I have a Quik Lok, tripod mic boom stand[15 - 20 years]...it is a backup for me[still like new]...made in Italy..

My primary mic boom is the Apex plus[Ultimate Support} set up..My secondary is a Quik Lok[Italy] mic boom that attaches to my doulble braced X stand...

All three work fine..

BTW Ultimate Support products are guaranteed for life...and they mean it..
