Strong and secure boom arm.
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.
Stand microfono
Costoso e non il massimo della resistenza. Mi tocca usarlo con un microfono di max 300g. Per non farlo inclinare verso terra
I'm using this arm with the Yeti X and I expected the arm to work right out of the box. The arm had trouble staying in place. After some struggling and tweaking, it looks like it is finally staying.. Love the look, feel and the way we can hide the cable, but the adjustment was annoying

Blue's Premium Boom Arm
Blue’s Boom Arm is one the nicest looking boom arms on the market as of right now and it’s made out of quality materials unlike the more inexpensive options. Since this is a fair review of the product I do just want to put a disclaimer that this boom arm isn’t for everyone, or the best option for every mic setup. This arm is mainly for heavier mics and worked really well for my Blue Yeti X.
Pros:
-Standard, sturdy desk mount (clamp)
-Free, almost frictionless design for the swing motion of the arm.
-Has little diagrams on the arm itself in a form of a sticker for basic info
-Matte black paint job
-Feels like they put some premium materials into it
-Tension is highly adjustable.
-Cable management routing system
Cons:
-The cable routing system won’t fit thick cables as it seems very narrow.
-Expensive
-The value for this mic is only achieved for a certain amount of microphones
-Branding on the arm. (Don’t mind it, but I know some people do)
Great.
I really like this boom arm.
I had the Neewer( ok for a tiny mic) too expensive for the quality.
Rode, good, it does what one needs, heavy mics, good.
The Blue Compass, very sturdy, great materials, looks professional, better
cable management and just perfect.

Einfache Höhenverstellung
Nach vier Wochen Nutzung sehr zufrieden! Kann den Mikrofonarm empfehlen.
Strong and supportive, this honestly can hold any microphone setup, its a bit hard to get it how you want but its well worth it. However I do have a 3ft wide desk and I wish this was a bit longe

I love this mount so far, with my Blue yeti pro.

Does the job well and in style. Better reach than most other boom arms. I was looking for a pro looking boom arm for my AKG P220 and was considering the BLUE and the RODE PSA. I liked the pro look of the BLUE, the provision for concealing the XLR cable and the smooth movements with ZERO noise. If you have a desk setup that you can mount this arm on, considering its dimensions and desk space available, just go for it. Sturdy build, nicely heavy - enough to feel good and inspire confidence that it is not going to drop your expensive mic. Will last a whole lifetime.

I use it with my RODE PODMIC. It works awesome, no more dropping boom. internal tension only had to be tweaked a little.

I had multiple spring style booms and this thing blows them out of the water. I have two mounted on my table along a window and they fit flush enough to easily raise and lower the blinds. I am a complete novice and these booms make me feel like a pro.

I really like this microphone boom arm. It's sleek, easy to adjust, and gives options for a bolting the unit to a desk or using the sturdy clamp that comes with it. 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!

Great product, highly recommend if you have the budget to spend it on this arm. It’s sturdy, and moves very fluidly when needed

Excellente qualité, mais...
Au final, il y a toujours un mais, il est excellent, on sent qu’il va tenir dans le temps, par contre, la tension n’est pas excellente et ne permet pas de mettre le micro dans toutes les positions que l’on veut (si le condo est lger.). Le bras aura tendance se dplier, mme avec les bloqueurs fond et la tension au minimum.
Ordered this one to be able to use my blue yeti mic in my studio. It holds nice and tight the yeti, and does not collapse.

Looks great, works great for a couple months, then breaks
EDIT 3/8/21 – updated to 5 star
Blue sent me a replacement unit when I raised the support ticket. It came fast, and I;m happy with their support. I took a little more time to setup the boom arm this time. I adjusted the tention looser so I didnt have to tighten the arm joints as hard. Hoping this helps prevent the plastic parts that I think should be metal, from breaking.
I think if you set this up with the correct tention from the start you will have better luck than I did. Its looking good and working well right now!
Orginal review: I had as 3 stars
I bought a cheaper arm that lasted about a year, then I saw this option directly from Blue (I have a blue Yeti) and thought this would be perfect and high quality. I think the design is great, the engineering and materials is poor and if this hasn’t broken for you yet, it likely will.
I’d save money and look at other options.
Very well made. Found the tension of the arm too high but after some adjustment it isn’t so bad. Manages cables very nicely. Little pricey for what it is but it did well to finish off my stream set up! Happy overall!

