This stand is much too tall for a podcast microphone even though I was seeking for one that would be suitable for podcasting.Unless the table is exceedingly low, this monstrosity will tower over you on almost any table or work top.With a condenser mic, you might be able to use this stand, but if you're recording vocals, it becomes difficult. On the other hand, it would be ideal if you were only recording drums.However, this is a wonderful stand overall!I doubt you'll find a mic that will knock this over because it is quite robust, feels like it was made to last, and is quite heavy.
