IXTECH Mic Arm Desk Mount, Low Profile Boom Arm, Adjustable Microphone Arm with Detachable Rise Column and Built-In Cable Management, 360° Swivel Mic Boom Arm for Streaming and Recording LIZARD Model.

I had the fancy blue yeti mic stand that was "designed to fail" because they had plastic and metal gears interact. THIS HAS NONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS. This mic stand works PERFECTLY. It's so nice and strong and holds my blue yeti with a stabilizer and a wind shield.

The smooth and precise adjustments ensure that my microphone stays in place and captures my voice accurately.The detachable rise column is a brilliant addition to this mic arm.

It has greatly improved the quality of my audio recordings and live streams while maintaining an organized and professional appearance.

This thing is built like a tank!Pros:- As the title says, it's built incredibly well, the tolerences are amazing!- It's versatile. You can choose the way you want it deployed, with the extra tall arm, with out it, or in which section you want the height-arm to be added.- It hold's up fairly heavy microphones (Rode NT1A + it's shock mount + pop-filter). Although, I probably wouldn't try using it for something like the Electrovoice RE20.- Super easy to swing the mic in and out of positions when you're ready to record and when you're done recording.Cons:- Although the build quality is really great for the arm itself, it isn't the same for the cable cover below.I had the tabs on mine breakoff while trying to install the arm. They are made of plastic and are kind of flimsy.- The mounting mechanism for the microphone/shockmount is a tad finnickey, as you have to exert a lot of force to tighten and secure it, so your microphone doesn't come loose and "swing down".Overall, it's well worth it's price and I would likely not get any other arm for my use case.

Boom arm is pretty good. Swivel end needed some tape to help it grip, and plastic cord keeps are very flimsy and broke.

I first bought a crane style mic arm, the ones that are over the top. It was a cheap $18 one and it was so cheaply made that it wouldn't be worth it even if it was $5.I quickly returned that and decided to search for a different style of mic arm, so decided the 'low profile' style was the best as it's out of the way and it doesn't block your view in anyway. I originally was going to buy the $99.99 Elgato low profile mic arm but the price seemed too high. So decided on this XTech mic arm that was on sale at the time for $69.90.The quality is fantastic! The movement is pretty smooth, it holds up my mic (q2u) fine and the cable management is a huge plus!The small screws that keep the arm pipe sections in place are VERY small, so be very careful if you are trying to get them out. If they slip out of your hand, they will be very hard to find on the floor! (It happened to me and it took me a good 5 minutes to find it!)The mic holder part swivels and can basically be placed in any direction that you want. The mic arm in general can go in any direction. Both sections of the mic arm can swivel 360 degrees, the 'top' part can go up and down too by the way.I give this a 5/5, but I will say and this shouldn't really deter you from buying this because it is a great mic arm that will last years, but I truly wouldn't pay the base price of $99.90 for this. It's great, but at the end of the day it's just a mic arm. Again, I bought it on sale when it was $69.90 and even that was a lot of money! The market for mic arms is really strange; if you cheap out and buy something that's less than $30, you really get the worst trash imaginable, but if you spend between $70-120, you get an amazing mic arm. It's just weird.
