InnoGear Microphone Stand Mic Boom Arm Windscreen Pop Filter, Medium

day 1: just arrived, just set it up. works exactly as i needed it to, no issues so far (as far as i can tell) holds up great, feels sturdy and of decent quality materials. doubt ill manage to break it for a few months at least. gg good buy. Edit: It's a good thing I had that acoustic foam that's "Thick and soft enough to lower impact force and protect microphones when dropping to the ground" ...... It is now a little over a year later and it broke. I was asleep, and heard a loud crash of my mic and the boom arm hitting my desk. one of the pieces on the boom arm snapped while nobody was even touching it. Upon further inspection, the spot where it is faulty and broke is thin and after seeing it now, I can tell how cheap this product is and that it was going to break eventually anyways, because the connection point is so thin and small for one of the most load bearing parts of the boom arm, I am surprised it didn't break sooner. For reference, this boom arm rarely gets moved around, and usually just stays in the same place hovering over my desk, and simply has a Blue Yeti on it. I guess I flubbed my original review when I said it "feels sturdy and of decent quality materials" because looking at the metal along the break, it looks like cheap thin metal just folded into a square rod so it wont bend. It may feel sturdy at first, but the connection points clearly can't hold up to time, even at minimal movement of the boom arm. Updated review (leaving old review up for information purposes): The Company Offered to replace the product, and the replacement seems to hold weight as well as I expect a mic stand to. Will update if anything ever happens to it.

6 years later and it still is standing, and holds tight positioning still. Very good stand

I read over dozens of reviews before I purchased. There are a few things to note before you buy. - If you own a Blue microphone, you may have problems. This is found in a large amount of reviews. However, this did not apply to me. - I do not doubt this is a repurposed desk lamp arm. I knew it was going to be smaller than the large arms people see streamers using. The total arm length, from base to mic connector, is roughly 29". This is fine with me as I didn't want a large one. I am not a streamer anyway. If you're looking for one those arms, they are usually around $100 or more and designed to hold heavy microphones at greater lengths. - The arm can bear the weight of my microphone, Fifine K678, without droop/sag. Just be very careful tightening the nuts on the arm. They are plastic and will break if over stressed. If you happen to break one, simply visit a hardware store and replace with a nylon locking wing nut. Remember to loosen slightly when repositioning. - My microphone, Fifine K678, comes with an adapter since it uses a very small mounting hole. The provided adapter fit just fine over the standard mounting screw on the arm. I did use the provided tape to secure it better. - The pop filter arm is completely fine. I read many reviews complaining about this. I see the problem they were facing. The arm for the pop filter is screwed into the base (See photos). If you counter-clockwise spin the arm you will loosen it from the base. Thus making it appear useless. A possible solution: Take some very strong adhesive and coat the threads and then screw it back in to the base. Perhaps this is even something the manufacturer could consider. - The mounting base is a standard vice clamp style. This itself is fine. It's how the arm goes into this base is the problem. And the only problem I have encountered. The screw to tighten the arm down does not stop movement. It still rotates or wiggles to a degree (See video). A possible solution: Drill into the arm base, using a pilot bit, a hole the size of the screw. The screw will then go into through the base and then the arm hole preventing any movement. This should have been the design in the first place. For the price, you can't beat it. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Some background about my use case... I do photography and a little bit of video when my department or recreational groups want to record something. I like to double-dip my electronics at every possible opportunity and have been using my Zoom H2n as my primary microphone for recording lectures, whereas previously I had been using it to record panels, bar mitzvahs, those kinds of things where it's important to have multiple high quality sound capture devices in a large room. Since upgrading to a desktop, I'm now prioritizing emplacement for my gear and a mic boom is one of the final touches. The frankengoods... The microphone is a Zoom H2n. The "microphone handle" is a 9.5 inch Camvate aluminum camera grip. The grip has holes for 1/4-20 and 3/8 screws. The bolts are some short 1/4-20s I got from the hardware store so the handle can't slip out of the microphone handle. Cobbling it together... At first I used the Camvate handle to screw directly onto the mic holder neck, but immediately found it annoying to have to unscrew the neck every time I needed to adjust my mic or tuck it behind my monitor. I recommend using the mic holder for the best range, mobility, and simplest procedure for detaching the audio capture device. For such a lightweight setup, the mic holder keeps it's position with total ease. I currently have the mic mounted upside-down, but will experiment with a rightside-up configuration. The foam windscreen is ideal for a Blue Yeti, but fits well on the H2n if the device is rightside-up. It slips off if upside-down. Don't think I'll use it, as the pop filter does well on its own. The pop filter mounts easily along the boom. The neck is quite long and I was able to reach the front of the audio device with no problems. Just be aware that it screws together, so be sure to abide by the mounting instructions and make sure that you don't attach it in a way that the weight of the filter will unscrew its own base. I find that the joint locks secure this load easily. I can raise, lower, and twist the setup as I need and everything holds it's position. It was easy enough to rubber band and twist tie my cables down the boom. Sure the boom is a little ugly with the springs but you can pay a premium elsewhere if you want luxe. My main complaint is that the table clamp could be better. My load is light but the clamp still tilts a bit in the direction of the weight when I have it tucked behind my monitor. I think this might qualify as a nit-pick, though. Not a deal-breaker, but if your build exceeds about three and a half pounds this is something to be aware of. I've seen a lot of negative reviews about folks trying to mount a Blue Yeti on this thing. I wouldn't even try anything bigger than a Yeti Snowball on the medium. This is for light loads only. For that it does a great job. I also wouldn't suggest trying to mount this boom horizontally unless you are ready to jerryrig a strong mounting mechanism. That's just not what this boom was made for.

