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

So it's been almost four years since I bought this arm stand, and on this date [9/15/2018] it finally broke. I would like to preface that it has never sunk despite the added weight of the microphone and spider shockmount. In fact, the arm is perfectly fine! It's the desk mount that broke, which I see that years later they've updated with a hopefully more secure model.For the fact that at the time I paid 15 dollars for this arm stand, and it has lasted as long as it has with all of my random adjusting and pushing, I'm still quite glad and pleased with it and will continue to recommend and give five stars. Will probably buy epoxy glue to repair the mount, or some such.~~~Old Review~~~Purchased as a combo to use with the Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB and Samson SP01 Spider Shockmount. Very simple setup and there was no problem when I switched the default mic holder with the spider shockmount. Having the mic be accessible while also clearing up a lot of desk space makes these types of products so practical. However, the silver rod you screw the shockmount onto can't seem to withstand the weight of the mic and the mount? So it keeps going down. The arm itself holds the weight just fine, and I haven't had it sink on me at all.And the thing with the rod sinking doesn't bother me either, because I can adjust the angle of the shockmount to remedy this for the most part. All in all, a cheap and effective contraption for your microphone needs.

This review is geared for Blue Yeti mic users. The consensus by other Yeti users seemed to be a mix of those saying it works and others saying the mic is too heavy. For $15 I took a chance and as you can see from my included photos it definitely holds the mic.The mic stand is of average lightweight quality but the joints feel nice and sturdy and no tightening was needed at the main joints. Movement is solid and smooth and once you lock down the moving joints it's quite sturdy. As you can see from my included photos it easily holds the mic at a 45 degree angle, vertical, and inverted with no noticeable sag (although it does have a slight play at the mic attachment point which doesn't really cause much issue.)The stand doesn't have full swivel movement but it definitely has enough back and forth movement to adjust it to your liking. Take note that the stand itself is of a smaller size with the length of the arm from one joint to another at about 14.5". Also the base where it clamps down opens to roughly 1.75" so make sure that your desk isn't overly thick. The stand does comes with an adapter so that you can mount the Yeti with no problems.Overall, for the price it's a great stand. Since it pretty easily holds the heavy Yeti, it should be even better for smaller, lighter mics (NOTE: I recently purchased the AT2020USB as well and it works well with this mic as well.) The main reason I purchased this was to get rid of the slight knocking noise the Yeti would pick up from my keyboard/mouse use and this stand has essentially eliminated this, even with the stand clamped on the same desk. Great stand, great price, would definitely recommend. As long as you don't buy it with high expectations of a professional quality stand you should be happy.

The NEEWER Microphone Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand. It's a mouthful to say, but it's also a decent stand for the price I paid for it.The design of the stand seems to require the base to be placed on the backside of your desk/table that you will be using. It can go to the side if need be, but the screw that tightens the arm seems makes this tricky. Going into further detail of this, the arm is placed in the base (the part that mounts to your table/desk). Where the arm enters the base, there is a slit on the side that looks like the tightening screw can go into, tightening the arm while allowing you to pivot it. This isn't the case....well, to mine that is (maybe it's supposed to and mine isn't complete?)When I attempt to tighten the screw to secure the arm, it doesn't go through that slit in the arm. It brushes both sides and just tightens the arm position, preventing it from pivoting. You can force the pivot, but this will scratch the metal and also rub the base arm along the mount, causing the metal to shave from the grinding of the two. This also restricts the amount of pivoting you can do. It's not much of a bother if you're mounting from the back of your desk, but if you're doing so from the side, it's a slightly different story.Overall, I can work with it and it works well with my Blue Snowball microphone. It fits perfectly and some others who have answered the questions on this product have shared a video that a gentlemen has posted on youtube, showing exactly how to make this arm stand work with the Snowball.Pros:- Great price!- Is compatible with the Blue Snowball microphone.- Not too heavy.- The scissor arm allows versatile movement up and down, while the mounting part that holds your microphone also adjusts.- Scissor arm will work with pop filters. You just have to find a good spot.Cons:- Mount base and arm seem to not be in sync when you tighten it to secure the arm stand.- Pivoting the arm stand is limiting due to above con.- Mounting seems to be designed to be on the back of your table/desk. May not be a con for some, but a bit for me as my desk is fully pressed against the wall.Overall:Even though I'm having a slight problem with the pivoting and the securing of the arm stand, it still works well and doesn't hinder what it's designed to do. Also, bonus to the Blue Snowball compatibility.
