Boom! I like it!
Size: 18"
I can see a lot of different uses for this boom arm. But I'll rate it on what I use it for. I play guitar and lead singing for my Bible study every week. As the years have gone by the group has grown to where I need to bring my guitar amp and a microphone. The problem is that we sit at tables in a large community building ~ so I bought this with that in mind. It's really compact, folding up into a nice size to fit in my amp bag. It's easy to adjust and setup. Functions well, clamping onto the table top (up to 2"). There's plenty of boom and range of motion for a microphone to set up perfectly me sitting a table. Works great, and great price for all that you get! Great idea for a studio! ... show more

Best Boom Arm on Amazon
Size: 18"
I own about 20 mic stands and boom arms. Most are very heavy which seemed like a good idea at the time. This Samson 18 inch is 10x lighter than I could have hoped for, so I am going to travel with this gem. It is exactly what I have been looking for all this time. It can extend very far from my desk if I need to, but most of the time I will keep it minimal as I keep my mic 8 inches from my cheek to avoid all plosives and avoid the promity effect. Build quality is great. No brainer buy. ... show more

Sturdy
Size: 26"
I've needed a boom arm for my mic for aa while now, and it was a pain to find one that fits my samson mic, and overall this was the best choice, my only gripe is that the adjustability is annoying due to having to loosen each joint to move it instead of being hydraulic or have spring tensioners. Great Mounting grip, rubber padded so you don't damage the desk top. Very nice affordable Boom. ... show more

Perfect for my setup
Size: 18"
I purchased this for my Rode PodMic and had some doubts when I ordered it, but its perfect for me, and the extending boom adds just enough distance. If anyone has a PodMic, they know how solid they feel and their weight - 2.06 pounds. It has a 5 pound maximum mic weight capacity. Samson has different sizes but in measuring prior to ordering it, the 18" is fine for me. The various sizes are 18", 28", 38", and 48". Most will probably not need anything past the 28" though. Mostly. I would have liked setting it up on the side of my computer desk but my desk butt's up against the wall so the rear part of the boom arm will hit the wall and was not an option for me. My monitor setup is dual monitors, a 26" inch vertical and a 34" inch horizontal, on a dual-arm monitor mount, so I opted to mount this on one of the arms where there is just enough space gap between the two monitors for the boom to protrude. It supports the weight of the PodMic perfectly. If you need a boom arm like this, I highly recommend it for any podcasters who might be in tight quarters or if you need a portable boom solution when traveling. It's something I will use when traveling since it will easily go into a travel bag or suitcase. Fully retracted it is just about 10.5 inches long. Experiencing the quality and use of this boom arm, I wouldnt mind trying out the 28" or something as needed. Right now, the 18"" is perfect for my desk space. ... show more

Good, shorter mic arm but a little loose in the base
Size: 26"
I needed a shorter and more compact arm that could still hold a heavy mic - and this does. The arm has enough range of motion and adjustment and stays put once tightened. The only disappointment is that the opening in the table clamp is significantly larger than the shaft at the bottom of the arm, so it fits loosely and feels sloppy - it isn't going to fall out, fall over or fail, its just a little floppy when you move the arm - making it a little noisy when you move it as well - Disappointing, as the rest of the arm is well thought out and sturdy - its not a deal breaker but it just gives it a less precise feel and would be so easy to fix. Still, for a short arm in tight spaces and heavy mics, this works well. ... show more

Trying to make it work
Size: 18"
This is my tiny version ur typical studio set-up. I was inneed of a very small studio set-up for traveling purposes. I travel to classrooms, youth center and hopefully afterschool programs. I put together a keyboard stool, Pyle two tier rack, Akai MPC Live 2, M Audio Axion 25, Ashdown Meters headset, and FiFine K688 dynamic mic. Now that my mic has arrived I was in the market for a boomarm. I looked at so many desk top boomarms and the that caught my eye is the Samson MBA18 microphone boomarm. I was inneed of a small but strong boomarm. It made of a sturdy metallic material with some plastic pieces also. The way I have my set-up I use my boomarm in an unorthodox way. Instead of the vertical clamping style, which can't be gone because of the soft cushion of the seat, so I had to apply it horizontally by clamping it to the Pyles rack. Tight fit and it holds some what. Unfortunately for me, when I have to extend the arm the boomarm screw does not give a tight enuf grip to hold the boomarm steady and inplace without it falling down. BUMMER. Eventhough I like this product... I am going to make it work for me. ... show more

I LOVE THIS THING!!!
Size: 18"
I got this to replace a gooseneck mount that needed to fit in a very tight, awkward space. This mount is AWESOME! It is terrific quality and hasn't budged a bit or broken in any way despite being moved around daily for quite a while, and when tightened down, it holds my mic perfectly without sagging. It collapses down very small and has wonderful range of motion because it has so many adjustment points, so it can get very out of the way when you need it to, and can be extended to just where you want it when you do need it. This mount is sturdy, well-designed, and more than worth what I paid for it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a compact, highly adjustable, well-thought-out mic mount. Amazon has millions of cheapo mounts, but this one is great Samson quality and works amazingly well. I haven't seen another mic mount with an even remotely comparable design. ... show more