just what i needed very high quality i didnt need the pop filter but it was nice

InnoGear's product is exactly as it is pictured and described. Mount secured to the Yeti microphone with no problem whatsoever and I had the mount secured to my desk quickly. It was very easy to setup and took no time at all! Like my headline says, "you get what you pay for". The material used to craft everything felt very cheaply made, the mounting felt like it would hold but also seemed like one would need to revisit it constantly to readjust, re-tighten, and would end up being more of a hassle in the end. Again, I don't want to take away from what this is. It is a great product for it's price and if you do not have the money or do not plan on moving your microphone much then pick this bad up! However, if you feel like you can spend $80-120 on a microphone, one should shell out a few extra bucks to get a mount that is made specifically for the product and won't be more of a hassle than it's worth. All in all, if you want a cheap mount that gets the job done, purchase this product! If you're like me and want premium mounting for a "premium" product, than I think you should buy something a little bit more expensive.

I was a little concerned about the complaints about the included adapter not fitting the Blue Yeti but I've just received my InnoGear Heavy Duty Microphone Windscreen and Dual Layered Pop Filter Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand Product # MU047 and the adapter fit my version of the Blue Yeti great. No teflon tape needed. My adapter is colored gold or brass hue. Maybe this has been updated??? Maybe not because INNOGEAR does make it well known that it appears to be a problem with some Blue Yetis. I looked for some kind of date code on the box my microphone came in to see if maybe Blue had corrected the thread discrepancy in later models but couldn't find anything that might help other prospective buyers. Attached image shows the adapter that came with mine. Snugged up nicely. Also, thanks to the other reviewers that made mention of care when tightening the knobs and screws because I tend to overdo it when it comes to securing things. I don't want them moving unless I want them to. I did adjust the arm springs to the "stronger" tension hole on the boom arm (very simple, easy to do...see 3rd image) just in case my Yeti was a strain on the joints later. It seemed to be OK in the first default position but I went ahead and altered it due to the weight of the Yeti. The pop filter mount does not appear to be a problem on my set up as others have mentioned. It's well insulated and is "notched" to accommodate the square edges of the arm. I've included an image that shows how one should position the filter mount when tightening the knob that secures it to the arm. Also, the foam mic protector/filter fits perfectly on my mic...nice and snug and I don't foresee this version (Jan 2019) ever "falling" off as others noted. I don't dispute what others have reviewed concerning these components included in this package...I'm only stating the facts about what I have recently received from INNOGEAR/AMAZON. I feel it's a great value and well worth what I paid for the package. Worthy of 6 Stars but 5 will do today. I see no reason why this would not last me for as long as I continue to search for decent working solutions to the best recordings I can make. Thanks and I hope this helps other folks looking for a great mic suspension mount/stand without breaking the bank.

So, I am a volunteer reader for a visually impaired service. We read articles and such. We moved offsite b/c of the closure. I had all the equipment (a blue yeti mic, use audacity, etc) to read but needed a stand; something for my "home studio” (Closet). In the back of my closet is a shelf about 1 inch thick. I put a small table to hold the computer and rigged a copy stand. The InnoGear Heavy Duty Microphone Stand works extremely well. Attached it to the shelf. Using the adapter that came with it, it fit right into the connector on the back of the mic. I can adjust the mic swing like fashion and the tightening bolt holds it very well. Same with the clamp holding it to the shelf and the swing arm. I just added the pop windscreen because I was popping my p’s on one article. I believe I will have to adjust the mic gain. No big deal. If you wand something inexpensive that works really well, this this is the set up for you. BTW, I use the studio at minimum 3 times a week for a couple of hours at a time. Take a look at the pictures to see how you might set up your studio with this stand.

Sturdy. Good quality. Serves the purpose!

استخدمته مع مايك امبليجيم AM8 و أدى المطلوب منه .. تركيب سهل و تثبيت قوي .. بهذه القيمة يعتبر صفقة رابحة

I received my Innogear in good condition and well ahead of time. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for my Blue Yeti. So kudos to Innogear
