Gator Frameworks Deluxe Desk-Mounted Broadcast Microphone Boom Stand For Podcasts & Recording; Integrated XLR Cable GFWMICBCBM3000

I bought this hoping it would easily carry the Shure SM7B mic as it is quite a heavy mic. And it does with ease. It’s super easy to setup and cones with both a screw plate and a clamp mount. The arm is easy to turn and reposition as needed. Because it is quite a chunky build with its hidden ergonomics design, it has space for putting logos of sponsors on. It also comes with a built in XLR which is also good quality. It’s also fairly easy to take out and insert a new XLR cable if needed.

I used to use a cheap boom arm with external springs. It was quite light, and the connections were poor quality. I did some research (mostly YouTube reviews) and the Gator Frameworks boom arm looked like the one for me. It is far superior to my original cheap boom. It's longer, quieter, sturdier and looks better. It has an integrated XLR cable, which is great because I was about to spend €20 on another cable. It comes with 2 desk mounts - one is a C clamp, that's the one I'm using, and it's very solid. The other is circular mount that screws into the desktop - long screws are provided. I haven't used it but I'm assuming the quality is as good as the rest of the kit. Overall, this is a high quality mic boom arm, well worth the money in my opinion.

The lack of instructions were surprising for a premium stand at this cost, but after setting up, the stand feels robust. Pairs well with the Shure SM7B microphone, and the integrated XLR cable is handy. No complaints about the build quality.

Not high quality. It wobbles on the base because the peg is smaller than the hole. You can really clamp it down hard to stop the wobble (somewhat) but then you can’t pivot the boom. It’s supposed to pivot, so you have a choice - put up with the wobble or don’t allow it to pivot. Desk clamp is overall not sturdy enough. There is also too much slack cable sticking out of the end so you end up with an untidy mess near your mic which defeats the purpose of routing the cable internally. I’m disappointed.

Major Design Flaw: Cables can be temperamental. I brought this & was experiencing feedback problems for months. Checked to see if it was a faulty wire by trying a different one & I was correct. So I go to get rid of the old wire to then find out you can't. It's trapped in the mold of the plastic, with no means of access. You'd have to use scissors to cut the wire to thread it out but they've also made it impossible to put a new one in. So your new wire has to run outside of the arm, which partly defeats the purpose of why you brought this thing in the first place.

Not cheap but certainly the mount to have for the SM7B. You might as well buy this first rather than last. Looks the business too. Great quality and very pleased with it.

This is perfect for SM7B Mic. I would say it’s tailored for SM7B. Sturdiness is what matters as the mic itself is quite heavy so the desk mount does the job perfectly.

I bought the boom arm for its manoeuvrability but didn’t realise the fatal flaw in the design. There is no way to replace the cable. The cable has a cheap connector for the mic comes packed in a manner that causes kinks. By the time I got my CloudLifter for my Shure SM7B, it was too late to return the boom arm. Cable causes a lot of high-pitched noise on what is a perfectly clean signal when I use a different XLR cable (Mogami with Neutrik). A waste of money. Very disappointed. I thought it was a safe bet because Joe Rogan used it.

A entrega foi rápida e o material é muito bom. Recomendo!

La construcción metálica y el cableado interno de alta calidad le otorgan un aspecto profesional, lo que lo hace adecuado para uso en estudios y podcasting. Soporta fácilmente micrófonos como el Shure SM7B, conocido por su peso considerable. El cable XLR integrado de 3 metros mantiene el espacio de trabajo más ordenado, ya que el cable está oculto dentro del diseño tubular. Esto evita enredos de cables, algo especialmente útil para fines profesionales y visuales, donde se necesita una combinación de estética y funcionalidad. Al usar este soporte, casi nunca ajusto los clips que fijan cada parte del brazo. Me permite ajustar constantemente el ángulo del micrófono sin cambiar su posición, lo cual es muy importante para mí, dado que tengo un espacio limitado. Gracias a esto, no tengo que estar apretando o reajustando el soporte constantemente, lo que ahorra mucho tiempo y estrés. El paquete incluye dos opciones de instalación: un clip para la mesa y un montaje atornillado. Esto permite elegir el método de fijación más adecuado, garantizando estabilidad incluso con micrófonos pesados. El sistema de montaje flexible con un adaptador de 3/8 y 5/8 pulgadas permite usar prácticamente cualquier tipo de micrófono, incluidas las modelos profesionales con suspensión elástica. El diseño con resortes y ajuste de tensión permite configurar fácilmente el brazo del micrófono en el ángulo deseado, y sus movimientos son casi silenciosos. Esto es especialmente importante para grabaciones en condiciones que requieren un nivel mínimo de ruido, aunque generalmente no muevo el soporte durante las grabaciones. El modelo está diseñado para micrófonos de hasta 1,5 kg, lo que supera las capacidades de algunos competidores como el Rode PSA1. Esto ofrece mayor flexibilidad al elegir equipos de grabación y deja margen para futuros cambios, en caso de necesitar un micrófono más pesado. Proporciona mayor rotación lateral para micrófonos como el Shure SM7B, lo que facilita su ajuste. Esto es importante para colocar el micrófono con precisión en un estudio o durante actuaciones en vivo. La construcción metálica y los materiales de alta calidad garantizan la durabilidad del producto, incluso con un uso intensivo. Esto convierte la compra en una inversión rentable en equipo profesional. El único detalle que quisiera señalar es que mi soporte llegó con pequeños defectos en la pintura. En la parte trasera había pequeñas rayaduras, pero son casi imperceptibles y no afectan la apariencia general. No cambié el soporte porque lo necesitaba para trabajar, y en general, su diseño es bastante estético. Quisiera mencionar que la parte metálica del cable XLR está en color plateado, mientras que mi micrófono es completamente negro. Sería más lógico que el cable también fuera negro para no destacar visualmente. Es un detalle menor, pero corregirlo haría que el soporte fuera prácticamente perfecto. Además, la caja en la que se entrega el soporte resultó bastante voluminosa. Sería más conveniente si el embalaje fuera más compacto.

The arm is amazingly well built and looks awesome tensions hold my shure sm7b effortlessly just buy it on sale 11900 Or you can go for rode Psa1+ that is also one beast of a boom arm
