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)

As a streamer I installed this to my desk with an easy to install clamp which is strong as long ans you tighten it all the way. I paired it with my hyperX Quadcast which is a relatively heavy microphone. It holds my mic steady without any drag. It has smooth movements and comes with a cable management kit to make everything look clean. Overall for the price range it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for quality and ease of use.

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!

This is my first mic arm, but I'm really happy with it. It does everything I need it to do really, but even then, I just have 2 complaints about it. It has 2 main sections as you can see in the picture, but in order to fold completely, both sections have to be closed, which is unfortunate for me since the lower part's closed state is a little tilted back and hits my wall. My other complaint is that the clamp doesn't hold the stand in a really stable way. It's stable enough I suppose, but it's basically just barely held in there. You put the end of the stand, which is a short pole, into a holder that is far too wide for it and clamp that down with a screw. It really just BARELY makes it stable enough. You could still easily pull it out of the holder and scratch all the paint off of it at the same time and also scrape the paint off while swiveling it a bit in the holder. On top of the clamp holder being like this, the stand, at least at first, is very hard to move around as it's a bit stiff. It loosens up quickly, so that's not something I can complain about, but the issue is that because it's so stiff, you need to use a lot of force to move it around at first and can easily end up pulling it out of the holder a few times. These are just some issues I ran into, but they haven't been a deal breaker for me. It's extremely solid in construction and has a good range of motion. It is also able to support my Blue Yeti microphone without dangling or standing up straight. It really does a good job.

I recently added the InnoGear Microphone Arm Stand to my recording setup, and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and build quality. As a content creator, having a reliable and flexible microphone arm is crucial for maintaining consistent audio quality, and the InnoGear Mic Arm certainly delivers on those fronts. First and foremost, the build of this mic arm is solid and heavy-duty, living up to its promise of being robust and durable. It effortlessly holds my microphone in place without any wobbling or sagging, even when extended to its maximum length. This level of stability ensures that I can focus entirely on my content without worrying about any unexpected audio disturbances. Adjustability is another standout feature of the InnoGear Mic Arm. The multiple adjustment points allow for precise positioning of the microphone, ensuring optimal sound capture. Whether I'm recording a podcast, voiceover, or musical performance, I can easily maneuver the mic arm to find the perfect angle and distance, enhancing the overall quality of my recordings. Installation was surprisingly hassle-free, thanks to the clear and straightforward instructions provided. The clamp mechanism securely attaches to my desk without leaving any marks or damage, and it has proven to be quite versatile, accommodating various desk thicknesses. One of the aspects I appreciate most is the built-in cable management system. It keeps my recording area neat and organized, preventing any unwanted cable clutter. This attention to detail speaks to the thoughtful design of the InnoGear Mic Arm. Overall, the InnoGear Microphone Arm Stand has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and functionality. It's a reliable and sturdy addition to my recording setup.

I will start off by saying I have only had this stand for roughly 3 hours and plan to follow up in time. That being said, I have some thoughts on this product. About 7 years ago I purchased one of those cheap ~17$ desktop stands with the creaky exterior springs and a thin aluminum frame. I'll give credit where credit is due, I used it for 7 years and that included me moving it to a different home 5 times. Plus all the desk rearrangements I've done, not bad for 17$. However, from the get-go, it struggled to hold my mic (a mid-sized mic), small shock mount, and, to be fair, a decently weighty pop filter. Over time, that struggle turned into me stopping using the pop filter altogether. Not to mention at the head of the arm where the mic attaches could never hold the mic with that part out vertically, it had to stay horizontal. Eventually, the tensioner there gave out completely too. So by the time I retired that stand and purchased this one, it was about 40% functional. I share all of this with you because while I've only had this stand for such a short time, all of the early signs my previous stand showed this has none of. The frame is iron instead of aluminum making it look, feel, and function more robust. The interior springs are so munch stronger, there isn’t screw tensioners that will strip out (like my previous stand). I tested the strength of the top tensioner where the mic attaches (silver piece) with my mic, shock mount, and fairly heavy pop filter all attached at that point. I was able to lock the shaft at ~45 degrees and it held. I imagine lighter configurations could be completely horizontal. That is one suggested improvement in my opinion, replacing a screw tensioner that can give over time with some sort of locking pin mechanism that locks every 22.5 degrees or even 45 just for added rigidity. The clamp design is similar yet improved, very sturdy, all high quality materials. The entire stand has minimal plastic which I like. The included cable ties work great. They added a subtle yet practical channel on the back of the main elbow for cables to run keeping the look slick. Overall obviously I am very satisfied with this product and I am still in my ”honeymoon phase” For sure, so recognize my bias there. As I said, I plan to follow up again after pitting some real use on this stand. This is my overall first impression though. The bang for you buck is an impressive bang so far.

