Yes, that does appear to be a microphone stand with a stud on top of it. And yes, its $300.

Actually, it's probably more sturdy than most light stands. Those bases are super heavy...not to mention the fact that there are no legs for people's feet to catch on. You'd have to tip it pretty far for it to fall over.

All I see is instructions on how to built it yourself for about $60. And I think the fellow raises a good point about it being less obtrusive and less of a trip hazard than a standard light stand.

I honestly don't understand the criticism. Sorry. Mark The site has changed. It no longer says it is being sold for $300 but it did.
