Amazon Basics Adjustable Microphone Stand, Pop Filter, Windscreen, for Blue Yeti, Snowball, Shure, Audio-Technica, other Mics, 14 inch

Amazing

It's not too stable. Build quality isn't amazing. I worry just the tiniest amount about it falling over but it works fine. It clamps well to my desk. It has enough maneuverability to get my mic where I want it. You know you're not buying the best option but it works just fine.

This is well made, the table clamp is actually metal which was a good thing, everything was fine except on the pop filter, not only was it constantly coming loose from the mounting clip, the length of the goose-neck is about 30% too long. Gravity does the rest. No matter how I configured it the weight of the pop filter would constantly allow the pop filter to droop after a few hours and it would never stay in one place. Lucky for me my isolation mount had a few mounting options and extra screw holes and I was able to permanently mount the goose-neck with a couple of rubberized clamps from a local hardware store and everything stays where I put it now. If the goose-neck was not quite so long it would be a bit stiffer and would still reach any mic in any type of mount. I own dozens of microphones for live sound, bands and orchestra work and studio recording so I have a lot of options. At this price you cant beat it but you may have to come up with your own solution for the pop filter. The clamp it comes with considering the goose-neck screws into it, is a bit thin and over time that could also be an issue. If you are setting up for the same mic every day finding a more permanent solution should not be that hard. A couple well placed rubberized steel clamps will work great even mounted to the stand pivot screws. Just don't expect the pop filter to stay where you put it as it comes in the box properly assembled. No matter if you hang it from above or mount it from below it will keep moving.

I'm the host of a top-500 podcast and when people see my setup through the webcam, they are always blown away by how professional it looks. When I tell them it is really all just an inexpensive Amazon mic stand and arm, they are shocked! I've sold a ton of these just from people seeing how great it looks. Quality is great, they last for years and I just can't imagine buying another brand.

I use to to support a CPAP hose which can swing out while in use or away during the day.The clamp on the base is better than a more expensive versions.The last joint (for the mic itself) is a bit weak, but the arm itself is able to be put out far enough to make that a minor concern.The metal arms are very thin and I suspect if I needed to change the angles often it may break before too long, but the swivel looks like it will last for years. (I hope).

Maybe I misunderstood what heavy-duty was. It seems to not withstand the weight of my AKG P220 mic, and the stand falls off my desk quite often. I think I finally have it in a spot where that won't happen anymore, but after using it for several weeks now, I'd probably get a different one the next time. It does work, but not for heavy microphones.

Requires Over 50+ CM of space away from any wall in order to function. The whole point of a microphone arm is to save space, but the extreme angle makes it impossible to put near any wall. Even if you mount it to the middle or front of your desk instead what do you get in return. You get an pointy angle half the size of a dinner table that you need to avoid, in exchange to extend your microphone in front of you for not even half of the length.

The media could not be loaded. Whenever possible I choose Amazon Basics mainly because you get great value for your dollar, and up to this point, they have not failed me. There way better quality microphone desk arms out there, but they are over priced. When buying items like this I way in on what it is that I need it to do and then I place a value on it. This microphone desk arm is not the sexiest but it does exactly what I needed without breaking the bank.
