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.

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.

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.

Because if the way its built it fits a wide variety of microphones, and the quality of the arm is very impressive, and comes with everything you need.
For my application it is a little bulky I will say, but ive enjoyed it so much I am just keeping it.

So-so cable management, good cable

The good: Sturdy, nice length, and the cable management eventually works well.
The bad: to get any but the cheapest cables through the cable management, you have to remove the end caps that were clearly never meant to be removed. Once the cable is in, though, it’s out of sight.

I bought this to replace an arm I had bought years before and I have to say its worth the money. It holds the weight of the Shure mic, is long enough to reach over monitors or across the desk, and its very steady.

This is a really good boom arm, it stays out of the way while still reaching exactly where you want it too. Cable management is very nice with the notches it has by its hinges! The reach is also quite nice, I don't have to have it right in the way anymore!
It is a little stiff, which means it can be harder to move at times, but at the same time, it doesn't move from the place you put it! So it can go either way on if its a good thing or a bad thing, especially when you use the attachment that you screw into your desk. Sometimes it could sound like its pulling the wood apart.
Other then that this is a really good boom arm, that has impressed me in more ways then one! Definately worth the buy!

Its sad that blue (the makers of the yeti mic) cant make a good boom arm for their own profuct. The spring tension on the compass was so strong it just wouldnt position the way i wanted. But THIS boom arm, took 2 minutes to setup and it literally goes where i want it to go with no rising or drooping , so on that note , instant five stars for me. And its cheaper

We we looking for a solution to a problem we had for holding air sail switches that would be sturdy and adjustable. These microphone stands did the trick for sure. We were so impressed with the “prototype” we built with these, we made 17 more. These stands were everything we could hope for!

A perfect stand for the price. Easily holds a Shure Beta 58 tightly, and the table stand is VERY unique. You can screw this one down, making it special.
