Excellent product for the price. Compared to my old arm with springs - night and day.Unboxing experience is excellent too.Elgato is on my radar now as a good company for pc/audio/streaming products.

I’ve always used the budget, $15 mic arms that you can find here on this site & been totally content. Recently, I purchased this ElGato mic arms for my GF, for Christmas. Boyyy was I jealous when I set it up for her and realized just how much nicer this is. It’s like comparing a brand new Mercedes S-class to a Mitsubishi Mirage. Not on the same planet.I immediately ordered myself one & have been enjoying it ever since. It rotates, extends, retracts, super smooth. I don’t feel like I’m fighting with my mic arm anymore, or feeling like I need to leave it in one place because I’m worried I’ll break it in half. This this is solid construction, through and through. I’ll never go back!!

Using with: shure sm7bStays in place!! No insanity inducing knob PhD needed. Holds weight with, so far, ZERO knob adjusting no matter the position I put it in!!! Move it, it stays. Done.!!!!!!!!!So here’s the comparisons and why I’m so impressed. :I’ve never had a mic arm that was sane. I never understood how everybody seemed perfectly fine with these garbage unstable, non-load bearing, “spring loaded” garbage arms. Twist those knobs all day and watch the magic impossible really off NOTHING happening despite non stop action!This?Omg“I’m in awe” is as accurate as “I’m in love.” The blue yeti arm that is gas mechanism was so much better than the mass garbage arms, but still had its issues. It’s prone to just rise to the ceiling and if you over tighten, you break it, but you gotta tighten to keep it from floating away, so… better than the nothing (which is all the other mic arms), but still some major flaws.This guy is MAGIC. Magic. You even have a weight to add to help provide additional counterweight to the already shocking ability for it to hold whatever position you placed it in!!! No massive twirling of knobs and raising the arm twenty feet and hoping it drops nineteen points five feet, to where you need it. And if not, just raising and watching it lower and praying it lands in some sanity sustaining state of moderate usability.This mic arm, I move it, it stays. Everywhere!!!! I’m using a shure sm7b. I’m in love.

This boom arm has been great it holds my microphone perfectly. It's easy enough to move around but is stiff enough to not move on its own. For the price its great, the lower end $20 ones usually don't last long at all. after maybe a year of ownership I had a side piece break off randomly but didn't effect the arm and I just glued it back on.

Being new to streaming, I made sure to consider my options and research/study as much reviews and comparisons as I could. Fortunately my choice in this arm really turned out to be the best for me. I love the naturally balanced action that doesn't require any frustrating cumbersome knobs and screws I'm so used to with accessory clamps. Just be sure to utilize the added weight if your microphone is on the light side, and you will be perfectly balanced not having to worry about unintended entropy based movement or cable weight/pull.The cable management is A+ and I had zero problems stowing a huge heavy duty bulky braided XLR cable.My only small gripe was realizing there isn't much thin cylindrical surface to clamp accessories onto with their typical small 'C' shaped screw assemblies, but fortunately my microphone shock mount that screwed onto the Elgato plate had a perfectly sized section for me to attach my 3d-party pop filter.

This Mic Arm is great! Love the way it works and functions. Has such a clean look without wires hanging everywhere.

It assembled easily, and holds my AKG microphone with shock mount very securely. It has a great and easy range of motion, and the extension piece allows it to reach over my monitor. It's a huge improvement over my desktop mic-stand with a weighted base. That thing wasn't nearly as stable and secure as this one is, though the extension and overall length does make it a bit more wobbly, though it will never tip over like the other, so that's fine. It's also much more compact and tucked out of the way when not in use. It was easy to route the cable internally and it looks really nice with it all tucked away now. One con is that it doesn't have a good place to clamp my pop filter to the arm. It works well enough without one, but i may need to get something to adapt it or maybe just get a foam cover. It's a good enough value normally, but an excellent value when on sale.

I have tried many of the scissor mic arms and while they are perfectly functional, the Elgato arms are a delight. I started with the Low-Profile but found that this met my needs better. The movement is smooth and the channel for hiding my cable is perfect and easy to use. I have used this with my the Elgato Wave DX XLR mic and the Shure SM7B and it works flawlessly with both.Once again, the movement is well beyond any of the scissor-spring mounts I've used, and I will never go back.
