Very good, nearly great..
Ordered the the CL1 first but it was too big, so this was the replacement - thanks to Thomann for their great returns procedure. Build quality is very good and it's nearly a fantastic product - a simple but strong spring clamp attaches it to the cab and it's easy from there to find a good close micing position.
Downside - the "adjustable edge grip"- ie the little clamp that fixes the CL1 S to the side of the cab - is not quite adjustable enough for all makes of cab. I have a Blackstar 2x12 and there isn't enough space to clamp securely to my cab in this instance - about 5-10mm more adjustment and it would be a 5 star product. I can mod it to fit, so no major issue, but it's something to be aware of. Definitely worth considering at the price, though.

A great way to mount a microphone to a guitar amp
I'd seen something like this and wanted one, then saw this new Gravity model and jumped at it. I'm glad I did, it's much neater than placing a tripod-based stand in front of an amp and more compact on small stages. Nothing to trip over! And it won't tip or get kicked over, plus the position you set is where it stays for the whole gig. It can mount from the top or side of the amp, even underneath. The bright green trim isn't to my taste but you don't notice it from off-stage. It folds up to a compact size for transport or storage. Uses strong metal for most of it and the machining is accurate. It can take a couple of tries to get the exact position you want and you can adjust the position of the mic on the arm, but not the length the arm extends from the clamp. There is some play in the mechanism but in use the spring tension prevents rattling. Some of the parts are plastic where you might feel they could be metal, but it helps keep the price very reasonable. After some use I find that some mics make it sag, even an SM57. I feel it should be able to support such a common microphone without difficulty. Even a lighter e906 makes it tip slightly. It won't fall off, but it's not 100% stable. It's also easy to lose one of the knobs and the small parts that help grip the edge of an amp.
The stability is better if you mount it to the top of the amp but not all amps will suit this as it may block the controls.

Great clamp. Well made, works great.
I've already used the larger version on cabinets, and now there's finally a version I can use on the Combo amps. Fits well to JC120, VOX, Fender, etc.
It does take some adjustments and getting used to for optimum Mic positioning, but that is quickly learned. I ordered some more and they are perfect with my E606 & E906 Mics.

Its great in principle but....
Its a great design concept but unfortunately the spring mechanism in the unit for clamping onto the amp vibrates and makes noise when the amp is being played. Which for live gigs probably isnt a problem but for recording is an issue.
Still if i find a way to dampen the unit can and will be very useful.

Pratique pour libérer de la place au sol
Super petit "pied" micro. Je l'utilise sur mon Roland Blues Cube Artist et il tient correctement un SM57.
Ce qui est pratique c'est que ça libère l'espace au sol. C'est donc Idéal pour le home-studio où la place manque souvent.
Je compte aussi l'amener lors de concerts pour repiquer l'ampli dans la sono mais pour l'instant avec le COVID19 ce n'est pas possible.
Attention : il y a deux versions : la S et la normale : vérifiez bien la taille (profondeur) de votre ampli avant d'acheter. Pour un combo de taille moyenne comme le Blues Cube Artist le S me suffit. ;-)

Worthless on my cabinets and mics
This mic stand don't work my MD421 or WA-14 mics, when using them on an Orange openback 2x12 or a Fender Tweed Deluxe. It just slips and won't stay in place. 30 Euros better spent on a K&M stand or similar.

P:
I like it, only used it a few times yet, but it will get more usage in the future.
Pros: stable, sits where you place it, grabs your amp well enough, even for very small amps I can add a small block of wood to have a better grip of the clamp, good price and build quality and I like the green rings it comes with :)
Cons: the arm itself has only one angle adjustment, for the other angles you need to articulate the mic holder itself, which is not a problem, but you might need to repeat the adjustments a few times til you nail the position you want.

Good product design
I have used this on a tiny practice amp and on a blues junior so its fine for the smaller combos. If you need to save a bit of space these are perfect for a crowded stage like where us normal folk have to play. Its a great idea and design. It grips well and easy to set up. The only issue was the mic holder wont fit certain mics but it can be swapped out. You get extra rubber washers that may come in handy after repeated use.

Wow what a nice piece of equipment, super smart solution. Have my amp on my desk (small room) but keeps the mic in place pretty well!
