Way too flexible
This amp clamp won't stay in place for long.
I've attached it to my amp and tried it with a really light mic but even so it always starts bending down after a while.
I'd suggest you spend some extra money and buy something more sturdy...
It's easy to attach and all but it's purpose, which is to keep the mic in place in your amp, fails completely.
Anyway, if you're still interested in this piece of clamp, the flexible tube can be dettached and swapped for something sturdier. I think they sell that separate part, but I haven't look it up yet.
I hope this review helps. Have a good day!

Don't bother with cab grabber
Summary:
Save yourself some money, but this instead of the cab grabber
Use:
Busy pub covers band. This gets bashed around weekly. It's survived drunks kicking at it*, me loading it carelessly, the amp falling on it... it's a great piece of kit
Quality:
It's just as good as a cab grabber. The goose neck isn't quite as stiff, so you have to spend maybe 10 seconds more getting it in position, but honestly, what were you going to do with those ten seconds? Look at facebook? This is perfect for purpose
*Drunks kicking it: I don't know what it is that enrages the inebriates of this world about an amp clamp, but it does. Any time a drunk person sees it, they just want to punt it! Same for the cab grabber. This has stood up to three punts. I still have a spare though.
Seriously, great great product

Barely functional
The clamp instals easily but only on small speaker cabs due to limited grip. The spring that holds the clamp makes the strange sound when the amb is being played(!) sonuns like spring reverb. Funny effect but certainly unwanted. The movement of the gooseneck is limited and the neck keeps comming back to its initial position. Hence the clamp is barely functional.

very useful
a grate peace of cit for anyone doing live sound i have two of these now . grate for geting a nice tidy stage its out of the way it avoids your mic positions being moved by artiest kicking over your mic stands these clamps have a nice handy cable clip on them so you can beep your cables tidy as well. the goos neck is grate on smaller lighter mic's you can move it feely and it stays in position if you start to use heavier mics tho it dose tend to droop a bit but its not to bad iff you put the clamp up hieer than where you what your mic to go. these clamps are a grate perchance and im very happy with them word of worming tho iff you need them to mic up an orange 4x12 cabb this clamp wont fit its a bit of a stretch to fit on most cabs of that size for combos its grate ones for an experiment i did use it to clamp a mic to a rack tom witch worked pretty well looks horrible but it worked! so yeah i would recommend this clamp to a friend

Has some flaws
A clamp-on mic stand for the gutar amp is very practical for many situations. I'm using the Millennium Amp Clamp during rehershals and plan on using it live too. It's very easy to mount and there is no risk of bumping it out of position.
There are two flaws with the construction. First, the gooseneck is not flexible enough and tends to flex back when you try to position it. It's difficult to get it to point exactly where you want it to point. I'm going to replace it with a better goose neck (any mic stand goose neck should be possible to mount).
Second, I would have wanted it to be able to accept wider cabinets. My fellow guitarist in the band has an Orange 2x12 cab, and it's too wide for the amp clamp.
In summary, it's a nice product, but make sure your cabinet is narrow enough, and you need to plan on replacing the goose neck.

I thought that would be better
It really stays in place when you attach it one the amp but that goose neck... It is really trash. never stays in place, I am really unsatisfied with that purchase.

Did not work for me - mic positioning is not as flexible in terms of precise mic positioning as claimed. In the model I bought mic was always bouncing back to a certain position, which I did not like. Buy it if your have a specific budget and the problem I faced actually works for you well.

Works well (if a bit fiddly)
I leave this in my pedalboard case along with an MB75 (Thomann's excellent SM57 clone). It's much easier to carry, and quicker to set up, than a normal mic stand.
It's merely "OK" in terms of how well it holds the mic in place. I never worry that it will fall off, but it can fall a small distance before it settles in its final position, due to a combination of the spring tension and slighly weak gooseneck.
This is easy to work around - just put it on a tiny bit higher than where you'd like the mic to end up, and it will sink to the correct place. And for the price, this is definitely a reasonable compromise.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to mic up a guitar or bass amp but doesn't want to carry a heavy mic stand around all the time.

Great space saver on stage
Great product for on stage use. Takes up less space than a bulky mic stand on stage and allows you to get the mic into the perfect position on the speaker.
I've used the clamp on a few different combo's and cabs and it's fit fine on them all.

Handy bit of kit
Good strong spring.
The clamps are hard plastic.
It won't support a heavy LDC but for most mics i.e a SM57 it'll hold it in place.
