Don’t do what I did, or this Gator boom stand will cost you anywhere from $19-35 more (because of the mistake you made in purchasing a different boom stand, such as the “Aokeo Mic Stand Arm Boom”, that claimed to support the blue Yeti specifically and 3.3# generically). The other boom stand worked for 2 weeks, and then collapsed. Nothing that’s readily adjustable, etc.
HOWEVER, This baby– the Gator boom stand– has adjustable bend points that you can easily tighten, or loosen. It supports over 4#, which allows it to easily support my Blue Yeti Pro with isolation ring, pop filter, and 5-pin stereo XLR cable). Although $99 is a lot– it’s less than $99 + the other boom stand you buy that fails. Worth it in my opinion.
Initially i saw a lot of people using these articulating arms and i thought, they look GREAT, i want one!! once i got this product i found out why its more than just a pretty face. its solid, well built, evenly balanced and a smooth moving apparatus. and the investment will last you far into the end of your pod cast, streamer life. So yes, its pretty, looks professional, but underneath its attractive exterior is a SOLID super hero of a mic stand.
My single complaint is the price but I guess that’s the price you pay these days for something that’s actually gonna last.
Implemented XLR cable into boom stand could cause a lot of headache if it got damaged. Keep it in mind. Lastly, small con, screaming brand’s names along side of a boom stand.
The reason I even ordered this in the first place was because of the one-day shipping (lol) I didnt even care about what stand I was getting. After I ordered it I started reading the reviews (10/10 decision making) and I saw way too many that were bad so I was really nervous about this.
Right now, it’s hooked up to my desk and everything. It moves around fine, sits fine, and is just a pretty decent mic stand that is capable of holding my Shure SM7B. I’m not sure if this mic stand is worth its price though. I think you could get a better bang for your buck elsewhere but it definitely gets the job done. I think it’s a 25/75 of wether or not you get a defective stand or not. But yeah it seems good enough to me.
Ill update if anything breaks
Ce produit est de trs bonne qualit, le cble xlr gliss dedans est vraiment pratique est esthtique, le bas respire la solidit je recommande vivement.
Honestly, was rather skeptical about dropping so much money on a boom arm. But after much internal debate, I decided to purchase it. Overall, I don’t have many cons about the arm just that if you like to move it a lot, it tends to un-clamp from the desk. Which makes sense if you move the damn thing A LOT. One night I was gaming and I was moving it around and the entire thing just slides right off the desk like a.. well you get the point. It scared the crap out of me. Other than that, I really like the product. Hopefully, it won’t be squeaking in 9 months.
There are several reviews trashing this one, and maybe they got a defective unit. Or maybe they are some kind of super professional or something who notices tedious things. This thing is great for my needs. It’s quiet, it’s sturdy, it looks nice. I like the built in cable although it would be nice for it to be accessible and replaceable. As for the bad reviews, I don’t really believe you are going to get a noticeable cut in sound quality from this cable compared to any other cable. I don’t really fall for all that “monster cable” scandalous nonsense. But if this one were damaged it would be nice to be able to stick a new one in without buying a whole new boom.
No estaba seguro si pedir esta serie o la siguiente; finalmente puedo decir que en calidad precio es el mejor sin duda. Me fascina su movimiento y su firmeza. Recomendado
J’adore ce pied, je l’ai achet pour y fixer un Micro Sure special podcast pour mes cours de piano et chant et mes concerts et interviews en live stream, et cela a chang ma vie et mon experience en terme d’organisation, de gain de place, de precision sonore. Top!
My microphone is pretty heavy and this are holds it well.
Works very well, there is a xlr on the inside so it looks clean and is very convenient. Great purchase!
I like the build quality and the motion range, very sturdy. Happy with the product.
PROS
– very well build
– very sturdy
– no problem handling heavy mics like the sm7b
– comes 2 diff mounting options
– the clamp mount can mount 2 separate ways – vertical & horizontal
CONS
– Expensive
– very expensive
– compare to my previous boom arm, the thronmax cost about $99, this is very very expensive!
Quite happy with this boom stand. I used a Shure extension for my MV7 microphone. So far it has been very solid. My only thing is that the microphone cannot turn left-right, once it’s tightened. The arm can swing but hard to turn the mic L-R.
I used to use a cheap boom arm with external springs. It was quite light, and the connections were poor quality.
I did some research (mostly YouTube reviews) and the Gator Frameworks boom arm looked like the one for me.
