Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the sturdiness, price, and length of the MBA38 38-inch Microphone Boom Arm. They appreciate its compatibility with desktop mics and its metal construction. However, some customers feel that the movement at the base could be improved. Overall, the boom arm seems to be well-received for its quality and value.

    I absolutely love this mic arm! Works great with my Blue Mic. Easily adjustable and when I am not using it, I can easily move the mic arm out my way.

    Super dope purchase. Wish i had one of these years ago. Make sure you have a good quality desk or place to clamp it on, is does have bit of weight to it when its extended in a horizontal direction. -@kadencychicago

    Nice and sturdy. Holds it's position well and requires a decent amount of force to adjust its position, which I like. The parallel rail design and included cable ties allow for cable concealment which looks nice. Great length too and articulates well. My one major complaint with this is the lack of vibration dampening on the clamp. I added material to the inside of the clamp to help. You can literally just tap your finger on the desk/ platform it's clamped to and hear major feedback picked up by the mic. In fact I haven't found a perfect solution to this yet, but thick rubber inserts are the best I can do for now. It's possible there's a product specifically designed to mitigate this but I haven't found one yet.

    It's so nice for the price I bought it twice. I would compare this boom arm to a lot of the other scissor boom arm offerings on the market but this one has a convenience of being at pretty much any Best Buy store in the country you can just walk in and get one bring it home and Mount up a standard threaded microphone. Though I would recommend taking some time to get to learn the ergonomics of how to swing the arm because you may bend it the wrong way whenever you first try it out but it's resilient enough to not break

    Bought this for my boyfriend since his last one broke. He's had 0 issues. It supports his heavy mic that he uses for streaming and editing. It's worth the price, durable, and easy to set up.

    Finally the mic arm I've been looking for

    This is the fourth mic boom arm I've tried, and this one does what I need, finally. I have a shelf over my desk, and want the mic to come out over my head just above the frame when I'm recording presentations. This arm is extremely long, giving me great possibilities whether I'm sitting in front of my computer or standing up to present in front of a green screen. The arm will come out completely horizontal if I want. Not only that, but while many boom arms pad only the top side of the clamp, this one has padding on both sides so you won't damage the top of the bottom of the surface you are clamping to. The one thing to be aware of is that the minimum angle is a little more than 90 degrees. So while the boom arm will extend out very far, there's a minimum distance you will be to the place where you clamped the arm. So keep in mind that if you don't want 48 of extension, you may want to order a smaller model like the MBA38 so as to have more flexibility to get closer to where you clamped the mic

    I haven’t had the product for a super long time, but I can say that for the price, this arm is strong! I have a pod mic attached to it, which has some decent weight I might add, and it does it’s job perfectly. I was so worried I was buying an arm that couldn’t support my microphone. I looked into RØDE’s mic stand because it seemed fitting, but those fancy arms are so expensive, where as this one is $50+ cheaper. It comes with straps to help with your mic cable, 2 options for desk mounts, and built in channels for the XLR to run between. Fantastic option for someone who doesn’t have a whole lot to spend on extra items.

    Great boom. Holds up well, vibration resistant, and cost effective. Will not break your bank. Movement can be improved upon at the base, otherwise, a good starter. Not flimsy, Sturdy.

    It is a little stiff to move around and in my setup i have to move my mic in and out of position when i start and stop using it. It isnt the end of the world and probably will be helpful if i get an xlr mic later instead of the Wave mic. It holds the Elgato Wave mic, pop filter, and shock mount with no issues and no sag. Replaced a cheap $10 arm off ebay and you can tell this is higher quality plus the extra length on the arms is great in my setup where i needed to stretch it across the desk sometimes.