Maybe consider the Rhode PSA1 [updated]
This boom arm looks great! If you want to use it for streaming or YouTube it will look great on screen.
The arm itself is made of metal with a nice finish and I love the groove for the cable.
That said, the groove uses small plastic tabs that feel like they could break just opening them and I’m sure if you change the cable a couple of times, they will eventually break off.
This boom arm will do fine, and you will be able to position it, but the way it uses spring tension, it can be very unwieldly! I thought perhaps mine had a defect as in certain positions it would just spring back up and the manual tighteners at each flex point don’t do much.
I use an Audio-technica AT2035 mic which is pretty much the same as the more popular AT2020. I suspect that the arm would fair better with one of Blue’s much bigger and I would assume heavier mics.
There is a screw to adjust the tension, but at the lowest setting the arm still wants to spring back up which is a shame because the damn thing is really beautiful!
–UPDATE–
I got used to how the boom arm works and I upgraded it by one star. I might still consider the PSA1 over it because it is easier to position anywhere from what I found out online, but I feel like the initial tension has subsided a little bit and I have no problems putting the mic where it needs to be with the Blue Compass now. That said, it can feel like a bit of a hassle to understand and setup initially.
Combinazione in uso: BlueYeti Compass + Rode NT/USB
Sono stato titubante a causa di diverse recensioni che indicavano la poca stabilit del braccio nel mantenimento della posizione voluta.
Capisco il motivo per cui tanti si sono trovati male perch il secondo snodo, quello centrale, tende effettivamente a tornare alla posizione originale ma nel mio caso, una volta montato il microfono e stretto lo snodo, il braccio sta l dove l’ho messo. Anche facendolo ruotare a dx/sx per averlo vicino al viso durante le call oppure lontano se non mi serve. Anche in altezza riesco ad adattarlo senza problemi.
Penso che il problema riscontrato da molti possa dipendere molto dal peso del microfono e da quanto ci sia la necessit di cambiargli la posizione durante l’uso.
Lato materiali molto bello e comodo. Lo slot per il cavo perfetto, nascosto completamente. Facile da montare se non il morsetto che da foto mi sembrava poco ingombrante ma purtroppo (come altri supporti che ho) cozza con il mio porta cavi sotto la scrivania che ho dovuto adattare. Sarebbe stato molto meglio uno morsetto con l’asticella mobile cos da fare mezzi giri di volta in volta.
Ad ogni modo una volta montato nessun problema e molto meglio del braccio originale Rode che avevo e che ho restituito tempo fa poich quando lo inclinavo andava a toccare con il “gomito” la parete dietro alla scrivania. Questo della Blue perfetto e non sporge assolutamente.
Quindi, per ora, mi sento di consigliarlo.
Modern und hochwertig verarbeite
Fr mein RODE NT-USB Mikrofon brauchte ich noch einen passenden Boom Arm.
Dieser hier passt hervorragend und ist absolut edel vom Aussehen/Material her,
das rechtfertigt den Preis allemal.
Es knarzt nichts, er hlt seine Position und sieht schn kompakt aus dank der
Kabelfhrung und des einzelnen dicken Arms.
Die Feststellknpfe sind zwar aus Kunststoff, fhlen sich aber nicht billig an.
Das sie berdrehen knnten glaube ich eher nicht, allerdings habe ich das
Glck jetzt auch nicht herausgefordert und beim Festziehen sofort aufgehrt,
wenn der Widerstand zu hoch wurde.
L’ unico difetto il prezzo, molto costoso rispetto alla concorrenza ma ne vale la pena. Non ne faccio un uso professionale ma potrebbe benissimo essere usato in studi di registrazione date le mille possibilit che offre. Le braccia sono fatte di alluminio molto resistente con alle estremit gli snodi in ottima plastica questo dovuto al fatto che possibile o meno stringere o allentare lo snodo per posizionare il tutto come si vuole (non ho avuto problemi di peso con microfoni pesanti come il podmic da 1kg). Molto importante l’altezza del braccio fino al primo snodo che misura precisamente 59 cm (misura presa a partire dal tavolo con braccio in verticale compresa di base) e la lunghezza molto importante di tutto il braccio in orizzontale di 91 cm (fino alla vite del mic). Per agganciare il microfono vi la classica vite con ring (con adattatore gi incluso in confezione) per poter utilizzare qualsiasi tipo di shockmount o microfono si voglia ed bellissima la rifinitura dorata invece del classico argento che molti della concorrenza montano. La morsa per l’aggancio al tavolo ben fatta, ha un pad antiscivolo che assicura una presa salda anche se la vite che va a far pressione sotto il tavolo in ferro non rivestito e mio avviso un po’ piccola.
Ottima chicca il passacavo veramente utilissimo per non avere fili pendolanti o essere costretti ad usare fascette antiestetiche.
Al momento dell’acquisto ero indeciso tra questo e il psa1 della rode ma l’altezza maggiore, il passacavi nascosto e la forma in generale ho preferito spendere qualcosa in pi. Ottimo sconto invece per chi volesse prendere tutto il kit con il microfono blueyeti, un affarone per chi non ha grandi esigenze di audio.
Fantastic quality product. I would buy this again for sure.

