I picked up THIS STAND from Sam Ash.
Works well. Looks good. $29. It's better if you have a store in your area though so you aren't paying UPS to ship a hunk of cast iron around (the base is heavy).
Sometimes I wish I didn't have a mic stand though because the drunks love to play with it and pretend they are Steven Tyler/Usher. Once a night someone tries to do that trick where you thrown the stand and make it pop back up with your foot. It never works.
Don't they have those ankle or wrist weights cheap that could just be dropped down over the shaft?
Find some small weights from a weight bench and add 10-15 pounds to it. This will detour the stand twirlers and make the stand more stable.It will also work great as a door stop when loading in and out.
