I have ordered my M 50 P stands in silver directly from hell, At first I thought the package could have been better, but good, as long as the content is true;) but I was disappointed when unpacking immediately, the cast plate of the feet were verkrazt circular ... Okay I thought, this can also blending, so again not so bad, but when I had set up the stands (the construction was very simple) and a CE had mounted over 20 FCR (Satellite my Concept E 400), much to me that the whole was very unstable ... The stand was wrong and totally shaky, so I had to be afraid that my satellite anything happens :( Then I tried to turn it all over a little harder and whoosh, the thread was out for quite firmly all depends very loose ...: / The thread is simply inappropriate and you do not get fixed properly so that it provides enough stability without overtighten it, also a chromed plastic nut is down there attached that allows you to stabilize the rod at the bottom, but you can also forget ! The rod can be pulled out, loud devils from 70 to 110 cm, I have not measured it, but I can say that at 110 cm of stand applies no longer the necessary stability, it is only held by a plastic holder and firmly pressed with a plastic nut, So apart from the base plate again totally shaky ... :(
I am very disappointed by the M 50 P stand feet, because I have known the quality expected of my Concept E 400 Control also here, but unfortunately this is not so!
Conclusion: Scratches in the paint -ungenügende stability -> Plastic nuts & Mounts -> Bad thread
+ Heavy cast base plate (use is not much when the rest can not be attached to it!)
