My dynamics are causing my 2 foot long flexible stand extender to droop.
Any recommendations for something lighter? don't want to use an arm.
For live voice.
I'm going to refrain from the obvious jokes.
I noticed that few published specs include the weight.
thanks

Maybe an RE15 or RE18 (or similar). Pretty small and light weight and a great mic.
 
If you have a mic you like, soundwise, buy a better stand rather than a new mic. That being said, the afforementioned EV dynamics are nice. I'd add the RE16 to that list.
 
thanks, appreciate the replies.

Tried conventional stands with arms, but got in the way of my gear.
This is for a specific setup where i play foot pedals, keys, guitar, and sing at the same time.
 
I know this is not what you asked about, but I have worked with people that sound like they have a similr setup on many occassions and have never had an issue getting a mic to them with a standard stand. Keep in mind however that I use quality K&M stands or AKG stands and not the cheapy little on stage stands or some other cheap brand. The NIcer stands will allow you to put the stand up higher, boom out farther, and have a heavier mic on it without sagging or stripping loose.
 
Like xstatic mentioned, I'm sure a good boom stand would do the trick.
