Professional Studio Condenser Microphone Suspension Boom Scissor Mic Arm Stand with Table Mounting Clamp Suitable for Blue Yeti Snowball

Works for my needs. Holds up the mic without shifting or sagging. A bit noisy to move, but not crazy loud. Does feel cheap, but works fine! For the price, you won't beat it.

I have an L-Shape desk and needed a microphone arm for streaming/content creation. I honestly didn't even look at compatibility, which I should have, but this worked perfectly with my Blue Snowball microphone. Unfortunately I can't see a way to have it work with my condenser microphone without purchasing some additional but that's fine the main purpose was for my snowball microphone. Setup was extremely easy, I'm even clamping it on a somewhat thin metal bar because my table is actually glass and it still functions perfectly. I've had this for quite awhile now, maybe up to a year? Still works perfectly, no issue with it becoming loose or unusable. I'd recommend this to anyone in the market for a microphone arm, especially for the same purposes.

** This is my experience. No endorsement of this or any other product/service (by comparison) is intended. I don't assume a seller to be a product's manufacturer.** I looked at several versions of this item and it appears that they all function the same way and fail in the same way. Fail? Specifically where it connects to your desk - it's always cheaply made nonsense. Don't expect an adjustable base with a brake (or even bearings!). Of all I saw it is most often a dumb metal peg that falls into a loose, poorly welded circular sleeve. The clamp is the 'C' clamp idea but of sub-dollar store quality. The clamp washer/disc may be too big to allow a secure fit on your desk if your desk has any protrusion underneath within an inch and a half or so from the edge. What's the answer? Certainly not a $99 version of the same thing! (Which I actually saw). It's the mic at the end of the wobbly, bent-peg "pro" studio arm gag. Don't try to swivel this out of your way cooly like you saw in a show or movie without safety goggles. OR if you do ... remove your mic, lower what needs lowering, don your goggles, turn out the lights and spin it hard to see if it makes sParKs!

The arm works well and will hold quite a hefty microphone. The desk clamp base, however, leaves a lot to be desired and the arm fits loosely in the base. I wrapped cardboard (!) around the mating surface to make it more stable. Purely on a quality standpoint, it would get a 3 star due to the poor base - but for the price, it gets 4 stars.

This is a pretty good mic stand. Seems somewhat durable, spring loaded both forward/ back, and up/ down. This is great because you can put it where you need it and it will stay there! As an example: when recording acoustic, I pull the stand out from the side of my desk, and when done I just push it back beside my desk. No one can see it, and it’s clutter free for me. The desk mount is ok, and it definately seems to hold its place once I make it nice and tight.Overall, worth the money and I would buy again!

This "professional" mic stand is a joke. It holds my mic up but the build quality is terrible. Screwing the clamp down causes the metal contact disk to slide out from under the table because the clamp wasn't made square and it attaches to the desk crooked. The plastic adapter doesn't stay seated on the mic holder so it stays loose and won't tighten to hold my mic where I want it, and the metal is poorly welded together. After 1 day of use, the metal bit that holds your mic stand to the clamp broke off because it was only being held on with a few tack welds. I had to end up buying a new clamp and drilling through it to screw it straight into my desk since the arm is designed to swing and the clamp in its own isn't sufficient.

I have had the mic stand for 6 months, using it with a silver Blue Yeti microphone (attached via the Auphonix plastic shock mount). After about 3 months of normal use, the tensioning bolt at the head of the stand began to strip its threads, so the nut would not tighten, and the mic would just swing freely at the end of the arm. I saw what was happening and reversed the plastic piece that held the nut in place, so that the nut would go closer to the head of the bolt, but after 3 more months, the same thing happened. The bolt is now stripped in 2 places on its shaft, and so I'm now totally unable to use the stand, as my Yeti can't be positioned at all.

Very happy with it. I screw on my Blue Snowball USB mic onto it, attach the stand to the side of my table, and it does a good job keeping the mic steady and allows me to position it comfortably for me to speak into without having to crouch down or anything like that. The part that screws into the mic is made from plastic, I think it would have been better if they had made it from metal, but thus far it does the job.
