Does everything you want and is well built and good looking, couldn't be happier with this boom.

It has great aesthetics and looks fantastic on camera, but has poor functionality despite the solid build quality

So far it’s a great purchase and and it has a great build

The boom arm has been absolutely bullet proof with great build and easy setup.

I returned it for the PSA1 which is perfect (well built and stays exactly where I want it with great maneuverability)

The mic arm works really well, easy to install for the most part and easy to adjust the height and get out of the way when not in use

Well, rest assured, this works perfectly with a yeti on a shock mount

Never quite worked perfect with the Blue Yeti and shock mount

Looks sleek, smooth and strong, you just need to tighten the screws, people who say it slips or falls down just do not tighten it enough, works perfect, looks professional.

If you have a heavier mic then it may well work but for me it didn't work at all.

Tightening the joint at the base had done a good job of keeping that joint where I wanted, so I proceeded to do the same to the second joint.

First and foremost, it does a great job of holding a mic.

came out of the box with one position, letterly a stick can do a better job

It does a good job of holding up my Yeti mic, and I do have the shock mount, and cohesively it all looks great together, BUT I'M REALLY UPSET THAT IT ALREADY CRACKED FOR BENDING IT IN A

It looks nice but $30 arms do a better job at staying in place

Mine fell off while I battled for a more rigid setup.

The boom arm has been absolutely bullet proof with great build and easy setup.

I added the Radius III to hold my Yeti X and its the perfect setup

Strong, easy setup, adapts to fit any mic, quiet, and the most important; the base is perfect for desk connections.

Now, my genuine complaint, and it was relatively minor, was that the screw for the c-clamp to mount the the arm to the desk has a rigid and fixed plastic "T" style handle to crank it down

I admit the quality and look of the arm is great but the functionality of it ruins it for me

I admit the quality and look of the arm is great but the functionality of it ruins it for me

The quality is cheap, the tension springs are cheap and SUPER hard to get right

I would not recommend against it as it's a great stand, but I'd keep in mind that you'll have to be more creative with mounting

The material is great quality, but I had an issue with the middle knob

The springs inside the tensioners are so damn difficult to turn and they don’t work properly!!

There are springs in the arms, I assume to keep tension tight, the problem is, the springs are so stiff that the lock screws do not hold.

The springs that balance the position of the arm are SO INCREDIBLY STRONG that it is a physical impossibility to tighten down the brackets

I have been wanting to replace my crappy spring arm boom with something like this for some time, but the price point was beyond my means... until now

Despite that, the springs are so faulty that they snap the arm back into the inverted position no matter how tight

It's made very well (5-stars), plastic knob adjustments (3-stars), and I think the value is good

and I use it everyday for work as well as when I play games.

Terrible value, going to try a different stand - waste of $100!

I’ve used a couple mic boom arms and this one is definitely the best value for money.

I have it as loose as it will go without falling out, and it still shoots the arm straight upwards.

This boom arm and a nice solid piece of steel and a sturdy desk mount, that sits flush together with the boom arm

The Mount is solid until it breaks, The Middle Section of the Boom arm has a thumb Tighten Screw which eventually will burst/explode making the whole boom arm un-useableRidiculous that a EXPENSIVE name Brand Boom Arm uses a PLASTIC THREADED TENSION CAP on the MOST VITAL HINGE OF THE ARMLiterally google Broken Boom Arm... there is a guy 3d printing replacments because its so wide spread smh

Now, my genuine complaint, and it was relatively minor, was that the screw for the c-clamp to mount the the arm to the desk has a rigid and fixed plastic "T" style handle to crank it down

Not everyone has a cheap IKEA desk made of fiberboard that there's no harm drilling a more permanent mount into.-Instead of a scissor, use a 3 arm (or more) system

I've got my large and heavy Audio Technica BP40 dynamic mic mounted, and the stand required not a single adjustment out of the box; the mic stays in place perfectly, with no arm rise.

The Yeti Blue mic is heavy and was really taxing the strength of a cheaper boom arm I was using

I should have went with the cheaper boom as it seems to get better reviews

I'm not a big fan of the cheaper boom arms because their so obtrusive looking

This is the best looking boom you can buy for under or around $

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a trustworthy and functional boom arm.

