The missing link
Ben27 26.01.2021
Used on some (non K&M) stands in order to counter balance my heavier mics.

Most mic clutches tend to give over time, and this counterweight is the ideal counter to that. I don't think you'll ever be able to perfectly balance with one, but they take a lot of the stress out of the central clutch rubber.

Simple to install too - remove anything from the mic stand's boom, slide this on, reassemble. Solid weight and can be used to settle arguments with drummers.

Very useful for balancing a boom
D_C 31.12.2020
Many microphone boom arms lack a counterweight to balance the microphone. I've seen people using extreme force to tighten the main locking screw to try to stop the boom drooping, which can damage the washers. With proper use of a counterweight, far less force is required. Two things are required to use this product: Firstly it is important to check that the boom has a diameter of 15mm. Secondly, it must be possible to slide the counterweight on to the pole. For a telescopic boom, I remove the plastic hand grip off the end (which can require a strong grip to twist it off) and plug the tube with a 15mm end cap (available on ebay). The counterweight can then be positioned close to the end if required.

Improves standard mic stands
mjfe2 23.10.2017
We got one of these to 'upgrade' a hybrid stand consisting of a tall Manfrotto base and a conventional boom arm. The stand now works nicely for drum overhead duties where you wouldn't trust a normal stand to hold up a LDC mic. It's a shame the weight can't go to the very end of the boom arm because most have a lengthy plastic handle in the way but I can't see how else K&M could design the fixture.

Should have bought 2 the first time
Dreamsloft 05.08.2024
I have 2 K&M stands and although they're quite tough mic stands, they would still be put under immense strain when I had larger mics like the SM7B and my L22. I'd see some mic stands with counterweights on youtube and was looking for something like this. These work perfectly. Simply slide the existing black rubber holder off one end and then screw this on. Look really slick and I wish I'd bought 2 in the beginning!

Simple answer for heavier mics
The Computer & MIDI Doctor 08.11.2020
One of those handy things to have in your studio/ bag.
I bought K&M stands, thinking they wouldn't droop, but they did with my larger diaphragm mics. I began using my coat as a counter weight, but it looked pretty scrappy in the studio.

This is a simple, elegant solution.

I bought one to try out, and have bought more since then.

No more mic droop!
Happy chappy.

Gets the job done
Stajmen 06.09.2022
I mounted it permanently on a mic stand for our keyboard player as he uses 2 mics and the mic stand arm kept falling down. It gets the job done, be careful which mic stand you use, it fits perfectly on K&M stands, we tried on some other stand and the hole was too small.

Easy solution to a common problem
Sifi 28.06.2017
When my expensive condenser mic went over for the third time on one session I realized that just hanging something on the back of the boom stand was just not good enough. I looked at heavy duty boom stands but they were way above my budget - then I found this counter weight. It is very well made and seems to fit most standard mic stands.
Problem solved.

Solid Counterweight
Dustyfrank 19.07.2020
We use this for our drummers mic. he has a sm58 and it used to fall down. This simple addon to the end of the boom stand means that the mic stays put. does exaclty what you would expect it to do.

A must have in studio
studio amsterdam 01.05.2018
A must have in studio's! To balance your microphone in the stand without having tension on the stand screws. More balanced, more professional and better for durability of stands!
