Others Had Better Watch Out!!
Set name: 38"
DISCLAIMER: I am a verified purchaser of this product, and I have in no way been compensated, or received any benefit from Amazon, the manufacturer or any other party for the review I have written. A Word of Caution: Be very careful when you are reading posted reviews. I have found that some people are mistakenly reviewing products other than the one featured. This can be very confusing when you are trying to decide on a product. When reading, if you find that the details they are describing in their review don't seem to make sense, or match up with the product you are researching, it could be that they are actually reviewing the wrong product, and YOU could potentially miss out on a great one. Now, with that out of the way . . . THIS THING IS GREAT!! The first thing I noticed when I first picked up the box was how heavy it was. Once I opened the box, I could understand why. This is no flimsy, cheap aluminum microphone boom! It has heft, girth and feels solid. You don't at all have to worry that it'll come apart in your hands under normal usage. In fact, you'll probably break your desk before you break this boom (more on that later). It is taller and longer than most other booms in the same price range, thus giving you countless positioning options. I love the fact that all of the mechanical components of this unit (springs, bolts, etc.) are hidden from view. It gives the boom a very sleek, if not elegant look. You can even route the mic cord through the inside of the frame if the point of connection is small enough on at least one end of the cable. I could not do this because my microphone's USB-A plug was too large, and the USB-C end has a cable interference resistor attached. I zip-tied the cable neatly along the framework, and (IMHO) it is hardly noticeable). Either way, you could expect to pay much more for this kind of styling and functionality. Others have commented on the fact that the boom tension is very tight. To that, I will say: "THE BOOM TENSION IS VERY TIGHT!!" You will work your biceps nicely to reposition it. I first tried loosening the hex screw at each joint position, but this had no effect. I then took a chance and applied a touch of WD-40 to the spring positions (see photos), and then worked it out a bit. After a couple of flexes, it began to loosen up to the point I was not fearful of damaging my desk in the process. AUTHOR DISCLAIMER/WARNING: DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE!! If you do, it'll just automatically straighten out and stand erect, and it'll be impossible to keep the upper arm in any fixed position. You may also potentially void any warranty. The manufacturer-provided clamp is hefty and sturdy. But, this also made it a bit too bulky for my taste. I chose to use the screw-mount option also provided by the manufacturer. If you choose to mount directly to the top of a desk or counter, I would not recommend screw-mounting to anything other than a solid surface (at least 1.5" thick) using the 1" screws provided. A previous reviewer also stated that they'd ruined their IKEA desk top as a result of the tight tension of boom arm. Fortunately, I'd read this before I bought it since my desk is also from IKEA. Personally, I found the overall footprint of the mounting base (2.25" diameter) to be a bit small given the size of the boom arm itself. Considering the height, weight and the aforementioned tension of the entire assembly, I replaced the three 1" screws provided with three #10 machine screws with matching nut and 1.25" dia. washer. So far, it is holding up VERY well. Although, I did still find myself grasping the base with one hand whenever I moved the boom forward or backward horizontally, ESPECIALLY until the boom tension had eased a bit. It would be cool if the manufacturer supplied a screw/nut/washer set (or pre-drilled 3-holed underside plate) to give you one more way to firmly secure the base. All in all, the Samson MBA38 rivals anything out there. For the price, you can't go wrong. I'm glad I took a chance on the underdog. This dog CAN hunt!! PROS: - Professional quality at a budget price - Solid construction - Sleek and aesthetically pleasing design - Easy to install - Multiple installation options - Great range of motion CONS: - Boom Arm tension coming from the factory is EXTREMELY tight - Desk clamp is very bulky - A machine screw/nut/washer assembly or underplate would be more secure for desktop mounting ENJOY!!

Solid and Dependable!
Set name: 28"
I have purchased three of these stands over the course of about three years and they have all been fantastic. Two are wall mounted--one for a Rhode NT2A and another for a foam mic baffle. This most recent one is a desk mounted Rhode Podmic. All the mics are a little over 2 lbs. The wall mounted ones haven't moved any/at all since I mounted them, which is why I mounted them, so, perfect. My only small note is that while the wall mount comes with screws, it does not come with anchors, so you would need to buy your own. I went through several other desk-mounted mic stands for the Podmic before I came back to this one. Every other desk mounted stand rated for up to 3lbs could not hold that mic up or still at all, even after tightening joints with the Allen wrenches that came with the stands. The grip on those desk mounts would also slide all over the place over being tightened. Not so with this stand! The desk grip was easy to install and is totally solid. The stand hasn't moved an inch where I don't want it to, either vertically or horizontally. I also don't hear the springs stretch at all when I do have to move it. This thing is solid and does exactly what it will. If I ever need another stationary mic stand I don't think I'll bother with another brand from here on out.

