BEACN Mic Stand - Studio-Quality Low Profile Adjustable Microphone Arm with 360° Rotation, Cable Management, Easy Clamp, Universal Fit For Streaming, Podcasting, Gaming (Dark)

UPDATE - 4/11/2024My original review (see below) only gave this stand 3 stars. I had an issue with the design of the ball joint that attached the mic to the stand. I left the exact same review on the BEACN site. The customer support team reached out to me after reading my review and seemed quite surprised at my concerns. They told me that what I experienced was not normal and should not have happened.After just a bit of back & forth, they offered to send out a replacement in exchange for my sending the defective unit back for them to look at.Long story short, they sent me a replacement stand and after setting it up, I experienced none of the same issues. I am now questioning whether my initial issue might have been due to user error when I set it up. I am waiting to hear back from BEACN to see if I can establish whether the mistake may have been mine or if I simply got a defective one. When I hear back, I will update this review.Regardless, once this issue was addressed, this stand became the absolutely perfect stand for my setup. The low profile and swivel design allows me to position the mic when I'm using it without the stand getting in the way of other equipment. It also allows me to swing it completely out of the way when I'm not using it. Setting up for a recording or meeting is now literally as easy a pressing a button to set my lighting and swinging the mic right into position.The build quality is excellent, the motion is smooth and quiet.Finally, sometimes things happen. Whether the ultimate cause was user error or a defective unit, once BEACN was properly aware of the issue, they made it right without any hassle!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I love the overall design on this stand. It's sleek, minimalistic and sturdy overall.So, why only 3 stars? In the end, there's one significant flaw, and it finally reached the point where I simply couldn't use it anymore. The ball joint interface between the mic and the stand. The single screw that locks the ball join in place and interfaces with the stand simply doesn't work well for me. When the screw is tightened, it locks the ball joint well. However, the simple clamshell design that actually attaches to the mic stand itself simply can't hold the mic steady in the vertical. That connection, no matter how tightly I screw things down, can still rotate 180 degrees on the mic stand connection. I position the stand so that I can swing it out of the way when I'm not in a meeting or recording. The process of swinging it back into place often causes the mic to drop down. That even happens if I happen to gently bump the mic or try to reposition the stand more than a fraction of an inch.It's really unfortunate. I like EVERYTHING else about this stand it would be 100% perfect and get 5 stars from me in an instant if this one issue was addressed. However, it's just not usable, and believe me, I tried for nearly four months!

I’ve recently purchased this BEACN mic stand, and I couldn't be happier. The installation process was a breeze. Adjusting the stand arm to my preferred height and angle is simple and easy, allowing me to find the perfect position for my podcast recordings. One of the standout features I needed was the ability to swivel the mic arm out of the way when I'm not recording. This flexibility helps keep my workspace organized and clutter-free. I specifically wanted to avoid a traditional mic stand that would take up desk space (as you can see my desk is small). The quality is there; the arm feels very sturdy and is made from high-quality metal. Plus, it matches the black color scheme of my desk.Overall, I recommend the BEACN mic stand and mic for anyone looking for a functional, aesthetic, and space-saving solutions!

By far the best mic arm I have ever used. Flawless in movement and holds from as well.

I first saw this used by a video content creator on YT.Though it is designed for a desk (in the sitting position), I have it clamped onto a music gear flight case...which is set atop a keyboard stand...and is perfect for my use while recording vocals (standing).

Very good quality for the money. Like the way you can hide mic cable in arm

Good boom but somewhat inflexible to work around. Didn’t realize it just had one joint to turn mic horizontally and one to adjust vertically. Good value and matches BEACN Mic.

A seamless addition to my setup … wonderful quality, will probably last a lifetime. It is about 2-3x the cost of others, but with an eye for quality? This is the boom you want.

Coming from someone who’s used literally dozens of different mic arms I have go say this one goes all the way up to where it’s comparable to the Rode PSA1+. I used the elgato low profile mic arm before this one and I was satisfied enough, but it started to get more and more issues. I use a Shure SM7b microphone and it’s notoriously heavy for a mic, so over time the elgato mic arm started to slouch a ton and it looked really ugly, and started to have really bad wear and tear the longer I used it. This mic arm has no such issues and moves back and forth so clean it’s actually insane. If you are looking for a mic arm, this is the one to go with, even if you’re not looking for low profile this will do everything you need, guaranteed.