Good, but check your mic weigh
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.
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.

Brazo para el micrófono blue yeti
Es un gasto superior a otros brazos que realizan la misma funcin. En mi caso presenta ests caractersticas positivas, que convencen calidad-precio:
-Sujecin a modo de gato. No precisa de agujeros en la mesa.
-Permite configuraciones varias para tener el micrfono al gusto. Ms prctico.
-Muy esttico, en comparacin con los que muestran su mecanismo interno (muelles, etc.) Adems, el cable del micrfono se puede esconder en una pasarela interna del brazo.
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.

Bonne qualité mais réglage de positionnement peu précis
Achet sparment du micro, je trouve que cette perche est un indispensable pour celles et ceux qui ont un setup bien fourni (multi-crans, webcam, …).
De bonne qualit, avec une armature compose de bras mtalliques et de rotules PVC rsistantes, elle s’quilibre relativement bien.
La fixation au bureau est commune ses concurrentes, et les bagues d’ajustement de tension sur chaque rotule ont une bonne ergonomie et son manipulable facilement la vole (pas besoin d’une cl, ou d’un outil quelconque).
A l’utilisation au quotidien, j’y trouve un seul bmol, malgr l’acharnement sur les bagues d’ajustement, vous ne pourrez pas rgler la position du micro l’exactitude de votre envie. Entre l’quilibre du bras, le lger manque de prcision sur les bagues de serrage, il y aura potentiellement un battement de quelques cm entre le choix de votre positionnement et celui pris par la perche. Attention, ce battement se fera ressentir uniquement sur quelques postions bien particulires. Dans la grande majorit vous ne sentirez aucune gne.
MUCH BETTER than the other desk-clamping mic arms out there
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 🙂
Expensive compared to competition but worth i
The design of this product is miles ahead of anything else in the same category. Very please with the practical usage
Sehr wertige und stabile Halterung für Blue-Yeti-Mikrofo

It took a while to set it up because of the particularities of my table. I set up the stand but the arm kept moving horizontally. I could not get the mike to stay were i wanted. Then I realized why. The base was installed on the far side of the table on an extension wing. But because of the weight of a shelf of books on my table the extension had bent a bit under the weight. Just a tiny angle, but enough for the Blue Compass mike to notice. So I had to level the base with folded thick paper and now the boom arm stays exactly where I want it. So, lesson learned. Make sure wherever you place the base of the Blue Compass is level!

