Very nice. A stable mic stand is essential for peace of mind once one makes the investment into a quality microphone. I hope it serves you well for many years.

I learned a lesson when my Blue Kiwi took a header. I was using those cheap tripod boom stands that sell for around $50 everywhere. In response I bought a straight stand with a cast iron bottom... not expensive but a lot more stable.

When I bought my Flea 47, I bought a Ultimate Support MC-125. The base must weigh near about 30 pounds and I like that it's on casters. When Sweetwater had the stand on clearance for $150, I bought a second. I also have an Atlas Sound MS25 straight stand that has a quite hefty base. I gave away all my cheap stands. They're just not worth the risk.
