Really sturdy, rather heavy
This stereo bar is great for holding two microphones on one stand. It has handy markers to be able to set your stereo array in perfect alignment and has handy guides on there to be able to set up X/Y or OTFR quickly.
The unit is very sturdy, if anything a little too sturdy. The weight of the item means a regular boom stand doesn't quite hold the weight. I use it for drum overheads and I ended up using a drum clamp to hold the boom arm up as the regular stands kept sagging down with how heavy the bar is.
If you want a sturdy stereo bar and don't have flimsy stands in your studio then this is the one!

Solid stereo bar
First of all. This bar is a lot bigger than it looks in the photos, it also not the lightest bar out there. So keep that in mind of you need to use it in tight places, like under a partially closed piano lid, or on the end of a long mic-stand boom arm. This isn't a huge problem in the studio, but it can prove difficult to use it live when you only have standard light weight tripod-stands and need to extend the boom arm.
With that being said, this is a excellent product! It's got markings for easy and exact setup, and every mount can twist and turn every which way making it a joy to get the microphone placement just as you want it.
Just keep the weight and size in mind.

Well build, but does not work as advertised.
Unless I am missing something here, there does not seem to be a way to stagger typical pencil microphones (Rode M5) in height when doing near-incident mic'ing (X/Y, ORTF) without extra flanges not included in this product. The mic's will be pointing at diferent horizontal angles, not what you want. The Rode alternative seems to be able to do this by putting a simple plastic flange once below and once above the bar ...
Also, the adjustment angle of the bar to a microphone boom is limited to 180 degrees, making it impossible to point the microphones horizontally when the boom is pointing downwards.
It is well built though ...
Not sure to return this or adapt it ....

Awesome quality!
I am pretty surpirised how high quality all the Gravity products are - and this bar is no exception. It's not the cheapest but you really get a value for your money, and this is for me the most important thing!
Highly recommended!

Excellent
Got it as a bundle with a pair of Lewitt LCT040. It is of excellent quality, like all Gravity products I have, and I am sure it will withstand the test of time. Only thing to keep in mind if it's of importance to you is that it is somewhat heavier than its looks might have you think,

Good spacer
Great for X/Y and ORTF spacing but doesn't include any spacers to adjust the height of the mic being used so an additional purchase will be necessary.

It does not do proper XY, false advertising.
I'm returning this item to get a proper unit for XY: Alctron MAS006. You basically have to direct one mic up and the other down to get them on top of each other, completely random. Waste of time and money to ship back.

Strong and precise
I didnt expect such a robust and well made product for the price, it is easy to use and it stays in place, great guides for angles and different micking tecniques that makes it fast and easy to use.
NO cons.

Must have for stereo recording
Im using stereo bars for recording orchestras or chamber music. Usually I was using K&M stereo bar that was quite sturdy and useful but due tu prefabricated fixed 4 holes for microphones, it was useless with longer mics for using XY recording technic. This Gravity stereo bar is perfect! Top notch quality, no flimsy parts, no wobble, fullly adjustable (ortf, xy) even for longer Earthworks mics which I'm using and scale on stereo bar really helps for faster adjustment!
Defenitly worth extra €. Buy it once and you are good for life...
