Until now I have used the Broadcaster Multipoise Boom Arm from Studiospares: https://www.studiospares.com/Accessorie ... lsrc=aw.ds
However, it isn't very good in that the arm doesn't stay fixed when you re position it. No matter how I set it the arm still drops a few cm which is very annoying.
I need a very good quality desktop boom arm so I can shape the stand to any angle for my video recordings. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Desktop broadcasters mic stand
I think this is an area where you tend to get what you pay for. I'd look at the Yellowtec or Canford Heavy-duty mic arms... but they will set you back between £150 and £300...
The canford heavy-duty stand can be locked in place, too, which might appeal.

...not forgetting you'll also need a table base fitment of some sort (listed at the bottom of the pages).

Thanks.
I think I will go for the second one at 120 squids.
Table bracket or G-clamp?
Would this be any good?

Re: Desktop broadcasters mic stand
I have a relatively modest one from one of the budget suppliers - Pulse, Proel, Citronic etc - can't remember which one - which works well and holds my Procaster and shockmount in place and doesn't drift from where I set it. Got it on EBay - about £35 if I recall.

Re: Desktop broadcasters mic stand
Hugh has already answered exactly what I was going to say. :thumbup:
I do like the Yellowtec arms, but they are expensive when compared to the Canford ones.
If you go for the Canford arm (and Canford *do* make excellent products), then I would get the matching Canford table clamp (scroll down to the bottom of Hugh's linked page) - the G-clamp version gives you the flexibility to re-position the arm round the table - the table mounts have to be screwed to the table - the choice is yours.
