The On-Stage MS7625PG pistol grip hex base microphone stand is the same as the MS7625, but with a pistol grip clutch on the top of the stand for one-handed height adjustments. In one swift motion, just push down and turn the shaft one-quarter clockwise to lock, or push down and turn one-quarter counter-clockwise to remove. The uniquely shaped 9 lb. base on this patented item means more room for feet placement. And, the low profile design makes for a more stable stand.
