I have a shock to solve my space problem; I needed the microphone to take up less space. However, over time I've noticed some small improvements in the capture that saved me quite a bit of editing time, and there was also a quality improvement (due to the proximity my computer fan was added to the capture; it was gone!). Suffice it to say that it improved the overall quality of the recording and saved time in editing, making the investment well worth it. my. However, as per the fix instructions, make sure you have some tape in case the mounting threads don't match.] As a small perk, my parrot likes the mount better than the mic. , which now means she hangs around with it and not the mic; This is normal during recording as the mount absorbs the sound of their landing and the microphone now doesn't need to be cleaned as thoroughly. So not only did it improve the audio of the recording and save recording time, it also made the parrot happier (and the happy parrot is quieter and chirps less often, which also saves editing time). Oh, and since the microphone is no longer on the stand, it no longer takes up valuable desk space.
