Another dumb design choice.-Arm sounds like metal on metal when moved and does not stay in place unless there is a certain amount of weight on it
I used this boom arm for a Yeti Blue with a Blue Radius II Microphone Shock Mount for Yeti and Yeti Pro with Improved Hinge Design - Blackout and a [[ASIN
The design makes it easy to keep clean, too, since there are no exposed springs.
The product very well made with an amazing design and worked perfectly with the Yeti Blue mic.
Very well thought out design that is aesthetically pleasant too!!
Bought one of those cheap $10-20 arms at first and didn't like the quality of it along with its exterior tension springs
The overall build quality of the arm seems sturdy though
My guests have also noted the poor quality - very embarassing
From what I can see from the experience of other reviewers, it looks like they have poor quality manufacturing of these products and that about 5% of them have this problem.
Little bit expensive for what it is, instructions were not in depth, no way to lock or adjust arm tension... but solid build quality and great mounting clamp
Holds the weight of the Blue yeti and Radius II shock mount very well.
Because of this, the boomarm arm is freely rotating by it self under the microphone weight around the axis ( very hard to put it in desired position), and middle/ jointed part can be moved +/-
They work great together and support the weight of the Yeti quite well .
and sometimes i hang my headset on it while im afk, it still holds the weight.
I use this arm almost every day, it works great, but does have trouble supporting the weight of a AKG P220.
All in all, Well worth the money if you want a solid boom arm
So before I review this let me say that this is an expensive boom arm
It's a very good mic arm however there are some things about
Other than that this is a great arm and does a wonderful job.
I found cheaper mic arms on-line, and here at Amazon, however, I read a lot of on-line reviews, and saw that this one was the cheapest in price PRO quality arm.
Works as it should and has a great reach over my cluttered desk!
PL-2T Boom Arm, you won't be disappointed.
If I look at the silver piece of metal that sticks out, it looks like there is some brown coloring to it, and the bar grinds on it when moving, causing rough adjusting
I was stoked to finally get away from a standard mic stand; and it worked exactly as I'd hoped for the first several weeks with a Behringer C-1.

I'd say I've had the product for about a year now, and after only a couple months of using it the springs inside started making a loud squeak while adjusting the arm
I have had this product for over a year now and it seems to have held up great other than the fact that when I move the boom, it occasionally creates an annoying squeaking sound that I would not expect from such a highly praised product (the squeak is not due to over-use, it happened from the day it came out of the box.
My new Guitar Center version doesn't have any of the incessant squeaking and only very minimal "grinding" -- totally acceptable
When I loved the NEEWER arm around, it made awful squeaks, pops and you could hear in the recording/microphone that the boom arm was being moved
I drilled it out approx 2 sizes bigger and put a normal screw and a long "nut" that comes with many household lighting/fanfixures for extension (so I had something to grip with pliers).Tightened that down fairly snug now I can move it around a good bit without it becoming loose anymore
It's a bit expensive for a mic arm but it's also the most popular mic
This one blows that out of the water completely and is a good bit bigger as well
It's quite a bit more expensive than similar desk clamp arms on Amazon.
Bit of a tip with the table clamp, use a bit of scrap cloth like a cut up washcloth folded in half
Upon purchase, the boom arm seemed to give off a slight 'Squeak'-ey spring noise which slowly got worse over the course of a week, but completely disappeared within the next after that and is completely silent
Just.... mind the spring noises.....
Worked exactly as I
Just got done re-recording a portion of a podcast 3 times thanks to the loud spring noise coming from this arm
in place...does what it should, well made and strong, highly recommend, gives me no trouble while recording my podcast, The Mantour Guy Podcast.
If you're like me, and have a very limited recording space and need all the floor space you can get, this thing is amazing.
I am a solo acoustic s/s and have a cheap recording studio in my office
I looked around quite a bit and read several reviews and while this was the pricier of the options that I was looking at, based on it's great track record, I went with it
Not only will that ruin the recording, but likely damage the mic element
Not like the old desk light versions where they slowly slide down or you have to tighten them till they break
Worked exactly as I
Do yourself a favor and just skip the cheaper versions.
well I bent the screw in the vice
There are cheap boom arms you can get for about $10, and they can't really hold much weight and didn't work for the Blue Yeti with a shock mount as a cheap alternative (I tried two cheap versions and both failed)
This is the 2nd unit I've received as the first one had a horrible creaking sound from one of the springs when adjusting the upper portion of the arm.
Looking back now, I realize my unit was probably defective and still is, I try not to move the arm at all because of how loud and uncomfortable the sound is and how stiff the motion is
All of these helped improve the quality, but nothing was able to get me the rich sound I was looking for
On top of that It makes a horrible grinding sound which sounds like finger nails being ran across a chalk board
the star I removed, my only issue is a clicking sound upon swinging it up and down, it's very minimal and again only happens when adjusting the
