InnoGear Microphone Arm Stand, Heavy Duty Mic Arm Microphone Stand Suspension Scissor Boom Stands with Mic Clip and Cable Ties for Blue Yeti Snowball Hyper X QuadCast SoloCast Fifine Gaming(Large)

This boom arm is honestly better than I expected for the price. It’s sturdy enough to hold my mic without sagging, and the built-in cable management makes my setup look way cleaner. I really like how smooth the movement is, it holds position well but isn’t stiff or jerky. The included extension riser helped it clear my monitor, which was a bonus. For anyone looking to upgrade their mic setup without breaking the bank, this is the one.

Fantastic mic stand have had it for several years now but the little plastic piece that holds the silver bar has broken and i cant seem to find a replacement anywhere that fits it. If anyone can help me please let me know id rather replace a $2-$5 piece than have to spend $60 on a new stand.

I have a "lollipop" style condenser microphone that I bought from Another Site a while ago (no longer offered by them). This thing is about 1.3 kilos all by itself; after you attach the shock-damping basket and pop filter, we're closing in on two kilos. So I needed something sturdy that could handle the weight of the thing, and this one appeared to fit the bill.## First Impressions ##The boom was nicely boxed, with a perfunctory instruction sheet. It arrived *very* tight; it was surprisingly difficult to unfurl the thing. However it clearly would not be fazed by the mic.Installation is straightforward: Attach the clamp to the edge of the desk. Insert the round "stem" of the boom arm into the clamp and tighten the stem screw to taste. Velcro cable wraps are provided to secure the cable(s) to the boom arm. The "elbow" has a grooved insert where the cable may be nested. The mic is attached to a short post at the end with a standard 5/8" thread.## Details, Disappointments, and Annoyances ##For the amount of weight this thing is expected to bear, I feel the desk clamp is too small, and am concerned that it may damage the desk surface over time. The total clamping surface on the top side is about 1.5" deep by 1.25" wide. Further, the clamp extends about 1.75" beyond the edge of the desk to accomodate the stem hole/screw for the arm (I had to scooch my desk away from the wall a bit for it to fit).On the desk clamp, the hole for the boom arm's stem has its own screw clamp to firmly secure it. However, doing so prevents the arm from rotating side-to-side. If you need the arm to move side-to-side, you can't fully secure this clamp, and the arm will wobble slightly when you adjust its position.This particular boom arrived very tight -- so tight that it was quite difficult to move around, even after installation. I eventually had to loosen some of the assembly screws to get it how I wanted. To do do: Remove the round caps at each of the joints (these caps are largely decorative and contribute negligibly to the tightness). Underneath you will find additional screws near the main support rods. Gently but firmly adjust them a little at a time until you get the flexibility you want. All screws on my arm were 3.0mm Allen (hex) heads.The clamp securing the mic mounting post at the end has *far* too little friction. While the boom as a whole can handle two kilos, this tiny smooth-surface clamp stands no chance; my giant microphone just swung straight down no matter what I did. It might be possible to improve this by adding lockwashers, but that could also chew up some of the plastic fittings. This is easily the most disappointing part of the boom.## Conclusion ##Despite the foregoing, the boom keeps the mic in the position I want when I'm recording, and keeps it well out of the way when I'm not. It's doing pretty much exactly what I wanted it to, and I'm happy with it.

The media could not be loaded. After a solid 4 years, it finally broke.And by broke I mean one of the parts just won’t hold up my mic anymore. The rest of it still works perfectly! Sucks that I’ll have to replace it. I play a lot of games/talk with friends often, so I need my mic to be facing me since that’s the direction it detects sound. Not sure if 4 years is the average lifespan for a mic arm, this is my first. But I’m content with the use I got out of it! I tend to move my mic around a lot.

Blue Yeti User:Update: This is a good mic if you don't use it much or adjust your mic. Don't buy this mic. Just get the Logitech Blue Yeti stand. In the long run, the one fatal flaw of this design, which I initially wondered about, is why spend the money on the metal frame if the most important part, that part that holds the mic is plastic. I have had two of these now and they both failed in the same place. I bought this two years ago when updating my office to give lectures or to participate in webinars. I have been using the Logitech blue yeti boom arm for a while now; because there are no plastic parts except for the screw covers. This isn't a problem and I feel like it will last a very long time because the pieces that hold the mic are all metal and it's the one I have now is compatible with the current equipment I have listed below. The Inno is a solid stand, but if you use it weekly and need to handle your mic often, this IS NOT the mic for you. Pay the 100.00 for a long-lasting boom mic and don't pay 40 twice for this like did. Beginners mistake so let me save you the money.I mean it, no problems. Sturdy, the plastic clamp is hard plastic. While I can see someone’s desire for a metal clamp, I don't have any reservations whether it will survive the life of the arm itself.As a person who values cable management, I dont have a problem with how its set up. The velcro ties are helpful for storing the wires neatly.Pro Tip: dont do as I had done initially and place the tie around the entire width of the arm, but between them.The joints are stiff but that makes me confident that it will last a long time and that it will stay in place while in use. I am so glad that I did not buy the yeticaster (while cool) or the Rodes boom arms. This more than works for my purposes.Use: I use my microphone for my WFH office to record lectures and just as a better mic for zoom meetings.Equipment: I am using the InnoGear boom arm with my Mounkey metal pop filter (if you are thinking about it, get it, it’s worth it!) and a Auphonix pro blue yeti shock mount. I did not need an adapter and it fit right into my mount. Finally my desk is 5” long standing desk and it is two inches thick. It barely slid on but it did so if your desk is ANY thicker than that this WILL NOT work for you. However, if you bought a cheap boom arm first, like most of us, keep your clamp because it just might fit. I dont have a problem positioning my mic for comfort sitting or standing. I have it positioned at the side of my desk. If I got the jumbo version I would have the mic come from above my screens.I would recommend! Enjoy!

Love how sturdy this feels when moving it around. It is a bit stiff when moving but that tells me how good it is. The only thing missing that i didn't get was the cable ties. I'm not complaining about it since i already have some cable ties for my cords. The other thing is that my mic does not fit the stand I have a Shure Mv7x and it doesn't screw on all the way but i was still able to screw it on a little bit. Very hard at first to get it screwed on but once i got it on i'm not gonna take it off and struggle again lol.
