Review on LyxPro MPL-20: Portable Mic Boom Pole Arm with Adjustable Telescopic Aluminum Design, Built-In XLR Cable, and Shotgun Zoom Microphone Compatibility - Extendable from 2.4' to 9.25' by Josh Zuvers

I was excited when I bought this barbell as I thought it was a great deal with lots of great features. However, it fell apart after a few months of use. Customer service was great and sent me a new pole but a replacement pole arrived that was ALREADY BROKEN IN THREE PLACES. The two pieces didn't tighten and the XLR connector on the bottom (I bought the version with the internal cable) was pushed into the unit and unusable. I thought about trying another replacement but not worth rushing at the moment. I should have just spent the extra $60 and gone with a reliable brand like K-Tek. Again the customer service was great and I got my new device quickly so I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 but the product itself is really rubbish.
