight of a Shure SM58. The locks DO NOT HOLD. Do not waste your money.

Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
I always thought it would be nice to have a boom stand for recording piano, sax, and voice, with all of the contortions covered to do this right,so when this showed up as a Stupid Deal of the Day for [$] bucks, I jumped on it. I was surprised at how heavy-duty it was, and it's very easy to adjust with high quality cam locks. Extending a heavy condensor mic over a piano or keeping the stand and mic steady on a windy stage would definitely require a sand bag on the legs, but this is to be expected. I'd buy it at the full price. Nice job!
Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
This mic stand "could" have been a great product and value. It has all of the basic features and components as any other boom stand. The problem is that while most of the stand is constructed with decent grade metal tubing, the piece that connects the boom to the lower part is made of some sort of plyable plastic. When the stand is moved or even bump, the top, including the mic, sways back and forth like a flag-pole in the wind. Given the added weight of the mic, there is an unacceptable amount of movement. I am primarily a singer in a duo, so I had used this mic stand a few times, until I almost literally chipped a tooth. It would be fine to mic an instrument, I suppose. I'm not necessarily saying to go pay $80 for an Atlas stand, but why on earth would a company build a pretty decent product, then totally ruin it by skimping on one of the most important parts? It makes no sense to me. I would not recommend this product....not even for the $17.00 that I paid for it as a previous "Stupid Deal" of the day. Thanks for reading.
Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
I would recommend the stand. I like mine and have about 6 of them. Easy to adjust and use.
Lockable cams that can be adjusted. So my initial review is amended because I complained about the stand sagging and not holding up my SM-58. Once you adjust the cams by turning them to the right to the desired tightness, they would hold up a military tank.
Well-constructed and sturdy
Great value at the stupid deal price of several months ago. I would never pay the retail price. Probably an okay value at that price, but no more.
Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
i think these stands are awesome. I've seen some reviews that complain about them not holding up mics....adjust it so it's tighter! They're very very simple to use and hold up well too. i bought another one after i bought my first 2 just because i like them and the price was outstanding at the price
i love the locks...much faster than the screw type
much better anything I've used that was in this price range
Comments about Peak Music Stands SM-52 Tripod Mic Stand with Boom Arm:
Like the title says, my band uses these stands more often than other stands. I like them because they get the job done. They also adjust & set up quickly and easily. Great to pack in and pack out fast! However with anything they will only last as long as you treat them well. If you take care of your equipment it will take care of you!
