Extremely bad quality - faulty production!

This expensive item is another example of Chinese junk. Absolute rubbish. The clamp bracket broke on the second day when tightening. The metal strut could snap in half at the slightest push. Cheap materials, cheap construction. A picture says more than 1000 words.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Safety

This: Accessory

Others with springs don't stay in place. This one does. Does exactly what I need: allows me to adjust, then stay there and not slip down. Easily adjustable. The XLR cable really sucks. The jack (which plugs into your mic) shakes too much and can separate from the active mic, resulting in loud clicking noises. Not good. Replaced with a better one. If you don't want to unscrew and solder everything, just tie a new wire to it. Maybe just desolder and replace the XLR connector with a high-quality…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • High price

Like fighting an alligator 🐊

It's very annoying to use. The elbows have a spring loaded action and you really have to wrestle with them to get them in place. You have to twist the knobs until your fingers ache, and sometimes the spring-loaded mechanism will simply kick the lever in the opposite direction, in the direction you want it to go. To be honest it seems like it needs treatment. I'm a fairly healthy guy who lifts weights every day and it takes too much effort to fight the activity. It is best to simply install it…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • No insurance

That thing is $200 junk.

It looked nice and got a lot of good reviews and after getting it I can only assume there are a lot of bot reviews for it - The table clamp couldn't hold candy when a premature baby used it tried picking them up, not yet talking about keeping them still on my desk when I try to hire them. - The flexible parts of the barbell are made out of cheap plastic and they seem to break when you apply force and pressure. - Yes, and let me tell you about stress and pressure. It takes a tremendous amount of

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Was damaged

Rubbish - More trouble than help

What absolute junk. I took the risk of buying it instead of the YellowTech Mika Arrow and regretted it within minutes of installing it. The spring-loaded lever tightens aggressively with no tension adjustment. When any of the three hinge knobs are loosened, the boom aggressively swings back to the fully extended position. To tighten an arrow in place, you must apply tremendous force (twisting your hand) to the point of pain so that it is held without movement. Because the three hinges are…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Thoughtlessness

The 3000 series is short for "3000 series with terrible design "

There is an inexplicable lack of durable desktop microphones. The Gator Series 3000 seemed to be the straight answer. It's not like this. I bought a blue arrow rest that has none of these issues. Here are the problems: 1. Built-in microphone cable. It's like plastic has formed around the cable entry and exit points and there is absolutely no way to replace the cable. This is marketed as a "broadcast" rack. I'm surprised any professional audio engineer *ever* used the cable built into such…

Pros
  • Rugged build
Cons
  • Poor packaging

The most useless product I've ever bought from Revain.

*WARNING: The product WILL DAMAGE your hard-earned microphone and desk* I was excited and waiting to start a Youtube channel that I wanted to do during the quarantine. I'm a student, I don't have much money but I wanted to buy something nice so I bought their barbell rack for $130. I was expecting a quality product in the mail and was very disappointed. The product this company is selling is a bunch of cheap chinese junk that is not worth the money under any circumstances. Impossible to play…

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never

Good product, just didn't meet my needs like I was hoping

So that's a good arrow mount, I use a Rode Podmic and it holds it securely in place so no major issues . I also think the articulation feels good and the internal springs offer good support/resistance. I have two main complaints. The first is that you can only install the microphone with your head facing down. The nature of the Rode Pod mic I use is that you speak into the "top" of the mic and its frame. This means you can only use this mount with the microphone hanging down and the boom up. I…

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Will do
