While the use is completely the same as the previous model, this one is a tripod. The legs can be adjusted so they will have better stability and the height can be adjusted this way as well. The bottoms of the legs are covered with Non-slip material, keeping the legs immovable on the desk.
Iron construction makes this tripod quite light in weight but also susceptible to shaking when having a big load on top. Spreading the legs too much will also take up lots of desk space.
Thread mount is compatible with 3/8 and 5/8 microphones.