I had gotten a cheap $30 boom arm for my desk and it sucked, insta-return.. Finally decided to spend the 'big bucks' to get this thing.. Really great build quality, happy I got it, but the price is stupid. Costs as much as the Yeti mic, makes no sense.

I like this but the tension is strong even if you lower the tension for a lighter mic so youre gonna have a little issue unless you place it somewhere near you on the desk.

So Far So Good, Looks like a Quality Build
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.

Great boom arm! I tried a lesser brand that did not hold up but this one works very well with a basket that you must purchase seperatley. Very happy with it, wish I got it ages ago.

Very well built and sure it would be great for a Yeti. Did not work for my Audio Technica as the mic was too light for the springs.

This is a very expensive boom arm. I bought a cheap one a couple months ago, it worked for about a month but the weight of the blue yeti was just too much for it and it broke, I decided to pay the extra money for this and I don't regret it. Yes it's expensive but at least my mic is safe and everything stays where I want it to stay.

Blue est une marque sure. Vous pouvez y aller.
Les + :
– Il est vraiment beau et fait trs classe sur mon setup
– Il marche super bien avec mon Blue Yeti (petite frayeur au dbut quand je n’arrivais pas le laisser pli… En fait, il ne marche correctement que lorsqu’un poids comme le Blue Yeti est ajout en son extrmit pour le tenir). En bref, si vous comptez brancher un micro plus lger que le Blue Yeti, renseignez vous bien afin de savoir si c’est possible ou non.
– Il est haut (peut passez par dessus un cran sans soucis grce sa base surleve et la taille des deux parties du bras.
– La poigne pour visser est troite (jadis, j’avais un bureau qui empchait de visser un bras de microphone car la poigne tait trop grosse). Ici, pas de soucis, le micro peut tre mis quasiment partout.
Les – :
– Son rapport qualit/prix (il est beau, il est esthtique, il fait le job mais 100 pour ce bras reste excessivement cher). Si vous avez le budget mettre dedans, allez-y mais je pense qu’il vous serait possible de faire de belles conomies pour le mme rendu.
– Sa faible adaptation.
Comme je l’ai dit plus tt, quand il n’y a pas de micros fixs son extrmit, les ressorts du bras le tendent verticalement. Il vous sera impossible de l’utiliser avec des microphones plus lgers comme le Bird UM1 par exemple.
Je ne regrette pas mon achat.
wenn der arm unter (geschtzt) 160 Grad in der Mitte hat, geht der arm nicht runter.
wenn man aber die ganze lnge verwenden mchte ist der arm nichts. (in Benutzung mit Rode PodMic)
durch die untere schraube, und dann durch die seitlichen Leicht! festziehen (sonst knnte es durch abrieb kaputt gehen), bis man die perfekt eingestellt hat, braucht man eine weile.
Kabel lsst sich schn verlegen, sieht clean aus.
Very nice boom arm, good quality, easy to work with but maybe a bit expensive $$$. ;)

Awesome
Upgraded from one of the cheaper Newer arms because it wasn’t holding great and creaked so loud when adjusting.
Aesthetics alone is enough of a reason to purchase this mount.
I use it with the Rode Podmic which is decently heavy and it holds this mic perfectly. It so easily can be swung out of the way when you aren’t using it and when you adjust it to where you like it – it stays.
Only have had it for a week but highly recommend.
Very well built, solid mic stand. Moves effortlessly and stays where it needs to be. Make sure that your mic is heavy enough as it will retract upright if it is too light. Works great with a Yeti X!

