I actually bought this item for attaching a VGA screen above, a screen weighing only 2 kg, with a special adapter. I needed to turn my monitor to a place where there was very little vertical space. The support is very good, with a good weight, but it's still a little light in my case, I have to put something else on the base to offset further relative to the screen, otherwise there a risk which falls forward. But my purpose is very particular, if the product quality is very good, and I think for a microphone it will work fine.
