Neewer Microphone Arm Stand, Suspension Boom Scissor Mic Arm Stand with 3/8” to 5/8” Screw and Cable Ties Compatible with Blue Yeti, Snowball, Yeti X, Quadcast and Other Mics, Max Load 1.5kg

I purchased this boom arm along with the recommended Dragonpad studio pop filter. Setup was a breeze with the included desk clamp. The build is solid and sturdy without being clunky or unwieldy, the clamp is perfect for my desk, and my microphone cable's own Velcro loops make it easy to tie the cable down to the arm and keep it neat and tidy. The arm is able to hold the weight of my rather large USB microphone, a Samson C01U, without any sort of budging or drooping. This was a little bit of a pleasant surprise, seeing as my roommate's large stage-style boom microphone stand could not hold up that microphone, and would cause it to slowly lower itself over time. Even when I'd try to tighten the boom joint screw as tightly as possible to prevent it from falling, it'd still slowly droop down. With the Neewer, I can even leave the elbow joint screw completely loose and it still won't move an inch. I only have two complaints about this boom arm, the lesser of which was an oversight on my own part. I didn't think to check the specs (despite there being a picture showing that each segment of the arm was 35 cm) and figure out just what size the arm would be when it arrived. This resulted in the boom feeling a little bit smaller than I expected when I received it. I've since grown accustomed to the size and have managed to put the arm to good use regardless of my mistake. My only legitimate complaint about the Neewer is the 3/8ths inch square rods used to construct the arm, in regards to the Dragonpad pop filter that's recommended to be purchased with it. The pop filter's clamp (on my unit, at least) is too large or loose to fit onto the skinny square rods that make up the boom arm. I'm not sure if I'm just stupid, but I can't get it to tighten properly to the arm on its own. I was able to remedy this by using a piece of cardboard from the packaging to wrap around the rod and create extra padding to give the pop filter something to grip. I'm not sure if other users who have purchased both products have had the same problem, but it seems like something that shouldn't really happen to two products that are suggested to be ordered together. So my only honest complaint, however slight, is not even about the arm or even the pop filter, but Amazon's recommendation. With all that said, I have no reason to give the Neewer microphone boom scissor arm anything less than five stars. It does its job, and it does it beautifully. While I don't plan to move it anytime soon, it's nice and compact when it's folded up, for easy transportation. I can't praise the construction enough, and it just looks nice and stylish with the microphone and pop filter attached (despite my cardboard lifehack), mounted on my desk. I might see about adding some photos once I've got the rest of my computer assembly collected and arranged on the desk.

Works well, holds my Audio-Technica AT2020 mic just fine. Easy mount.

I saw this microphone boom offered as part of a package with the Audio Technica AT2020 USB microphone. As I own one of the mikes, I thought it would be a good addition to my office. The boom arrived and was exactly as described on Amazon and took only minutes to set up. I have glass top desk, so I bought mounting pads and a plastic plate to protect the bottom of the glass. The top of the mounting is already padded with a spongy material that protects the top of the glass. At first I as a bit confused as to how all the pieces fit together. If you look at the image of the boom, you see it comes with a plastic grip for a standard size microphone. The AT2020 is a bit larger so it won't fit in the supplied grip. What makes this fit together nicely is that the threaded bar holding the plastic grip has the same thread as the mounting that attaches to the mini tripod that came with the microphone. The steps I followed are as follows: Remove the AT2020 from the mini tripod microphone mount (supplied with the AT2020.) Unscrew the plastic grip from the boom. Unscrew the microphone mount from the mini tripod (supplied with the AT2020.) Screw the microphone mount (from the tripod) onto the threaded bar on the boom. The threads should match. Attach the AT2020 to the microphone mount now attached to the boom. Adjust the microphone and tighten the microphone holder. Pros 1) The boom attaches easily to the desk surface. 2) The boom is sturdy and holds the weight of the microphone. 3) The mounting pieces fit nicely together. 4) The boom is high enough to hole the AT2020 away from the field of vision of my webcam. 5) Once mounted, the microphone works nicely. Cons 1) The boom is attached to the desk mount with a thumb screw. This loosens if you move the boom around too often. 2) the threaded mounting bar is designed to pivot in place. This makes it hard to attach the microphone mount tightly This is not a drawback unless you want to pivot the microphone, it will unloosen from the boom mounting bar. 3) The boom is a bit flimsy (but more solid than I expected for $12.) 4) There aren't good mountings or the microphone cable. I used black tie wraps to attach the cable to the boom. This suffices but is not optimal. All in all, I get much more utility than the price I paid. I am happy with the results and would recommend this boom to anyone using the AT2020 for teleconferencing or online chat. I imagine that a suspension mount would isolate the microphone from the boom for a recording quality setup.

