One of the things that sets a studio apart from others is the quality of the equipment, and mic boom arms are almost ten a penny. Unless you go for the really expensive Yellowtec stuff, of course. this arm from Blue is a suitable halfway measure - not massively expensive (comparable to Rode and others in price) and a style reminiscent of the Yellowtec gear.I'd prefer to have the XLR cable fully enclosed for aesthetic reasons, but otherwise this arm looks and performs well. The desk mount is strong, and of you're at all handy with DIY you could theoretically mount it through the desk quite easily with the right nut, bolt and washer. Of course, it works pretty well as designed.Support for it from Blue is not good - things like desk mounts are available but only to the US customers. I wrote asking Blue about that, and still have no response from them. I wouldn't hold your breath on that! Just get a US postal box and have a desk mount sent over.Overall I am very pleased - I bought two. They are sturdy, easy to set up, no external springs, all the friction brakes and dampers work well... it's also remarkably smooth to swivel and the mic attachment is very good - locks perfectly and makes a big difference compared to the cheaper alternatives.Yes, you can buy a scissor style angle-poise design for a tenth of the price. You get what you pay for - having been through 5 such arms, I am pleased with the quality and workmanship of this arm... now... if only the XLR was internal ;)

I have Custom Van den Hull cables and was not sure if they would fit with this arm, they do!There are some negative reviews for this arm that I just don't see with mine, ether people didn't take the time to adjust it before reviewing. who knows!Its solid, very well built indeed!I found that if you tighten up the arm to the point where it only just not straightening up on you then you get a really light to move arm. way better than some of the others I have had.I have had the innogear arm for $50 is good and longer than this one so say better behind the monitors.I have had a cheap unbranded arm for $15 and this is by far the lightest thing to move and I still love it.Getting this blue had to compete with the cheap one I love so much and the innogear that was perfect for keeping the studio clean.The Blue Compass apart from not being long enough to reach over the monitors it has exceeded my expectations.It has taken a while to get it adjusted right as I had things over tightened to begin with. now its set right its light to move solid as a rock. and I'm very happy it takes a bit of time to get it set just right.I am using an Audio Technical AT4047 with mine so not the most heavy mic!Nothing more than fantastic.It cost quite a bit so for the home user it may be overkill unless you have the cash and need the look!if I was not a Streamer then I would not have brought this as the cheap one is amazing in function and really really did the trick with my AT3035.

Decent mic arm with great looks but has a disappointing range of movement.Be absolutely certain that this will fit your desk or setup in the way you need it to as it is not forgiving - especially as an impulse buy. I was fortunate.Pros: Looks great. Stylish, with smart cable management and an easy way to adjust the tension in each arm - simply turn the tighteners and if you need to, adjust the tension in the base. Simple right?Cons: Stiff and awkward to manoeuvre, can really only be used in a top-down position. If you have a wide desk, the arm isn't long enough to keep a good height. Look at the marketing picture! It shows a guy looking at his monitor, but the mic is blocking!You can flip the mic up, but not all the way (more like an angle), creating some awkward re-positioning, similar to adjusting a monitor arm.Be aware: Many are reporting that their mic isn't heavy enough or is too heavy for this boom. Sometimes the increase in tension is not enough, or there is too much for lighter mics.Should ideally be used with Blue Mics - or find weight equivalent. To note is that not until I installed the stabiliser did this arm work correctly for me.Conclusion: Finicky item that is made up for in the looks department, but do your research and check if it's right for you!Lastly: I have the Rode PSA1 and while it looks bad and has a loose connection at the base - it is by far more functional and it just works.

I've been doing online teaching of late and got a Blue Yeti microphone. Soon after getting it, I realised that the microphone needs to be pretty close to one's mouth to get the best results. I looked at adjustable desktop stands and cheaper boom arms, but they didn't look quite right. They either looked cheap, or like they wouldn't last. Some even required drilling a hole into a desk to fit them, which sounded pretty unappealing! This one was under £100 from Amazon Warehouse and makes my Yeti really easy to position. It feels well made and seems like an excellent product.

I like the sturdiness and strength of this arm it can hold any of my mic's comfortable. After adjsting and training it at the start it is now in the ideal location and can swing positions for different circumstances at a touch. A touch too expensive in my opinion but overall very pleased with the stand and would recommend it to others.

This arm just doesn't work unless you have Mjölnir at the other end of the arm. Seriously how is it this bad? I tried with a light microphone and then a heavier one, it made no difference to it flipping around like a fish out of water.Regardless of how tight or loose you make the joints, it never stays in the position that you set it in and as a result - it's as stiff as a cadaver. It's also very cheap in its construction, with the cheapest plastic clips to keep cables tidy and hollow frame.They're plenty of better and cheaper alternatives that not only work as intended, but don't require an hour to measure the correct angles to be able to set it in.
