I'm certainly well aware that the Atlas stuff isn't the best on the planet but I guess I've been pretty lucky. The one I have and the ones I've used have worked fine for the most part. For it's price point I feel it's pretty decent and get's the job I need it to do, done.

| It remains to be seen whether or not people are willing to pay for a really well built and engineered mike stand, that is truly sturdy and stable (at just under 200 pounds, I can do chin-ups on the boom). If you try that on an Atlas, you will notice two things, the vertical clutch caves in at about thirty pounds, and the boom will bend, or break. |
Wow, that's cool! That'll come in handy for those occasions where an execution is the only answer! Nothing like hanging the random band member or two to restore the vibe in a session.

It does sound like a very cool product. Perhaps you could post an image. I'm sure all here would be interested.