I have Custom Van den Hull cables and was not sure if they would fit with this arm, they do!
There are some negative reviews for this arm that I just don’t see with mine, ether people didn’t take the time to adjust it before reviewing. who knows!
Its solid, very well built indeed!
I found that if you tighten up the arm to the point where it only just not straightening up on you then you get a really light to move arm. way better than some of the others I have had.
I have had the innogear arm for $50 is good and longer than this one so say better behind the monitors.
I have had a cheap unbranded arm for $15 and this is by far the lightest thing to move and I still love it.
Getting this blue had to compete with the cheap one I love so much and the innogear that was perfect for keeping the studio clean.
The Blue Compass apart from not being long enough to reach over the monitors it has exceeded my expectations.
It has taken a while to get it adjusted right as I had things over tightened to begin with. now its set right its light to move solid as a rock. and I’m very happy it takes a bit of time to get it set just right.
I am using an Audio Technical AT4047 with mine so not the most heavy mic!
Nothing more than fantastic.
It cost quite a bit so for the home user it may be overkill unless you have the cash and need the look!
if I was not a Streamer then I would not have brought this as the cheap one is amazing in function and really really did the trick with my AT3035.
Je recommande à 1000%
Vraiment le top du top !!! Cher mais tellement efficace je recommande a 100%
I add a microphone arm extensions to my Blue Arms, to get a longer reach and its perfect!

I have very high ceilings and old fashions wiring so this lamp was just what I was looking for.

I had a cheap mic arm previously, and felt like I was constantly battling with the exterior springs and the grinding sound it would make when rotating the whole arm away from me when I needed better visibility of my monitor. With the interior components and sturdiness of this arm, all of these issues have disappeared. It costs a bunch more than the cheap one I previously bought, but would say it's worth every extra penny.

Le top en matière de pied de micro
Clairement je l’adore.
Il est robuste, on peut ajuster et bloquer le bras du micro comme on le souhaite, et il y’a mme une gouttire pour passer le cble du micro. Je le prfre au rode.
Il est toutefois un peu (trop) cher son tarif habituel ..
Great mic stand that spins and bends quite easily. Only complaint is I paired this with the Rode Procaster and it sags when fully extended

I really love the appearance and build quality. It works well enough with a heavy mix like the Blue Yeti mic. The tension adjustment isn’t great though. There are spots where it just won’t stay and it will creep upwards a little.

Fantastic Blue Compass
Blue Compass microphone stand, true value and quality for money and so much better than my last tabletop stand. 5 out of 5. Not the cheapest but certainly the best designed for the money.
This is much better than my previous arm! Quiet, stable, and thick. I’ve read many reviews before buying this one, no complaints except the price. But, if I knew it’s fits perfectly to my sm7b(which is a heavy mic), I would have bought at the first place.
Robuste,esthétique et de qualité
Acheter 86 j’ai sauter sur l’occasion et je ne le regrette pas il respire la solidit et on sent tout de suite qu’on a pas faire de la camelote. Sa fixation est bien orientable et se fixe parfaitement (mme sur un bureau en verre) le bras dispose d’un passe cble plutt bien fait et la fixation pour le micro est standard il me semble je n’ai pas eu de mal y fix mon AudioTechnica AT2020 en tout cas.
Le seul bmol pour moi est son prix par rapport au bras de chez Rode achet quand le prix est en baisse donc.

Brazo robusto y solido
A ver como describo este brazo. He tenido algunos sentimientos desencontrados con este soporte. Primero que es muy fuerte y robusto soporta bien los pesos de los micros que le he puesto. Hay que tener en cuenta que estos brazos no son como los articulados con un muelle, son menos flexibles y no sirven en todas las situaciones. Ademas se mueve mucho hacia un lado por el peso del micro. No se mantiene mucho en su posicion , suele bajar mucho , hay que hacer mucha fuerza en las tuercas laterales para que se mantenga en su sitio y aun asi es dificil que lo mantenga. No he visto tampoco opcion a que se fije directamente en una mesa como otros brazos. En cualquier caso no creo que lo comprara si no fuera por estar en la seccion de Amazon Wharehouse Deals.
The included "C" clamp has too small a jaw opening for tables having a wide edge (4"). I did the work-around with a desk bushing for the arm. Not included with the boom arm, another $24.

Bester Boomarm
Bombenfest sage ich nur hlt seit nem jahr so und man musste nicht mal nachspannen bissher nicht besseres gesehen rate jedem zum kauf der sich ein home studio bauen will sei es fr musik oder streaming oder nur zum unterhalten mit dem mikro dieser arm ist gut fr alle mikros die ich hatte
Great arm for supporting the weight of the Blue Yeti microphone. Keeps it off the desk and out of the way while the ingenious design of the arm makes it easy to reposition your mic when you need to. The ability to adjust the balance to make those adjustments is really cool. A little finicky to set up, but you can find good videos online to assist with the set up. Did I mention it looks really cool as well? Because it does.

