Gator FrameworksDeluxe Desk-Mounted Broadcast Microphone Boom Stand For Podcasts & Recording, Integrated XLR Cable (GFWBCBM3000), Black

Dont think, just buy it, its worth it!

the product did not meet my needs, it seemed very solid but broke within a short time. shipping was very fast as always on Amazon. the seller does not provide a warranty on the product. I tried to contact support but he told me that the seller does not provide support, not even product exchange or repairs. packaging and price are always good like everything on Amazon but I'm very sorry that they don't provide guarantees on a product like this or at least a repair because now I have to buy it new later. I do not recommend purchasing as there is no guarantee or communication with the seller

I decided to upgrade my recording setup this month. As the investment kept rising I found it easy to justify a boom arm upgrade...I had one of the cheaper boom arms you could buy on Amazon, it came in at a little more than 1/3 the price of this one. And while it did the job, it felt and looked cheap and was extremely stiff. It was also a bit short.This Gator Frameworks 3000 remedies all of that. It looks great, operates almost effortlessly and smoothly. And if you are upgrading to a mic that needs an XLR cable like I did, it includes a nice and long XLR cable, saving you about $20. It's a great value even without the cable, this makes it a no-brainer.The cable runs through the inside of the boom arm. This makes for a nice clean look. But, as far as I can tell, to change out the cable you'd have to run a naked cable through a small hole in the bottom, disassemble the stand to run the cable through (not too difficult) and then solder/crimp/however-you-attach-an-XLR-connector. I show a pic of the only spot I found that would require the connector to be attached after assembling. I suppose you could Dremel the top of that hole off and you'd be able to run your cable with the connectors attached. Maybe. (Hole close up shown in pic.)All this cable talk leads me to the one little gripe I have about this unit. The whole unit is black. So why, oh why, did we have to use a silver XLR connector on this cable? The reason it bothers me is that when on video if I have the mic in real close, that silver connector jumps out and draws attention. Without it the whole unit would just blend in and be much less noticeable. Tiny gripe, I know. I'll be painting the outside of the connector and my trauma will soon be forgotten.*** Note about the desk mount: I'm using the desk mount from my old boom arm, the pins are the same size. The mounts that come with this unit are awesome though! Very robust. It comes with one that can be screwed to the desk top — I might end up using that one. The other one is a really solid desk clamp, it just won't fit where I have my unit located, in a small crack between the desk and a desk extension I have my phone on.

El material es muy bueno, fiable para montar micrófonos.

Es un producto muy rigido, puede parecer muy duro de manipular, pero su mayor caracteristica es ser rigido y estable para no estarlo moviendo todo el tiempo.

The arm is amazingly well built and looks awesome tensions hold my shure sm7b effortlessly just buy it on sale 11900Or you can go for rode Psa1+ that is also one beast of a boom arm

What I like: Looks slick with solid frame and internally routed cables. Feel high quality with some strong tension, metal arms, and the plastic knobs don't feel like they will crack off from cranking a bit. Stays where you put it when you adjust these 3 large tension knobs.What I don't like: Integrated cable, functional but would love an option to switch it out. Difficult to unscrew the mic mount if you don't back out the black inner adjustment ring a bit BEFORE installing it. Stand grips the desk well enough if you adjust the swivel tension so it can move freely but stay put. If that top swivel clamp knob is too tight the stand will wiggle free from the desk eventually from moving the arm position.TLDR: I Love this stand and I'd buy it again. It works well and looks great on camera. Easy to overlook the negatives, as proper handling and adjustment makes it a perfect stand.
