The main features of the K&M Overhead Microphone Stand, Black include:
This stand supports a variety of fittings, and most recently I have used the 21411 stand with a König & Meyer 21231 telescopic boom to mount a stereo bar and overhead pencil condensors for suspension outside a camera frame when videoing some work with a grand piano. Stands tend to be bought as an afterthought but they are really a serious component of the sound chain. The 21411 is reassuringly substantial and affords a robust platform that inexpensive lightweight stands require one to tiptoe around. You get what you pay for and K&M set the standard, whether concert hall, village hall, or studio.