But if you have the money to spend, this mic stand looks beautiful and does its job

The stand actually broke mid section while trying to adjust it

I figured a mic stand by Blue would be more reliable to hold up their own microphones

This is easily one of the most appealing if not THE most appealing looking microphone stand, its very solid and the whole frame is made of

This mic stand looks beautiful in the photos pero No lo compren

Does not support the Blue Yeti mic without drooping no matter how much you tighten the arm points.

Blue makes an amazing mic and a ridiculously stupid boom arm.

I finally decided to try a mic boom arm and chose this one after reviewing and much consideration

The only reason this mic boom breaks - is because those who broke it did everything wrong

It's definitely better than every other mic boom in that regard

I saw the company name and expected a great high quality product

Have to give this one star until some remediation is done for the clamp though, as product is unusable.

not recommend this product if you are using a Samson G Track Pro.

Other than that its a great product would definitely reccomend.

I wouldn't recommend this product to someone with "soft" hands

Out of the box the product looked promising felt great and appeared to be made out of quality materials however, upon installing my Hyper X Quadcast S which is not a very heavy

Good thing I had enough sense not to put my mic on it and try to use it.

This is obviously a Blue product made for such a thing so easy choice

Like seriously, this thing is crazy strong for no reason

Looks and feels like this thing can take a BEATING before breaking.

Like seriously, this thing is crazy strong for no reason

this has so many good reviews, and it makes me think I maybe got a defective one

Like many other reviews might have pointed out, the spring on this thing is a nail buster

Boom, 90% of bad reviews negated by little more than a 4th grade reading skill

The rest 200+ critical reviews here are correct: the spring is too strong

Most negative reviews are due to a strong spring tension but that can be adjusted via a design feature on the arms base.

I'm coming from a cheap $20 scissor

It is great quality and it is better than any cheap scissors stand you could get.

Though, I can't seem to loosen the spring adjustment screw enough to not lift my rode procaster and psm1 shockmount up

The cable that runs through it is simply too short and the adjustable pivot screws can not hold it

When I went to install this I read the directions front to back and proceeded only to have the metal disc come flying off when mounting to a steel desk, the connector piece holding it on is now broken and I had to just use the screw and secure styrofoam around it for now

For you see... on the bottom part of the boom arm lies a screw that will let you loosen the spring, and then let you place the boom where you actually want it

Putting my own screws and gluing everything back but nothing worked

Now, my genuine complaint, and it was relatively minor, was that the screw for the c-clamp to mount the the arm to the desk has a rigid and fixed plastic "T" style handle to crank it down

This design flaw could easily be fixed with either better overall adjustment in the tension of the wire, or by using all metal parts on the joint so you can properly apply the friction required

After installing it I am very happy with it except for one design flaw, which is that the thing you turn to tighten the C clamp is too

I use an Elgato Wave: 3 USB microphone, with the optional shock mount and pop filter

I am using the Blue shock mount and a pop filter in addition to my Blue Yeti microphone

I use this in combination with the Blue Radius III shock mount & an Aokeo pop filter, and both snapped on easily.

n’t work

I have the yeti mounted on an off-brand shock mount and occasionally use a pop filter as well, and I have no issues with tension

Your fingers will hurt and you may think you should use an aid just to get them tightened enough to use

As others have written you have to have strong wrists/hands/fingers to tighten it enough to stay in place

These knobs on the joints are killing my fingers and eventually had to use a wrench

I tightened the joints as hard as I could, and like other reviewers, nearly bruised my fingers with the amount of force necessary

The C-clamp is also deeper than cheaper versions so it really holds well with minimal vibration

While a bit pricey, if you have one of the cheap spring showing versions you should strongly consider upgrading as this thing makes your desk feel like a radio booth

One of the things that's really nice about Blue Compass boom arm is that the C-clamp is much stronger than cheaper versions and fits better over thick desktops (I use a standing desk and the desktop is about 2 inches thick)

Currently it's staying up because of the two monitors supporting it from falling down but the knock off versions that are like 8-
