Pros

"Heavy". "Stable", "Built like a tank" are just some of the words reviewers used to describe the Atlas Sound MS20E. The heavy-duty clutch system also gets praise for its stability and long-term durability.

Cons

One user noted that the actual weight of the stand is 12.25lb. While not exactly a negative with regards to function as a mic stand, it might be important to take note of this when using it to support other things like studio monitors as having the setup top-heavy might result in instability.

Overall

The Atlas Sound MS20E is a prime example of a stable mic stand with excellent long-term durability and safety features like the air suspension system for peace of mind.
