Gator Frameworks Short Weighted Base Microphone Boom Arm Stand with Clamp-On Single Layer Pop Filter (GFW-MIC0821-POP), Black

I needed a way to support a desktop microphone without a C-clamp -- the desk I have doesn't really have a place to attach one. Plus I wanted the flexibility of being able to place it anywhere for different scenarios. The Gator stand is the perfect solution for me.First off, this thing is HEAVY. Between the cast iron base and the boom counterweight, I'd say it weighs probably 25 pounds. It is fully adjustable, which is nice. The main pole has a regular twist-clutch locking mechanism and extends from about 7" (not including the base) to about 15". The boom pole is about 20" and can telescope out at least another 12". The boom counterweight is a nice touch for heavier mics to take stress off of the boom arm clutch. I have it balanced at about the halfway point with an MXL V67t tube condenser with shockmount. The cable clips are a nice touch too.The only complaint I have is that the main pole wants to unscrew from the base when you loosen the height adjustment clutch. It's not really a problem for me because I never really need to adjust the height. If it were, I would probably take a pair of vise grips and really crank it down onto the base.Overall, though, it is sturdy, compact, and looks nice holding my mic on my desk.

I love this Mic stand. Perfect on the grand piano and super well made. Sturdy and so easy to manipulate as you are singing live. The value for the $ is fantastic.

This is a heavy and sturdy (so far) microphone boom that comes with a heavy 10 lb base (with rubber padding at the bottom) that keeps it stable on your desk.The boom arm can extend out as much as 27.5" from the central pole. However, the 2.5lb counterbalancing weight was not enough to counter balance my Rode NT-USB microphone with the arm extended out 18", so I ended up adding some ring weights - a total of four 1.25lb weights - these take up 2.5" on the counterbalancing side of the boom. You just unscrew the 2.5lb weight on that end and slip in the ring weights and screw the counterweight back on and push the counterbalancing end all the way to the center pole and lock it down in that position.The weights:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JTX6NCJ/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1A little bit of E-6000 glue (same stuff as Shoe Goo) helps keep the weights from slipping and sliding around.The Rode microphone originally came with a mount and a tripod, but somewhere along the way I had taken that off and lost it, so I needed a simple microphone mount since this Gator boom doesn't come with any microphone mounts. I ended up getting this one by HANXIANGZI because it was the cheapest one I could find on Amazon that was made of metal:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093BN4TMJ/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&th=1It was a tight fit, but I was able to get this mount to work.So far so good. I now have the microphone exactly like I want it and can just swing the whole thing in and out and up and down with no problems.

Has a few quirks, but overall it seems to work just fine. The base is pretty heavy! The arm can bear moderately heavy weight. I had to install my pop filter with a hair tie as it seemed to put a strain on the stand with the flexible metal attachment. I’m sure if I tightened a bit tighter it would hold it up. The counter weight is essential in my setup, but may not be essential in your case, depending on what kind of mic you use.

I was not planning on spending $60 on a desktop mic stand. The problem is that my current setup would not allow for a traditional Boom Arm as the desk I use has no "lip" to clamp the arm onto and I did not want to drill into the surface to accommodate a flange mount.Thus I began, in earnest, to shop for a weighted base microphone stand that would be substantial enough to hold a Röde NT-1 condenser mic.Most of the $15 - $20 desktop mic stands I viewed seemed flimsy or did not appear to be large enough to have confidence that they would not tip over. As I searched the Gator GFW-MIC-0822 kept appearing and I kept looking at it.The specifications were what I was hoping for, the build quality seemed decent, and the reviews were exceptionally favorable.What finally "sold" me was the option to make three monthly payments. So I ordered it.I am so happy that I did! This thing is a monster! The base weighs 10 pounds and there is a 2.5 pound counter-weight that comes with the stand. My NT-1 is being held steady without fear.The machining is good enough but not exceptional and all the pieces went together without complaint or issue. Three cable clips are included to assist with cable management and they appear to be of good quality, time will tell, but I am not overly concerned.If you are looking for an alternative to clamp-on boom arm mic stands or are considering one of these right from the get-go, I would absolutely recommend it without hesitation.This is the best microphone stand that I currently own and I will be considering Gator Frameworks for all stands in the future. They build sturdy, quality stands and you won't be disappointed when this arrives to your door.It will be heavier than you think, and that is a great thing as far as I am concerned.

I wanted to have a mobile mic setup that I could easily move from desk to desk, so the spring-loaded, clamp-on mic arms were out. I tried another Gator Frameworks stand without the top cross tube (GFW-MIC-0501) and it was badly made and had extremely limited mic position possibilities.Ordered this stand, set it up and immediately I can tell this is a very well made, very versatile desktop mic stand. Of course it's a lot heavier than the cheaper stand I tried first, but it's still quite managable. This stand easily holds a lightweight shotgun mic, or a heavy studio condenser mic on a big shock mount.This is a keeper.

Gran diseño y funcionalidad... De los mejores stands que he usado, funciona genial para los micrófonos pesados como el sm7b y el shure 52

Easy to set up, perfect for my needs..Very happy.

It's expensive in that the other stands that don't really work that well are much cheaper, but is that really expensive or just the cost of something that works? The only thing is that you need desk space for this stand. You need about a metre square of clear desk space to use this stand comfortably. The counterweight is removable, which is actually the key to making this stand work. For my medium condenser mic, I do not need the counterweight at all.

Sumamente estable. Más pesado de lo que imaginaba pero bien. Si te ocupa espacio en tu escritorio