I broke my PSA-1. Not the fault of the PSA-1 as I grabbed it to prevent from falling and bent it at the joint. With that said, I did not want to spend the same amount this time around for a arm that lasted me 2 months. The problem is, I have a Rode PodMic that weighs 2LBS. Looking here on Amazon, I saw this arm. It looks similar and has a 4lb weight specification. NICE! Best of all, it is only a fraction of the PSA-1 price backed by Amazon's return policy. The good: -Joints, build quality and sturdiness are great. Wherever you set the mic, it will stay until you purposefully move the mic. -The thread pole is long. Much longer than the PSA-1 so your XLR cable will not restrict movement. I hated this about the PSA-1. -Supports over 4 LBS - PSA-1 is rated at 2.4 LBS -Not too stiff to move with one had. PSA-1 is incredibly stiff. -Has the same channels that you can route your cables in. I don't know if this was intended, but look at my photos. The grooves make the cable routing so clean even with thicker cables like the HOSA XLR. Negatives: -The desk clamp can be more robust. It is not bad, but the PSA is wider. -Only a 5/8 connector. No 3/8 adapter or vice versa. PSA-1 can do both with included adapter. I don't have anything 3/8 so I am good with it, but this might effect others. Let's be honest. What makes this arm good is that it is a direct copy of the PSA-1, but hey improved the more important things. I am so glad I tried this arm mount.

I've recently used a microphone arm that started off as a reliable accessory but unfortunately showed signs of wear and instability over time, leading me to give it a three-star rating. Upon first use, the microphone arm was impressive. The build was robust, and it held up the microphone securely, providing a steady platform for recording. The arm was easy to adjust, allowing for optimal positioning of the microphone. These early experiences made the arm a reliable addition to my recording setup. The design of the microphone arm is sleek and professional, lending an air of quality to any home or professional studio. It was simple to install and could be easily clamped onto most surfaces. This added flexibility made it a valuable asset in multiple recording environments. However, after some time, the arm started showing signs of wear. It began struggling to maintain the weight of the microphone, losing the initial steadiness it had displayed. This issue seemed to arise from the wear of the internal springs, which resulted in decreased tension and support over time. Despite these drawbacks, the microphone arm could still serve its purpose with lighter microphones or temporary use. It could also provide a reasonable choice for beginners or those on a tighter budget who are willing to compromise on longevity. In conclusion, while the microphone arm initially demonstrated strong performance and dependability, it fell short in terms of durability. This could be a noteworthy issue if you plan on using it regularly with heavier microphones. Therefore, I am giving this product a three-star rating, acknowledging its initial performance and value, yet noting the concern over its lasting ability.

Heck, I've seen some of mic-booms that cost more than triple this price, and really weren't appreciably better. I really think a lot of people pay more just for branding, like that's a higher priority for them than the actual quality, durability, functionality, and value -- "bang for the buck". Maybe that's some sort of "status" thing to some people, I don't get that. ...People sometimes tell me I'm super picky about little stuff, but I don't know -- I really don't expect a mic-boom to do a whole lot. It's not like it's supposed to be a swiss-army-knife. What more is there to be expected from it? It doesn't slice, dice, and chop, and nobody who's sane & rational is going to ask "but will it blend?" like it's a Ronko-kitchen-gadget infomercial. It has one job. Doing that job just means being sturdy enough to hold a fairly heavy mic and keep it in position, without being difficult/cumbersome to adjust/reposition when needed. This does that. More expensive ones don't really do any of those things any better than this one does. Cheaper ones that I've owned will usually have multiple problems. Sagging under the weight when extended is the one that's most noticeable, and it's a much bigger problem than just the annoyance of readjusting often -- because those cheap ones are pretty much always made of soft metal. If you've got to keep readjusting and torquing them down tighter-and-tighter, the metal wears out quickly and they're just done-for. Creaky/noisy springs are an issue with some designs. Flimsy attachment-points are so bafflingly common with cheap ones, which makes no sense at all since that's a pretty critical area -- it almost seems like it has to be a deliberately designed point-of-failure for the cheap ones. I've seen some cheap ones straight-up break at the desk/clamp attachment point because the entire weight of the boom/mic when extended is too much for it. Doesn't really matter how sturdy the rest of the boom is, or how sturdy the clamp is, if the boom attaches to the clamp with a 1.5-inch long, hollow, split-wrapped "tube" of metal that's so soft and thin it gets crushed by the bolt that's supposed to secure it. This one has none of those issues. It overcomes the design-issues you see on a lot of others, it does it at a surprisingly affordable price-point, and manages to look rather nice at the same time
