Millenium MA-2050

There's two main issues with the mount:

1. It comes with it's own cable, that doesn't seem particularly good in quality, and cannot really be replaced as it goes inside the frame.

2. At certain angles you end up having to fight the mount, the springs are constantly trying to put it in an angle you don't want it in.

Additionally some bits of the frame are perfect for cutting cables, if you accidentally end up with a cable between some of the moving bits you can kiss goodbye to the cable.

Other than that it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Put it on the edge of your table and you can swivel your mic around a fair bit.

It could be a bit longer in reach as well, but I wouldn't say it's a significant issue with this product - I'm sure I could just find a longer arm if I really needed a mount with a longer arm.

I got this to put a microphone on my desk, because except for recording music, I spend a lot of time on voice chats for gaming (and I hate the microphones on gaming headsets) and recording podcasts/courses/... This helped me to safe a lot of space and I have no trouble anymore with microphone stands for easy set ups when I just need 1 microphone for (spoken) voice recording.

Very straight forward product: use it right out of the box, some options on how to connect it to your desk, sturdy,... The only con I can find is the somewhat cheap XLR cable integrated in it and no way to exchange with other cables that I own. Nothing too bad of course, but this might be an obstacle.

I am using this microphone arm for quite some years now. It has proven itself very useful and diverse over the time and adapted to my various hobby studio changes very well.

While one has to acknowledge, that this is not a professional arm and is definitely not something to work flawlessly with, it has everything a mic stand needs. The included XLR cable was quickly swapped with a USB one to fit a Rode NT USB with shock-mount Its accompanied accessories for mounting the stand to pretty much any place are a huge plus for hobby studios that change a lot and depend on a flexible setup.

There are still some drawbacks though:
-One may not move the mic stand while recording since it tends to do some screeching noises while doing so.
-Getting the mic into the right position is quite a "frickely" task to do since its frame is a little bendy.
-When moving the mic a lot, the fixating screws tend to loosen themselves and have to be re-tightened every so often.

In conclusion this stand is an absolute bang for the buck. While it has a few drawbacks i personally would still buy it again for its flexibility of use.

I bought this to use with several microphones from my desk - primarily vocal microphones, a røde m2, a pencil condenser - no problems at all.
Also comes with no less than 3 mounting options AND screws for your desk.

Why four stars?:
my only possible criticism is that the main locking screw on the microphone mount itself could be constructed a little better.
Even when it's at it's tightest it's still possible to rotate it side to side,
So if you're using a top-heavy microphone at a 90-degree angle, you may have an issue.

If you're using light microphones such as handhelds, pencil condensers, etc - go for it, it's perfect :)
