I really don't like the short legs on the base of that stand. They strike me as a disaster waiting to happen. In the picture, the boom extends way past the feet and it doesn't seem to have much counterweight. If you have it set up like that, I think the only thing that's going to keep it from tipping is if you point a foot in the same direction as the boom. But if you accidentally swing the boom a little bit, I suspect it could come crashing down. I don't know what mics you're going to put on that stand, but unless they're of the very cheap variety, I'd look for something a bit more substantial lest we read a future post from you about being "penny wise and dollar foolish."
