Gravity MA Goose M

I've used this particular gooseneck now for several years on the road and in studio and it has never failed me. It fits any standard mic stands perfectly and can hold an impressive amount of weight without drooping.

I originally bought this so that I could hang my vocal mic (sm58) more comfortably over the drums, but I soon found plenty of other really practical applications for it (one of which being a go-to for precise bass drum mic positioning).

I don't know how many times I've bent this thing for a show and then straightened it back out for transport, but it has never once failed me. The metal used in the construction is extremely sturdy and you notice it right out of the box.

I can't recommend this gooseneck enough. Just about as close to a 10 out of 10 review as you can get.

My use cases:
I use these goosenecks (I have 4 of them) either for having a second mic on one stand, clamped on a board for instruments like koto or monochord, or mounted on a table stand for elevating the mic for instruments played on the floor, like a hang (it saves some space, compared to a mini stand like the Millennium MS 002).
Weight limits:
In the last case, where the gooseneck is basically vertical, I can mount mics like ATH 2020 or MXL 770, otherwise the weight of a Shure SM 57 is the limit.
Also consider that with a SM 57 the gooseneck will bend downward a few centimetres, when fully stretched out horizontally. You can make the system more rigid by bending the gooseneck, but you will loose about 30% on the maximum length. Otherwise, with mics like Rode M5 and t-bone SC 140, there are no problems.
Durability:
After using them about 30 times the rigidity seems to have not changed, though this is a subjective feeling spread over one and a half years of usage.
