The worst part of this boom arm is that when I'm recording I constantly get loud spring noises coming from the main joint in the arm

There are no spring noises when moving the arm around, and the mic stays where you put it

Just.... mind the spring noises.....

Just got done re-recording a portion of a podcast 3 times thanks to the loud spring noise coming from this arm

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

Worked exactly as I

well I bent the screw in the vice
