IXTECH Boom Arm - Adjustable 360° Rotatable Microphone Sturdy Stainless Steel Mic Desk, Table Stand Foldable Scissor Stable Mount Arms for Radio Studio, Podcast, Gaming

Really happy with the boom arm, does well to hold my mic and I love that I can move it around in so many different ways to suit how I want it. Moving it around so much causes it to loosen a bit however, but it's an easy fix with just having to tighten it back up. The assembly was very easy, and I love the fact that it has clips to hold the wiring for the mic.

I had been using a weighted desktop mic stand for quite some time, it worked well but was limited in overall flexibility. Since I do live Djing on my radio station, voiceovers and record my own music tracks. I needed a well built boom mic arm that could handle the weight of my SM7B (and other similar mics), with the flexibility of being able to put the mic exactly where you need it.I saw the video for the iXtech boom mic arm and thought I would give it a try. Let me say that I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this boom mic arm actually performs. Especially given other similar boom mic arms that are almost double in price. The steel construction and sleek design of this boom mic arm are points well worth mentioning. The product does not feel cheap or unstable and actually performs as advertised.The "cutaway" within the boom arm for the XLR cable to integrate adds a nice touch for appearance and functionality. And the steel constructed table base clamp does an excellent job in supporting the weight of the boom arm and mic itself. The 360 degree turning radius of the boom arm operates as smooth as silk. And the "joint tensioners" allow you to adjust exactly how much stiffness or flexibility you want within the boom arm. Assembly of the product was surprisingly very simple, and most importantly the boom arm works as advertised.My only complaint is that when the product arrived one end of the box had already been opened. I almost started to send it back, but after checking to see if all the contents were inside the box (which they were) I decided to keep it. Other than that this was a great purchase and I would highly recommend the product.

I have a Blue Compass holding a Yeti mic. I wanted to duplicate the setup for a few bucks less and the reviews on the iXtech indicate it's basically identical. It's not. While this mic holder is good, it's not great.When compared side by side with the Blue Compass this model is just not as nice. The friction hold is not as smooth and it releases with stiction. The springs feel less damped. The friction knobs are a little rougher to handle. The cable clips are not as low profile, the plastic molding is not as nicely lined up with the aluminum arm extrusion, edges are a little rougher in fit and finish. It also happens to be slightly smaller than a Compass, so when paired up they're awkwardly scaled.On the other hand what you read is true: it looks nice, it holds well, it really does the job just dandy, and it's a few bucks cheaper than the original it's clearly inspired by. It's just a B+ version. Good enough.If you're in a set-and-forget setup it's going to be great. If you are a person who likes to fuss with position and constantly adjust the placement of your arm then the Blue is a much better choice for a little more money: the Compass is clearly superior in its dynamic mechanics and its physical handling.Since I like to constantly tweak my articulation I'll be sending this one back and ordering another Blue Compass, for me it's worth the additional fee. But for many people this will be more than sufficient.

I am switching from the Fifine mic/mic stand to my Blue Yeti I've had for a while but never had a decent stand for. I wanted to invest a bit more in my stand, but also didn't want to spend a ton of money.This mic arm is absolutely amazing and the material feels nice and sturdy. The clamp is like a tank if you decide to use it and I'm so happy with it! It does not move a centimeter when I tried to physically jostle the clamp around compared to my Fifine one.The only thing which originally made me want to rate it 4 stars is that it HIGHLY depends on your mic's weight. The Shure SM7B I originally got it for was perfect for it, but my Blue Yeti was too light at the original tension that the arm flew back to a vertical line. After adjusting the tension of every part to the max I could turn it, my Blue Yeti is perfect with it which made me rate 5 stars.I would recommend anyone with a mic lighter than the Blue Yeti to be aware that your mic might not work with this beauty. It is definetly an issue when it comes to the ratings, but I assure you that if you buy this with a heavier mic this is godsend!

This mic arm is perfect! Not only does it have a wide variety of angles and lengths, but it is also very sturdy so that even the heaviest of mics can stay attached without pulling it down. Such a value for money for it's mobility and functionality

Does not hold the mic in place no matter how tight you turn the knobs so it doesn't move. Slowing keeps lowering the mic and you will to keep moving it up to keep it at the height you desire.

I was a bit hesitant about this mic boom arm when I find it, because it hadn’t any comments yet. But it looked very nice and has good price. The prices of similar boom arms with a lot of comments are almost 2-3 times now expensive than it.The boom arm holds its position extremely well. I am using a fairly heavy Blue Yeti microphone with shock mount and pop filter (about 2,5lbs total) and it doesn’t drop even a little over the course of hours recording.I couldn’t be happier about it.Sleek, easy to use and I have had no problems. If you read the little booklet that comes with it, tells typo there is a tension screw at the base of the arm that you can adjust to tighten the tension or loosen the tension of the spring. Heavier mics might need a good twist to the right of that tension screw, this will stop the arm from failing or springing back up after you have already tightened the hinges.I am very happy for that purchase. I would definitely recommend this product to those who are looking for a cheap and stylish mic arm.
