Upgraded Arm Stand

It's wonderful. It lets me get the Blue Snowball off of that terrible tiny stand, up off my desk and closer to my face when I want it - and push it away when I don't. It's also really easy to attach a standard pop filter on. I think I actually like this arm a lot more than some more expensive ones, like Blue's Compass. Where that one takes up a huge amount of space on my desk, this one I can push back into a nice compact unit away from me. Blue's just kind of swings around like Frankenstein's arm. This just seems to be more versatile to me than that. It's also a lot lighter. With the Compass, I tried putting it on several less stable pieces of furniture (my desk isn't great for clamps) and it totally toppled over (taking the furniture with it!) due to the weight. This one is so much lighter, but still sturdy, and I was able to affix it to waaay more stuff without having it fall over. And this is CHEAP AS HECK! It does lack a good shockmount, but even without it this hasn't been an issue for me. While there is one included, I don't even understand how it's supposed to work. I'm pretty sure it would not work with the Snowball, but maybe a thinner one?

This mic boom is amazing and does everything it says! It was fairly easy to set up once I looked a bit more into the directions provided, which weren't the best and very much picture based. I will say that this mic boom is very very short and not intended to be clamped (I'll refrain from the word mounted as you do not need to drill a hole into the desk to mount it permanently) to the back of the desk and spun around towards your face. It very much will only fit around the side of the desk to be positioned towards your face. Now upon me figuring that out I grew a bit worried that it would not fit my desk as my sides have a metal edge with a lip so I was unsure if the unit would clamp correctly and if it would even stay up. Lucky for me the circular metal camp part goes under the desk instead of the much larger and complex shape made by the alloy steel. Now to address the issue of the Blue Yeti microphone and it working with this stand. I can tell you that you WILL need to get the version with the extra metal adapter as that shockproof microphone clip DOES NOT work with the Yeti. This was something that scared me too as well as I had read Yeti reviews that sometimes the hole needed for attaching it to a mic boom is sometimes poorly made by them and some of the holes are either not wide or big enough for mounting. Mine did not seem to have that problem which was a huge sigh of relief even though Yeti does carry a two year warranty for their products and would replace the mic with a new one for that problem. In the end this mic boom works like a charm for someone who has a loud keyboard and is a loud typer which was picking up with the original mic stand given by Blue for the Yeti. Now when I am in discord with friends playing a game and have to type to someone quickly. I can type to them and it no longer sounds like the fist of the gods raining down in the ear drums of my friends. I am sure they are happy. LOL

I wasn't sure what to expect for this price and frankly wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised that this is a decent stand. The build quality is solid so it's not flimsy. I wouldn't call it pretty but as far as form following function, it's not bad. If the screws were black it would have a cleaner look. But importantly, the springs are strong enough and the thumb screws work well. My mic isn't particularly heavy but I assume this would hold a heavy mic solidly. The shock mount is fine but not great for thicker microphones. Mine barely fits but it does fit so no complaints there. The one complaint I have is I tend to swing the arm around so it's not in my face when I'm not using it and the base clamp is a little on the small side so it can slip back and forth. It's not going to come flying off the desk but it's not "solid". Honestly, it's a minor gripe that I could probably fix with some tape or something.

This is a great product. Do make sure you have one of the mics supported by it however. I have a Yeti so it works great. Very easy set up. The tension on it is very good and I have yet to have any problems with it moving from where I put it, even with a heavier Yeti mic on the end. It clamps nice and easy to most surfaces because it has a wider range of size on the base to fit most spots. I did put a small piece of cloth on both sides of the base clamp as to not damage my desk top and to give it a little more vibration absorption if it was even needed. Mind you I assumed and did it before testing to see if it needed it. But all in all, this is definitely a 5 star product, especially for the price paid. Highly recommend

This is the second mic boom arm that I got from Amazon. The first one had plastic, YES plastic arms for the tension springs. This one DOES NOT!!! They are full metal from one side to the other. This even has an extra whole on the horizontal arm that allows you to move the tension spring screw out in the event that you setup is too heavy for it. This is an all metal construction, except for the knobs to tighten the axis points. I am please to say that this boom arm is well worth it. The mount for your desk/table is plenty wide. I have a think desk from Ikea and this fit nicely. I boom does not bounce when moving it either. I did not use the included mic holder as my Marantz MPM-2000U came with its own. I also did not need the extra threaded screw to attach this other mic holder. The only thing that is really missing is a clip or something to hold the mic wire down the arms. I used some of this velcro like tape that I got from the hardware store that was meant to hold Christmas lights onto things. Works well enough as I can slide the mic wire around as needed.

Lo compré hace como un año y no había reseñado. Pero aún lo tengo y cumple su función. La verdad si fue lo que esperaba

The first thing I noticed about this stand is its sturdiness. It's made of high-quality materials, so it's heavy and solid. This is important because it keeps the microphone stable and prevents it from wobbling or falling over. It also ensures that the stand will last a long time, even with frequent use. The stand is adjustable, which means you can set it to the perfect height for your needs. It's also easy to adjust, so you can do it quickly and without any fuss. The stand also has a boom arm, which allows you to position the microphone exactly where you need it. Another thing I appreciate about this studio mic stand is its versatility. It can be used with a variety of microphones, which means you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. It's also suitable for a range of recording setups, including home studios, podcasting, and live performances. Overall, I highly recommend this studio mic stand to anyone in need of a sturdy, adjustable, and versatile microphone stand. It's well-made, easy to use, and delivers great results. Whether you're a professional musician or just starting out, this stand will help you get the most out of your microphone and ensure that your recordings sound great.

Good enough, good springs, might have been tougher but with such a great price - nothing to complain about

El brazo llegó en excelentes condiciones, viene junto con tres adaptadores para micrófonos distintos, incluyendo el Blue Yeti o Snowball. Lo único malo que puedo verle es que, aunque si aguanta el peso de un Blue Yeti, no se queda completamente fijo en la posición que lo coloques, pues por el mismo peso se llega a bajar el brazo. Todo depende de como lo acomodes para que no se baje demasiado y se quede a la altura que necesitas. Muy buen producto

Good
