I'm a karaoke dj so my equipment takes a lot of abuse. My mic stand has been a weapon, an air guitar, and a stripper pole. I frequently replace them when the threads become stripped and the base falls off, (usually on my toes). I chose this mic stand because I'm sick of watching people spill beer all over it when they try to use 2 hands to adjust the height. Unfortunately some can't figure it out so it's still covered in beer, but it happens less often. I was thrilled to find the lock on the base preventing it from loosening and falling off! My toes are grateful! The first time I used it I discovered another great feature! The center pole does not come out when someone tries to extend it to ridiculous heights. No more having to reassemble the stand after watching a drunk person pull it apart. Instead of falling over in a drunken stupor as the pole goes flying, they lift the mic stand off the floor. The counter balance causes them to drop it on their own toes. Isn't karma great?! My only disappointment is that I see no need to buy another one soon, unless of course I find a need for a stripper pole. :)

I've literally used this for 4 shows and a video shoot and it no longer locks in place any more. That's less than 4 months since I bought it. Very disappointing.