There are plenty of good Mic stands out there, Rode makes a REALLY nice one but it's $99!!! This bad boy is ONLY $12.99. Is it pretty, NO. Does it creak and squeak when you move it around a bunch, YES. Is it a great deal, ABSOLUTELY. There are some things i've learned over this year with this mic stand that i should share. 1) Try to AVOID turning or swiveling the stand while it is tightly locked into the clamp, this will wear down the little metal peg that slips into the clamp. Also try to avoid over tightening. I always had my stand pretty tight when i would swivel it around and the metal peg has worn down pretty bad. 2) Most of you are using the BLUE YETI in conjunction with this mic stand. Consider buying a METAL 5/8 inch male to 1/4 inch female screw adapter. The plastic one that comes with the stand stripped after a couple of weeks and my Mic fell off the stand. Not the stands fault, but be weary. This is the one i ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GYTGW3E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 3) Tuck or fold the stand back when not in use, any stress that can be taken off the clamp and stand will help the stand stay in great shape. It's not made particularly well, but if it's taken care of it will last you a long time. also minimize the accessories you keep on your mic or keep them light. A shock mount, a mic, and a screen pop filter is probably pushing this stand to the limits. If you want all that, then you should buy a more heavy duty stand. This stand is for casual users. Hope this helps. its a cheap stand, but it's served me well. I have no complaints, if it breaks today then i wouldn't be disappointed, I got more than my money's worth for it.

I Purchased the product on February 17, 2016 and have used it every day since then, but I don't move it around much because its flimsy feeling and when I was stretching it out the first night, a plastic piece from the inside used as a blocker for the hollow metal broke off, No big deal. However when you want to adjust it or lift it so its higher its very loose. Hard to describe it in words but where it mounts is loose, not the clamp but the small tube that goes into the clamp's hole is where its loose. I tried to modify it with tape and other things but nothing helped. On top of that the metal used there is VERY slim and was actually being quickly cut off just from normal rotation. I have positioned it where i like it and haven't moved it much, I don't expect it to last long because lets face it, It's very cheap and gets the job done, transfers hardly any vibrations to the mic. I use an Audio-Technica AT 2035 with their standard shock mount. I'm satisfied with the product but it could definitely be better. For the price you wont beat it. I'm neutral on the purchase but If you are serious about recording I'd suggest going in at a higher price point. This product is for people just starting out, maybe not serious about recording or low budget productions. I expect to need a new one in less than a year. (Just for the fact that there's a about a 1 inch wiggle at the base and gets nerve wracking because it gets picked up in recording when you are adjusting in the middle of a show.) Hope this informs you more before you purchase. :)