Quali et fabrication impeccable
Hyper solide, le cble management au top.
Par contre il rside un peu trop mon got pour la maniabilit, heureusement que mon micro est lourd.
Does what it says it will do...
Simple to use, highly versatile, beautifully made, solid and works perfectly with most microphones. I have a large Shure SM7B; if you have this mic you will also need the Shure A26X extension tube. It will work without it, but mic movement is limited. It looks really cool too.
Okok wish it was a little more compactable lol just made that word but yah so it can go in small place but other than that isss li

I use this for my HyperX Quadcast and its perfect. My only issue is that the tension on it is very high but I feel that over time it will adjust perfectly. The price is a bit high but it was well worth it. I used to use a cheap Newer brand mic arm and the upgrade is worth it. It makes nearly no sound when moving it too.

Nikel passe correctement au dessus de mes cran du coup je peux le fixer derrire eux avec les pieds qui supporte dj mes trois screen et avec un bureau d’un profondeur de 90 cm le micro arrive juste devant moi c’est juste OP du coup rien n’a redire si ce n’est que le vritable prix neuf est de 109euros et pas 129 moi je l’ai chop a 109 avec une promo mais si vous vous renseigner bien vous verrez que vous pouvez le chop a 109 aprs a vous de voir.

1A Studio Mikrofon Halter mit integrierter Kabelführung
Da ich eine Halterung bentigte mit der es mglich ist selbst von der Montage hinter meinen Bildschirmen ohne Probleme an das entsprechende Mikrofon zu kommen und dennoch weiterhin die vollen Freiheiten mit nutzen kann habe ich mich fr diese entschieden.
Durch die kompakte Bauform und der sehr stabilen Tischhalterung ist kein wackeln auf dem Tisch selbst mglich, die Halterung fr nur einfach auf das Tischmodul gesteckt und schon kann man direkt sein Mikrofon montieren.
Da ich das Suhre SM7B verwende musste es eine Halterung sein die auch schwerere Mikrofone aushalten kann, auch hier wieder gar kein Problem.
Durch die Kabelclips ist es zudem mglich das XLR-Kabel innerhalb der Halterung zu verstecken wodurch es nur am oberen und unteren Teil der Halterung sichtbar ist.
Ist kann daher die Halterung nur wrmstens weiterempfehlen!
ès bon produi
s bon produit cependant attention si le micro trop lg le bras ne va pas se rgler correcteme
Easy to setup, clean look and well balanced. just works!

I am still amazed at how much real estate this product has provided me since installation. I would never go back to a crappy boom again.

A great-looking arm.
I have my Blue Yeti X on the SUNMON shock mount here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B085ZT69PQ
It works great. Every joint can have its tension adjusted, and I would guess that the problems that people describe with it is because they didn’t fiddle with it enough. You should be careful with the setup until you get everything adjusted because the arm will naturally snap to straight.
The joint right where the shock mount is installed doesn’t seem to have enough tension to allow much deviation from vertical, but it’s enough for my setup. The shock mount also can’t be made to swivel side-to-side on that joint because that will just screw/unscrew it. However, you can tighten it so that part stays fixed in one position if you don’t need to change it often. The other two joints move very nicely and stay firmly in place.
Great pro mic arm for the money. However, the spring tension is rather high so if you don’t have a heavy mic it won’t stay bent.
My solution was to take it apart and add a link between the spring and the swaged cable in the lower arm section to relieve some of the tension. It’s easy to take apart just make note that the tension bolts have a circlip on the ends so gently pry the caps off to reveal them and remove the lower tension adjuster screw. After that I cut the heatshrink just enough to pull it back. Put it all back together and now it’s perfect. Would be even better if they offered a couple of different tension springs to you could really adjust it to your liking.
It used to be the Rode PSA-1 was the best boom arm around. But now this is it. I got it for 139$ and that's about how much it's worth... If you see it for more, it's a scam. It's nice not to see the springs. On the bad sides, the joint tightness handles seem a bit flimsy and there isn't one for the base swivel. The cable management is nice but it feels like the little clasps would break after a bunch of uses. It's very stable once setup and can hold the Yeti and the AT-2020. Comes with a handy 3/8 to 5/8" adapter.

