Detail 01
Fixed boom arm
The arm doesn't telescope, so reach is set — fewer joints to slip, but less room to get over a kit.

Musician's GearMS-220 Tripod Mic Stand With Fixed Boom - Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A basic tripod boom stand for vocals, amps or instrument miking. Fine for rehearsal rooms and home recording where you need a stand, not an heirloom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Home studio placement on a cabinet, snare or acoustic guitar
- Rehearsal-room vocal duty where stands get knocked around
- Adding a second or third stand without spending much
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy condensers in shock mounts hung far out on the boom
- Touring rigs that need cast bases and years of abuse
- Overhead drum work that needs a telescoping arm for reach
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Tripod base
Folds flat for transport and settles on uneven floors, but the legs eat pedalboard and monitor space.
Detail 03
Boom rather than a straight stand
The mic comes in from the side, so the shaft isn't in front of a singer's face or an amp grille.
Detail 04
Black finish
Standard stage colour — stays out of sight and doesn't throw light back at a camera.
Detail 05
Under $35
Buys a working stand, not cast iron. Expect to retighten the clutches as it gets used.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm a mic clip is in the box before you count on one
- 02No mic, cable or shock mount included
- 03Booms without a counterweight tip if a heavy mic hangs far out
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this hold a dynamic vocal mic?
Yes. Handheld dynamics are light and sit well inside what a tripod boom handles. Large-diaphragm condensers in heavy shock mounts are where inexpensive booms start to droop.
02What's the difference between a fixed and telescoping boom?
A telescoping arm slides out for extra reach over drums or a piano lid. A fixed arm stays one length — less to adjust, and one less clutch to loosen mid-set.
03Can I use it as a straight stand?
Mostly. Point the boom straight up and it works, though the joint adds height and the balance feels different from a true straight stand.
04Is a tripod base or a round base better?
Tripods fold small and stay put on uneven floors. Round bases take less floor area and are harder to trip over, but they're heavier to carry.
