How much weight can this hold? I'm using a shure 55sh plus a CAD AS32 Shield for ~4lbs total. I'd like to swing them out of the way when not in use.

It will work. But I like the Rode Boom WAY better. Better quality and flexibility.

hmm....I think you'll be okay, but I can't say for shure (LOL sorry). I put off getting this thing for the same reason. I use mine with a U87 and i was really worried that it would sag or eventually give out. It has NOT! It's works like a dream. I even got the special piece that you screw into the wall or the desk, but I have not had to use it. I'm just using it with the desk attachment that comes with the unit. The U87 as you may know is a really large, heavy mic. I don't think it weighs 4lbs. however. I'd say give it a try. You can always return it. I have not found any better solution and I've looked quite a bit. hmm....I think you'll be okay, but I can't say for shure (LOL sorry). I put off getting this thing for the same reason.

the fact is they were tested at 22lbs but I believe they can hold 50lbs and the reason is, I put a lot of stuff on top of my 20lbs speaker, they are double tubed as you can see and I think all it needs is good balance that's all. Did I mention they are sturdy.

I have a Rode NT1A mounted on it which weights .7lbs. It holds it up without a problem. If you are using a shotgun mic you will need to buy a different shockmount, but it will hold it without a problem.

I have not tried it with that kind of weight. Ir is well balanced for my wireless mic but a 5 pound unit may push the limits if you fully extended the arm with no counter balance.

The boom arm itself is strong however if you have the boom arm at certain angles the base isn't heavy enough to counter the weight. For instance I hang my kick drum mic on mine and the weight of itself alone is to heavy for the stand unless i position the base under the drum itself. For a desk top setting where the mic is upright you would be good to go.

They should hold them no problem. These stands are quite hefty. The speakers I have on them are 15 lbs, and they do not begin to affect them in any way.

The specs on the packaging says they will hold up to 50lbs. Our speakers are only about 30lbs, so not a problem at all. We all have them anchored into some very solid support beams and I was able to do a pull up on them without any issue, and I am about 140lbs. Not that I would recommend putting that much weight on them, but they are very solid. The peg for the speaker is not adjustable, but if I remember correctly when I was looking at these that there are different ones with different size pegs. I would check the mounting hole on our speaker and then get the corresponding size peg. These are great brackets.

I'm not completely sure, but I have 25 pound Bose speakers mounted to mine and it didn't cause any strain at all on the stands so I would think that they could handle at least twice as much weight, if not a bit more.

I'm pushing two l7 12" 's at 750 ea. And it handles them with ease. Plenty of powerful bass. Hope thay helps you.

yeah the stands can handle that kinda weight. My speakers weigh almost 50 lbs each and these stands handle the weight. I would advise against "sliding" the stands around after the speakers have been placed upon them, however.

Hi Rickie. It holds a lot but all or most of these stands tip over if you run out of cord. Lol. How weird this may sound but I put 2 cement blocks on the back for extra support. Hey you never know. If you have no support, you'll probably have to put it on the lowest adjustable setting. So it has more gravity support. Don't get me wrong it's a great stand for the price but if your amp weighs any where between 60 to 120 pounds... It would be a good idea. Hope this helps. If you live in NY state I would sell you mine. Lol I've gone to powered pa speakers now. Take care

Five pounds would be a lot of weight for this stand. The boom will hold it, but if it's not balanced right you might have a problem. On the other hand. if you extended the boom directly over one of the tripod feet, it most likely wouldn't tip over. My recommendation is that if you have a five pound microphone, you should get a heavier stand than this one.

These are rather well constructed hangers -- though designed to hold weight bearing upon the mounting plate. Not supporting hanging weight. My speakers may weight about 25 lbs each. Using and mounting them as designed they work perfect for me. I would not attempt to hang my speakers placing the mounting assembly upside down. You can make anything work -- actually.

I don't know the maximum weight of my equipment but I cannot put another piece of equipment on the shelves. I have my 42" TV, & center speaker on top shelf. Onkyo home theater receiver, and cable box on next shelf, 100 disk juke box and blue ray player on 3rd shelf and md player/recorder, dvd recorder/video player. on bottom shelf. It holds them sturdy. I am pleased. Again, I have all that I wanted on this stand with no shakiness or wobble.

I'm using the shelf on a lg 47 in LED tv supporting my Klipsch RC3 that weights 29 lbs and doesn't have any issues. Go for it!

It weighs a pretty good bit, I have it mounted on a mic stand with a heavy base. I would not mount it on a tripod base and if you use a regular duty round base stand, you might want to consider adding a 10 pound steel weight available at almost any sporting goods store to add some stability. I do think it is a great product for the price.

I currently am using a pair of Harbinger APS15 with them right now. They weigh about 46lbs each and the stands seem to hold them quite well. Given the leg spread of the stands, there is no rocking or lack of support. I would think they could hold more, but I have not tested or tried anything heavier than those currently.