I was planning for it to hang horizontally with a Blue Snowball mic, but sadly this one can't function that way. So, if you wish it to be horizontal, look elsewhere. I realized this before I attached the mic as it would make little difference of it could stand its own weight, let alone that of a mic. The Snowball itself is pretty heavy, so I was simply living a fantasy. As I said, it can't hold its own weight horizontally. It simply wants to fall. Vertically it was no problem, even with the weight of the mic. I am worried about the adjustment in the center. It seems a bit iffy and wants to give way, but so far has yet. It's been a week since I've received it and have witnessed not really any flaw that wouldn't be apparent. It unfolds nicely from its resting spot and folds right back just as easily without even having to readjust it. It seems more as if it just looks into place whenever I pull it out, so I never have to fiddle with it to get it in the right place. It just seems to go right where I want it with little effort. The clamp itself is nicely made, yet just simply done. It's quite large, so there's little worry if it will fit wherever you decided to attach it. The clamp is even padded, which calms me to know I don't have to worry about scratching the wood should I end up bumping it in the future. I was even able to have it fit in a pretty tight spot thanks to the bar's design to slide in and out, making turning it a breeze. If you do wish to attach the Blue Snowball, do know it comes with the feature to allow this, though it's not apparent yet. The mic holder that comes with has a piece that screws out. This can then be screwed into your Blue Snowball and therefore attached to your new mic arm. Apply some common knowledge when you fiddle with it and you'll figure out how to do the same. All in all, this mic arm is pretty well made. It does the job perfectly. However, I bought it at around $13 from here and I can safely say it feels worth about $20-$25. It does feel flimsy when you look at it and I am still worried the middle adjustment will drop at any moment. Therefore, any price above what I've listed feels too much for what you get. It's also smaller than you may think, so do your research well and have a few ideas on where you are able to attach it that won't be considered in the way in the future. Other than that, you're looking at a nice piece.

First of all, the listing gives the model number as NW-35. What I received is designated NW-35A. The only difference I can see is that the base that holds the arm is considerably beefed-up. The stand is well made, sturdy, and should last a long time. The arm is supposed to be good up to 3.3lb/1.5kg. The Samson Q9U mic is, depending on where you look, 1.76lb/.8kg or 2.14lb/.97kg. Whichever it really is, this arm holds the mic without any problem. The springs do not make noise when moving the arm. The 4 supplied hook-and-loop cable ties are fine for cable management. I have bought a lot of Neewer products over the years and never been disappointed. This microphone arm stand continues that impression.

Great quality for how inexpensive it was. I use it to hold my microphone for streaming. One thing I was really disappointed in with this mount is the non-standard thread size for the microphone clip, hence the 4-star rating. I didn't even look for this in the description, as it seems relatively absurd that they just decided to use their own proprietary size. This basically means that you have to use the microphone clip that it comes with. If you're microphone isn't a standard mic that fits this clip, like many types of condenser mics, this guy will NOT work for you. For instance, I bought this microphone which doesn't use a microphone clip, and instead has the screw built-into the microphone itself and found out the screw connection on the bottom of it won't fit! This microphone has a standard size connection, but the boom here does not. FIFINE TECHNOLOGY USB Microphone,Fifine Plug &Play Home Studio USB Condenser Microphone for Skype, Recordings for YouTube, Google Voice Search, Games(Windows/Mac)-K668 If you just search for "USB Microphone" and look at the list, pretty much everything in the top 20 there will not work with this boom because of that. What I managed to do it shove my microphone into the clip that came with this boom. It had to stretch pretty good and is probably ruined now for any other mic, but it works for me and the price was right. On a positive note, the springs and boom and quite strong, stay pretty well in place, move easily etc. All-in-all it works great for me, but if I was getting it for any other reason or happened to buy a mic that simply wouldn't fit, I would have been very disappointed with this one. So beware! UPDATE: Ok, I was just doing some research after writing this review. It seems somewhat strangely common that these desk mic booms come with a 3/8" screw connector like this one does. I'm a musician and I've never seen this type of connection before. I've always dealt with the 5/8" connection, which has come with every mic I've bought. Some other booms I just looked up come with an adapter that you can screw into the boom to change it to fit a 5/8" mic clip. Here is an example of one: On Stage MA200 5/8-Inch Male to 3/8-Inch Female Mic Screw Adapter . With this, you can attach a standard microphone clip. I've updated my review to 5-stars since this was my only complaint and seems to be easy to fix.

Fast delivery, good quality, stable and easy to use. I am using it for 2 months to mount my microphone. No shaking and no noise. Easy to adjust.

I bought this and its overall well built but one of those knobs started slipping and wouldnt hold the mic im guessing its just a defective one but im defo returing the defective one and ordering another, highly recommend

今んところ大丈夫

Excellent bras de micro, supporte mon Fifine AM8 parfaitement, ne redescend jamais, je recommande !
