Not so fast Diki when you have a mic boom, and a second tier also ,......the Ultimate Apex 48 pro clumn stand is all contained in one unit, breaks down in less then a minute, and less gear to carry. Although the the K&M mic boom has to be removed.. it's even better as the legs just fold up fast vs the Apex. BTW I also have the Best X stand made the Ultimate Support IQ-3000 brand new never used here if anyone is interested it's For Sale.