Definitely worth the purchase. I purchased numerous other mic stands but this has to be the sturdiest one. Others would occasionally not hold weight well, but the blue compass is sturdy af.

With the Yeti X being a bit heavy I wanted a boom arm that would not move much. The material quality is excellent and you can tuck in your unsightly mic wiring as advertised. It can be loosened to some extent, but if you need a boom arm that moves "very freely" then get the RODE PSA.

Overall positive, price could be better, some issues with the desk clamp
You’re buying the official Yeti Microphone arm so the fit is solid. Installation was simple, you attach the base to your desk and drop the arm into the base…nice little channel for cables.
WARNING: The screw used to fasten the clamp to your desk is very soft. On my 1st attempt to adjust the desk clamp, I stripped the retainer clip from fastening screw. Upon closer inspection, the retainer clip bent the end off the screw (It’s very very thin…maybe less than .02 inches of material there) Once this piece breaks off, you’ll never get the retainer clip back on. Luckily it’s not really needed once the clamp is in place, but for the price you’re paying it’s a bit of a bummer.
Also: The package only contains the desk clamp mount…if you want to drill a mount into your desk, you’ll have to buy that separately from Blue.
The things I love about this mic boom arm: can mount the clamp between my wall and the end of my desk with almost no gap, due to the design of the clamp and base. Still able to rotate the arm without bumping the wall. Gorgeous – satin finish, cable management, hidden springs. Totally silent.
By tightening the screw at the bottom (see instructions) I was able to adjust the tension so that my Samson C01U mic and shockmount were at “neutral”, that is, the mount neither sagged nor rose on its own. That was the desired state but after an hour or two, there was a click and the whole arm sagged to horizontal. Nothing I could do after that would get the arm to hold an upright position from the bottom joint. Sad to have to return this beauty.
One other thing – I had to buy an extender tube because my pop filter didn’t fit around the chunky boom frame.
This was fine with me but something you may want to keep in mind. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0006NMSWO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Auf den zweiten Blick exzelle
Den ersten Ausleger-Arm hatte ich zurckgeschickt, weil er sicht – auf den ersten Blick – gar nicht einstellen lsst und sich die Gelenke nicht vernnftig einstellen lassen. Tatschlich funktioniert aber alles groartig, wenn man das schwere Yeti X anschraubt. Gut, dass ich das nocht gemacht habe, bevor ich alles zurck geschickt habe 🙂
So wurde auf den zweiten Blick alles gut, ein hervorragendes Gelenk.
Great product. My mic was a little heavier then the recommended and it's still holding it up fine.

Very nice upgrade
I upgraded to this from a much cheaper and less quality mount. Was very happy with its studyness and the cable track manageme
Holds the mic perfectly still, no slowly moving away from you
Tried a few arms, this one holds my mic steady, and repsonds well when I reposition it, and unlike other arms the mic does not drift (moved on its own)
Der hübscheste Mikrofonarm
Nutze den Arm beim Livestreaming und wollte etwas hbscheres, als den Standardarm PS1A von Rode. Dieser hier von BLUE sieht in der Cam einfach elegant aus, die Kabelfhrung ist super und der Arm selbst macht einen sehr robusten Eindruck. Mittels 3 Kunststoffschrauben kann man die Strke/Stabilitt einstellen. Bei mir werden Problemlos die schweren Mikrofone Rode Procaster und Sure SM7B gehalten.
Plastic seems to damage easy and the arm seems to want to straight itself out regardless of how much I loosen the tension on it. Very smooth arm the rotation feels great when moving it side to side.
