    Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Broadcast Boom Arm

    • This thing is trash
    • Their microphones are probably one of the best things they make but their Compass Boom Arm is utter trash
    • but I'm sure you could use it in your car's suspension to great result because this thing is resilient
    • Sadly, this sort of defect ruins the whole thing
    • This thing is a disaster right out of the box
    • Aside from this lower hinge constantly failing, this thing is very nice indeed
    • Looks and feels like this thing can take a BEATING before breaking.
    • Another thing about that, I don't recommend bending the boom arm while it is mounted, which can be a little frustrating in terms of positioning
    • It looks great but the damn thing won’t stay in place
    • I would 100% recommend this thing.
    • I'll start with the one good thing about this boom arm
    • The spring they used is way too strong and there is no way to tension the thing to actually stay where you want it
    • It's really big, which is a good thing for some people, but for the average WFH'er, it gets in the way
    • I hate this thing
    • However, ot tends to creep up and down a lot and the weight is the only resistance in rotating from the base, so if you bump it, things get knocked off your desk
    • At less than $100, this thing is a bargain and value by any definition.
    • Like seriously, this thing is crazy strong for no reason
    • I took the thing off of the table to inspect it and i nearly hurt myself trying to separate the clamp from the boom
    • I absolutely hate this thing ive used it for a year
    • This thing is built like a tank
    • But this thing is just bad
    • This thing is more like a medieval catapult than a boom arm
    • Like seriously, this thing is crazy strong for no reason
    • I love this thing and it works fantastically
    • I love this thing and it works fantastically
    • I would this thing is the absolute biggest waste of money ever I’ve had it 3 maybe 4 days since the first time out of the box it wouldn’t tighten enough to hold the microphone at the angle I needed I messed with the wire inside tension I
    • This thing has been a pain in the genitals in regards to positioning.
    • This is awesome the only thing I was dissatisfied with was you have to buy the in desk mount separate.
    • This thing is absolute garbage
    • I ended up breaking the thing by mistake while trying to stop if from moving
    • Wrong, thing springs
    • This is obviously a Blue product made for such a thing so easy choice
    • Aside from this lower hinge constantly failing, this thing is very nice indeed
    • It is impossible to get this damn thing to stay in one position no matter how much you tighten the adjustment screws
    • This could be a good purchase for a very heavy microphone like a Yeti, but be advised that once looking at the internals I'm amazed this thing didn't break sooner
    • I kept having to turn the damn thing to hold my mic down
    • The thing looks sexy but needs some serious help in the engineering department
    • The waste of money is one thing, the time, effort and frustration is even worse.
    • I tightened it beyond what I thought was possible without breaking the damn thing, and the boom arm still extends and raises up.
    • worst f-ing thing ive ever laid my eyes on
    • (this is a good thing)2
    • This thing is SOLID!
    • set!Another Great thing is that there is a built in cable management channel along the top to keep your cables clean and neat
    • The damn thing almost popped me in the mouth
    • Other than that, this thing works fine.
    • One thing, the articulation points are very stubborn, if you go to the gym it probably won't be an issue for you, but if you don't get out much it could be hard to bend it into the place you need
    • Good thing I had enough sense not to put my mic on it and try to use it.
    • This would allow these things to be mounted upside down and hang from a shelf
    • Then, since I bought this stupid thing, I
    • This thing is obviously built really well, feels incredibly sturdy and I loved the sleek look of it immediately after unboxing
    • Unless you have a blue microphone that weighs 15 god damn pounds this thing isnt going to work with your microphone
    • The only thing positive about it is the looks.
    • This thing has been a complete pain in my butt since the day I bought it
    • This thing had some much tension in
    • 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
    • n’t work