It is far superior to my original cheap boom. It’s longer, quieter, sturdier and looks better. It has an integrated XLR cable, which is great because I was about to spend 20 on another cable.
It comes with 2 desk mounts – one is a C clamp, that’s the one I’m using, and it’s very solid. The other is circular mount that screws into the desktop – long screws are provided. I haven’t used it but I’m assuming the quality is as good as the rest of the kit.
Overall, this is a high quality mic boom arm, well worth the money in my opinion.
I like the stand, it works well and is precisely what I was looking for. Good product. The only issue I have is that the box I received was beaten up and everything inside was poorly repackaged.
Liked that it is a strong frame and the layers of storing books etc
Very good at keeping shape, takes a little time to get some smooth movement. 100% worth.
The Gator FrameWorks mic boom arm is WICKED. Aesthetically & ergonomically spot on.
You’ll find a tad more range of motion on a Blue Compass or Sontronics, but this thing ROCKS!!!
The XLR (nice & long/) routing inside the arm is a really nice touch, normally reserved for MICA YellowTecs (pricey)… The ONLY mic arm I’m after next, is the low profile OC WHITE beauties. But this Gator FrameWorks is DEFINITELY worth 120 which is exactly what I paid for it. Came from ‘Merica in 6 days – RAPID. I’m super happy.
It looks great as well.
After buying one for myself I ended up buying two more for my guest as well since this mount is the best way to fix the issue of people talking to far away from the mic.
A bit pricey but one of those items you buy only once.
This is a great product very sturdy very durable very good for my use a very good produc
El brazo tiene muy buenos materiales solo que en partes estaba maltratado, tambien otro inconveniente era que en la parte del uso ya que no es tan flexible como lo describe y como yo muevo el micrfono no es muy cmodo como es rigido al moverlo se siente que se esta forzando prefiero otros tipos de brazo para la comodidad ya que este me gusto por el aspecto y su reduccion de espacio.
his is a beast of a mic stand with such a clean look as the cable is pre-assembled inside the arm. glad i splurged
Bought this as a replacement to a pathetic mic stand I had prior. It was quick to setup and added so much legitimacy to my Podcasting Workflow. I love it and highly recommend it.
Love this. I bought 3 to connect with my Shure Microphones, it’s easy to connect and the integrated cable is super long (maybe even too long). The tension is perfect and adjustable, plus it can easily be permanently installed to a the surface of a desk (no need for the clamp)
Excelente calidad. Es rgido y estable. Estticamente es perfecto. Tiene un aspecto totalmente profesional.
Es muy bueno solo le falta tener un poco de mas movilidad
Sturdy as heck. 200$ for a product that works as intended no questions asked. Unlike similar products that claim to hold up heavier mics for 120 really don’t like the color blue to much
Really good robust mic stand, if its a permanent fixture then you can screw the base onto your desk which gives it that 100% sturdy feel
It’s perfect!
Doesn’t hurt the microphone when you move it.
You can adapt however you want when you play your assignment/Game
Cons
Just buy a separate stand, it should fix it moving.
Can’t recommend this enough – this thing is rock solid and super adustable. More importantly the swivel action is smooth.
Es un producto muy rigido, puede parecer muy duro de manipular, pero su mayor caracteristica es ser rigido y estable para no estarlo moviendo todo el tiempo.
The arm doesn’t come with a universal shock mount like other cheaper options out there which was a real bummer, so make sure you do your research when you purchase your specific shock mount for your particular microphone. Other than that, this beautiful, strong Microphone Arm is really practical for anyone’s set up. Looks especially good on camera. Moving and adjusting the arm by twisting the knobs is NOT as “annoying” or “time consuming” some other reviewers are making it out to be. All in all I had a great experience and will be purchasing several more for my podcast. They even sell a bag that holds six or so mic arms in the bag separately on Amazon.
Pretty strong and easy to set up. Recommend since it’s the cheapest with good quality.
This is a set it and forget it type, not a easy swivel type.
When it comes to these desk mic booms it’s worth it to just spend the money and get a good one. I’ve gone through a couple of the cheaper ones and have regretting every one of them. I’ve had this one for a month or so now and use it almost every day. No problems to report.
i really dig my mic stand, stands out from other brands because of its looks
What I don’t like: Integrated cable, functional but would love an option to switch it out. Difficult to unscrew the mic mount if you don’t back out the black inner adjustment ring a bit BEFORE installing it. Stand grips the desk well enough if you adjust the swivel tension so it can move freely but stay put. If that top swivel clamp knob is too tight the stand will wiggle free from the desk eventually from moving the arm position.