This is what a boom arm should be like, but...
Set name: 38"
I have the Samson G-Track Pro, the shock mount, the pop filter and, of course, now the boom arm. I did my research on YouTube, Twitter, Google etc. to get the best value for my money. Or at least I hoped I did... The G-Track Pro blew me away with the quality but also with the weight it comes with. The foot of the mic is a heavy beast as it should be so you won't easily tip it off your table. I decided to try it out first before spending the cash on the boom arm, and although I love the stand and I will definitely use it on occasion, the boom arm really felt like a necessity for my crowded desk. The boom arm 38' is sturdy and feels worth every dollar. It looks good on my desk and the mic is within reach without getting in the way, but... I'm happy I was so smart to buy the shock mount as well, because I wouldn't know how to attach the mic to the boom arm without it. It ended up looking dope, feeling professional and safe. But I stressed for two minutes thinking I ordered the whole boom arm two the Caribbean without the means to attach the mic, till I remembered I had bought the shock mount previously without knowing what it was or what I should do with it. The cable that comes with the mic runs perfectly form the bottom (now upside down) of the mic along the boom arm to a USB adapter I have on my desk. The pop filter so far feels very unnecessary and also a little bit excessive. The mic is of such good quality that after several recording I can't really hear pops that need a pop filter. Also, the filter is so small, that unless you talk with your lips on the mic, it wouldn't do much anyway. I've been using the mic for a couple of months now and the boom arm for a couple of weeks, and I recommend it to everyone. It's good for calls (I do a lot of online coaching and international calls) and good for broadcasting podcasting and webinars. There is no disappointment from my side towards Samson yet. The only thing that would be an improvement is if you good adjust the ring of the shock mount together with the mic if you're sitting slightly sideways in front of the mic.

A winner in my book.
Set name: 38"
In my experience I found this crane style arm to be very useful in my home office. The bending function is very smooth in use and the mic mount is made well enough to recommend even heavy mics with. However... This is a bit of a gray area, but I think some people can find it to be useful info. 1) Where the crane inserts into the clamp mount is not the most robust design in my opinion and can be improved upon. If you're like me and have a tendency to move the mic around pretty frequently I would be cautious of this point being a weakness. The permanent desk mount that comes with it would be the best option and should create a better base. 2) The clamp itself is good but again isnt the best for someone who isn't shy about moving the mic around. I'm not a big fan of being so gentle with my equipment. If you like to set it and forget then it shouldn't be too much a problem for you. Altogether I would give this stand/mount a strong recommendation to those out there looking for a low cost, durable option. Just make sure to consider the two details that I've mentioned. Take care! Update: 9/12/24 This thing is still in great shape and get this... It even holds a Podmic! Crazy! I'm not sure if the design quality has changed since my original purchase but I can tell you that the fact it can indeed hold a Podmic and confidently should give you an idea of what you're getting.

Amazing Mic Arm for the price!
Set name: 38"
Great mic arm, just be aware of how it works. Great mic arm for the money. It’s quiet, sturdy, and has internal springs for a much cleaner look. Unfortunately, it won’t work for my current setup because my built-in desk requires me to mount it pretty close to where I sit. Just be aware that the position shown in my photos is as far back as the arm will lean. It won’t compress down or out any farther than that. Otherwise, it’s a great arm for the price.

Surpassed all expectations
Set name: 28"
As someone who bought a super cheap mic arm from Amazon a few years ago, I was in dire need of an upgrade especially since it literally broke in half. This mic arm was my first choice for several reasons including size, looks, and name attached. Samson is a very respectable brand in the audio space and their quality extends to this arm. This arm feels EXTREMELY well-made and practically everything is metal or super thick plastic, nothing about this arm would let you know that it is only 35 dollars. This arm comes with 2 mounting options, one is a permanent mouse which involves drilling a hole in the desk, and mounting with 3 included screws. I opted for the second mounting option which is a super high-quality C clamp that is ridiculously nice. The C part of the clamp is made of metal and feels very nice, the actually screw that is used to clamp down is thick with a very nice soft rubber/plastic end that will make sure not to damage your desk. The part that touches the top of your desk has a large surface area and soft bottom which ensures that your desk won't be damaged. Out of the box, the arm is VERY STIFF, which is a complaint that many people have, but you can actually adjust this by unscrewing the 3 joints of the arm, under the cover plates you will see 2-3 screws at each joint, you can loosen these and it will make the arm much easier to use. Also, these screws may be very tight, I had to use pliers to get enough leverage to unscrew them so just be aware of this. When you get the arm adjusted just how you like though it is a dream to use and feels like an arm that costs 2-3 times its actual price. I very highly recommend this arm.

Well Built!
Set name: 48"
If you need a long microphone boom arm? This is it. For the price, it's just as good (if not a little better) than the Rode boom arm. I have owned the Rode arm and it eventually broke after about 2 years. My smaller Samson arm has survived perfectly fine after 2 years. I only got this one because I wanted the additional reach/ height. It is strong and could easily hold heftier microphones, though some of the largest/ heaviest options could potentially be at the limit. For a standard mic size/ weight though? This is perfect and easy to use. Overall? This is a solid choice!

A good buy
Set name: 28"
It's exactly as described. Arrived promptly, easy to setup and seems sturdy enough. The tension on the internal springs is a little tight so adjusting the height/position/angle takes some effort. I came across some reviews that said something this produce being able to rotate 360 degrees. Keep in mind, the whole thing rotates 360 degrees -- in the base. The microphone, however, only pivots up and down. So I'll be adding swivel ball tripod mount to get the full range of motion. Overall, I'm very pleased.
