    Franchement, c’est l’un des bras de micro le plus cher, MAIS ! Il est incroyable, a n’a rien avoir un bras de micro “classique” comme neewer.

    It’s sturdy, good quality. Just mind to unscrew the bottom bolt so you can adjust it, no instructions about it on the manual

    Entspricht genau meiner Vorstellung – durch die Einstellschraube kann man die Federstrke anpassen und damit auf das Gewicht von dem Mikrofon. Dazu ein einfaches, aber effektives Kabelmanagement und in sich stimmiges Aussehen bei guter Verarbeitung. Wer in Sachen Qualitt noch eine Stufe rauflegen mchte, der wird z.B. bei Yellowtec fndig, wird dann aber preislich mit Faktor 3+ rechnen mssen.

    Acheter rcemment avec le Blue Yeti X et le support “Radius III” pas prsent sur la photo, je trouve ce bras de trs trs bonne qualit mais quand mme vraiment chre pour un bras micro de ce type… de plus il faut rajouter 70 euros pour le support car sinon vos interlocuteurs peuvent entendre quelques vibrations lorsque vous crivez sur votre clavier…

    Très bon bras mais un peu chère

    Bit of an expensive offering, took a little fiddling to get the tension settings just right, but now it’s all correct its a rather pleasant boom to use.

    J’ai dcider d’investir dans plus qu’un bras articul 30 trop faiblard ou qui casse au bout de 3 mois, je me suis donc diriger vers Blue, cette marque de microphones entre autres.
    Et je en suis pas du du tout, la qualit est au rendez vous ainsi que la solidit. Extrmement facile mettre en place, ce bras permet de mouvoir facilement son micro.
    C’est vrai que a peut paratre cher juste pour un bras articul mais c’est amorti par la qualit et la robustesse de ce produit. De plus il possde un “cache cble” vraiment pratique !
    Je recommande fortement ce produit !

    Being designed specifically for the Yeti, it’s pretty much the best arm you can get for it.

    I use it with a Shure PGA181 which isn’t a featherweight by any means but isn’t as heavy as a Yeti. Zip-tied a sway bar drop block (lol) to it in order to have it stay in place. Works great now, but out of the box that spring tension adjuster seriously needs a redesign.

    Il miglior braccio per microfono in circolazione, costruito con materiali ottimi. Caratteristica fondamentale la possibilit di poter passare il cavo dentro guide presenti. Il prezzo alto rispetto alla concorrenza ma ne vale assolutamente la pena perch il livello superiore alla media.

    Very gd quality. Design is beautiful. Please read the installation booklet when you install. You need to add in the microphone and uses it’s weight to make the angle lower. If not it will be higher and you will think it is a design flaw. Take note.

    This works perfectly for me and the SM7B. After playing with tension knobs I can pretty much move the arm however I want without issue. Very happy with this, and really like how you can run the mic cable through the arm for a clean look.

    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.

    Excellent for my Yeti

    It was initially a bit too strong for my audio technica mic, but eventually got loose enough to hold the mic without moving up. No problems so far aside from the tiny issue with the strength level.

    I had a double arm cantilever type mount and it just didn’t do the job. After mounting the Blue boom arm, my mic is capably supported, spins easily out of the way when not needed, and is in no danger of falling off my desk. I am very happy with this boom. Thank you Blue!

    Solides Teil erfllt seine Funktion. Die Gelenke muss man von Hand ziemlich fest ziehen, was relativ anstrengend ist und wenn man den Arm ruckartig bewegt, bigt sich die am Tisch befestigte Base etwas, was ungesund aussieht, aber im groen und ganzen ein solides Teil mit Kaufempfehlung.

    Holding my Blue Yeti mic with no problems at all. Looks slick, and holds the wire too.

    I love it. It’s a great sturdy stand and I like that you can clip down the wire inside the tube. The stand has some flex to it, but it you have a heavier mix the balance is great.

    Look the arm works great is clean and does not include a cable. The cons of this arm is that it only bends in certain directions and requires a pretty weighty mic to make sure it stays down. Last thing is that some of the knobs are plastic. I would buy it again, but it is not for everybody.

    This is by far the best constructed broadcast mic arm on the market today. Solid construction. Feels sturdy. Doesn’t have wiggly parts (like the Gator Frameworks arm does). This is what a $100 broadcast mic arm SHOULD feel like.

    High quality fonish and materials, but, as has been commented on elsewhere, if you have anything other than a very heavy microphone, the tension in the arm will make it very difficult to use. My Blue Yeti Nano is right on the borderline of being too light to effectively use the mic arm. Even with adjusting the tension to the minimum it’s always just on the edge of moving upwards just when you don’t want it to. Such a shame because it looks beautiful and is made of quality materials.

    After 4 months of light use. The head bracket kept coming loose. After having to tighten it multiple times a day, the adjustment knob (which is plastic) stripped off the bolt inside. I glued it back on and it seemed to fix the problem for a few days; until the actual plastic mount that connects to the Mic itself, broke off randomly. The product itself is great! I just wish they made the whole thing metal. Not just the arm itself; that would have prevented this incident and saved me another $130 to replace i

    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.

    Strong and secure boom arm.

It has a long reach and a 360 degree swivel so it’s easy to pull close or move out of the way when not in use. This thing is a functional piece of art!

    This boom arm is great for my blue yeti. It works exactly as advertised, and is really solid construction. My only qualm is that I wish there was a “storage” setting to collapse the arm when I’m not using it. Everything is internal, so there’s no springs or anything to accidentally squish your cords. Even works with off brand shock mounts. Really happy with my purchase. It’s a bit expensive, but considering the expense of the mic itself, it’s a worthy investment.

    Make sure your microphone fits the weight requirements. In my case, I did attach an AT2020 (lighweight microphone) to the arm. In fact, even at the lowest tension, the microphone is still pulled up and therefore I cannot use that arm.

    In general, I could say the arm is pretty strong, made of good materials and has a good stand base. However, you definitely need to check if your microphone has approximatively the same weight as the Blue Yeti, because is arm is built for this microphone.

    In conclusion, 5 stars because it is well made, minus one star because it doesn’t support my AT2020 microphone.

    Truly professional, for functionality and for views of other when they look at the way you speak! Don’t forget to also purchase the Shockmount, it will reduce the noise when touching the table or the boom accidentally, Yeti mic is very sensitive, it can even pick up the sound from your keyboard when typing.

    Man, I’ve been so frustrated with my other desk-clamp mic arm —shaky, loosening bolts, hard to move around.

    This bad boy, on the other hand, does NOT disappoint. It’s incredibly sturdy yet flexible, moves smoothly, and balances the weight of the mic perfectly (Rode NT1-A)

    SPEND THE $100 AND THANK YOURSELF LATER 🙂

    Took me some time to figure out how to release / adjust the tightness of the arm (joints). After that, it is quite a good experience so far. I am a broadcaster and this Blue arm at home may not 100% replicate my experience in radio stations but it is definitely not average. I would give it an 85% mark for now.

    Would I recommend it to someone? Yes.
