Review on 🎙️ AK-35 Microphone Arm by Aokeo - Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand for Blue Yeti, Blue Snowball iCE, QuadCast, Elgato by Jason Regalado

I really wasn't expecting much so I can say with confidence that I was not disappointed. But let's start with the good. First, all the important details are metal, which is nice. I've seen others have a plastic adapter for different mic sizes, but this one is brass so everything fits snugly and feels solid. I have a Blu Snowball and this stand works great with it. Fits well and doesn't have a problem holding the weight. The tension knobs work "well" and I don't find them to fail easily, but I am skeptical about their long-term reliability. Now for the not so good ones. He feels a little limp. It doesn't wobble much or anything, but I've definitely seen better workmanship. But for the price, no one can complain. The biggest complaint I have is that the non-adjustable hinges are _very_ tight. I can remove the bottom set of springs and not worry about slipping. Of course, that means it can be tricky to set up as you can't just push it away. I usually need two hands to adjust it. Small quibble, but if you're the type of person who can't stop tuning your mic (you know who you are), you might want to look for something a little easier to set up. My only other complaint (but really just a nitpick) is that I wish it was longer. I have a fairly deep desk (Ikea I think) and I can't just clip it to the back of the desk and carry it to me without feeling very uncomfortable. I fixed it by putting it on the side of my desk. To be honest the reach and range of motion are about right for this type of design. Overall I'd say it's a worthwhile investment if you're looking for a cheap mic stand. Especially since you don't get the pop screen and other things that usually drive up the prices of these things. If you want those things, however, you'll need to look elsewhere. If you just want something simple that works, that should be great.
