Extremely useful
This mic support is my main stereo bar for classical recordings. It goes wide enough for most jobs, is light and quick to set up. The third point is useful e.g. when using two wider omnis at the sides and adding an MS at the centre for stereo reference, or to make a decca tree etc. If you buy more, you can add clamps to go for four or more points on the bar. It looks heavy in sight, but audiences have never complained, and in video it is quite inobtrusive. Very much recommended.

Great quality and integrates with other Manfrotto parts
Like all Manfrotto products this one is well designed and accurately made and machined. You can fit it onto their adapters and mounts, or even buy a 2nd one and fit it to the centre point to make a more complex tree. Those little black tops are just plastic caps over 3/8" standard mic threads. You can get an adapter to attach under the middle mount to fit to a 3/8" mic stand thread (but not 5/8"-27 without an adapter to 3/8"). It will also take the Manfrotto studs and arms to fit onto Super Clamps or their various other mounting systems, or anything with adapters to their TV-type spigots.
It's made of aluminium not steel so it is light and stiff, but it's not strong enough to be trodden on. It has excellent paint and finish. The mounts slide smoothly along the bar or around to different angles. It has no problem with heavy LDC's so long as it's mounted on a stable base; it won't be the bar or mounting points that fail first.
I use a Super Clamp with an extension bar and can attach it to anything the clamps will fit. Versatile, durable and well-designed and made like all Manfrotto products are

Good support for any stereo recording
This is an absolutely needed tool if you want to make professional stereo recordings on field, especially in combination with the Manfrotto stands. It's very flexible: it has 3 microphone holders, one fix in the middle and two mobile, I use it to make an array of 4 microphones, and it's very easy to setup. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Stereo Bar
I bought 2 of these and use them on top of lighting stands for microphones. They allow for very flexible positioning of the microphones and are very well made. Much more flexible than most other stereo bars but they are quite large and you will need an adapter to fit it onto a normal mic stand

"The" stereo bar for your mics
Asbolutely well made and useful for spaced, ortf recordings. You can mount two large diaphragm microphones without problems at all.