TLDR: I Love this stand and I’d buy it again. It works well and looks great on camera. Easy to overlook the negatives, as proper handling and adjustment makes it a perfect stand.
The perfect stand I was looking for to pair with my Shure SM7B! Very sturdy!
Easy to move into position. Comes fully assembled and ready to clamp onto your desk, or they have a very nice desktop mount I opted to use instead. It came with some very nice coarse thread screws to securely attach it to a desk.
The xlr cable included seems very good quality, metal end connectors. The knobs can be secured down firmly to keep it in one place, or left semi tight so you can move it around more easily if you actively move your mic around while using it.
The sound isolation from my desk noise is very good! Coming from a traditional desktop mic stand, I used to be able to hear every click of the mouse and keyboard stroke. Not anymore!
My only complaint with the boom arm is the final adjustment point that the mic attaches to. I wish it adjust the opposite direction it currently does. It looks possible to flip it around but I’m not sure if i want to try because it functions well enough as is.
Overall I love how safe my microphone feels when on the stand and would absolutely recommend this to anyone needing a boom arm.
Worth the money. I used to hook my Shure sm7b microphone
This Mic arm is the best one I’ve had yet. It’s super sturdy very flexible as well you can put it anyway you want. 10/10 do buy this arm. The price is a perfect fit!
Excelente material y calidad, pero solo recomendado si no vas a estar cambiando constantemente su posicin o si no vas a llevarlo a varias partes.
I used to essentially collapse my scissor mount back near the base when I wasn’t using my mic, now I lift this stand up above my monitor. both options are out of the way but the scissor mount took up less space with the instant move out of the way vs the gator arm which requires you to either mess with the knobs for 45s or just move it slightly out of the way or up high in the air.
overall, product is silent, holds my mic well, the cable doesn’t produce any noticeable noise when compared directly to my more expensive cables, and looks nice (in my opinion). That being said, personally I probably would go with a scissor mount over this for pure convenience sake.
It’s so nice to have a polished setup for corporate zoom chats or discord with your mates or catching up with your mum. Very nice.
Got this mic stand for causal gaming and it works great. There were no instructions included in the box which wasn’t a problem for me because I had prior knowledge of this kinda stuff but it would be nice for someone who didn’t.
I am upgrading form a scissor style mount (not sure on the name). This boom arm is super quiet and solid. The clamp holds tight and there are plenty of locking positions. I change positions often while podcasting and wish this was a little easier to position while live. The arm attached to the mic is the same size if not a hair longer than the arm attached to desk which doesn’t let me stow away easily with the mic attached. This came with a table top mount and hardware too. I was so happy to not have to buy another attachment to use this arm in different locations. And finally the integrated XLR cable is so clean looking!
Pros:
Professional Looking
Sturdy
Lockable
Multiple mounting positions
Integrated 10′ XLR
Holds all my mics in all positions (SM7b, SM58, Rode Podcast mics)
Cons:
Lockable arms from only one side
Middle joint is stiffer than base joint so it is a little awkward to reposition live with one hand
I was looking for a pro arm and came across this on JRE. When I saw the price ($125) I couldn’t pass it up.
I love this mount! It is very sturdy and feels like a good quality product. Would 100% recommend
If you want to have a detailed view and look at this boom arm, then watch my video 🙂
I recommend for anyone who wants to look professional.
Comme support microphone professionnel. 100% satisfait, rpond parfaitement bien aux besoins et aux attentes
The XLR cable is kinda crap, though. The female jack (the one that plugs into your microphone) wiggles too much and can cut out on active mic’s which causes loud popping. No good. Replaced it with a better one. If youre not willing to unscrew everything and do some soldering, just twist-tie a new cable to it. Maybe just unsolder and replace the female XLR with a quality (snug fitting) jack? That would allow you to keep the internal cable (which seemed fine) intact.
Very solid boom stand. I know this may sound obvious but just be care not to place your palm on the middle hinge when articulating the arm upwards – that can hurt a bit, trust me.
I bought it for my new home studio set up and I love it. The cables are hidden which is a big plus, it is not the cheapest one but worth every penny.
Even better is the fact that the clamp-on base is very sturdy and durable. There’s also a screw-on base for more permanent installations. The boom arm is solidly made and I expect it will last quite a while.
