mantona 31cm Tripod Boom Extension Arm

Product Information

The PSA1+ is the ultimate studio boom arm for podcasters, streamers and broadcasters. Its innovative parallelogram spring design ensures ultra-smooth movement and precise microphone placement in any position, while its fully damped internal springs and neoprene arm cover eliminate mechanical noise for completely silent operation. Integrated cable management ensures your setup is tidy and its extended reach and full 360-degree rotation make it easy to position your microphone exactly where it needs to be. Take your content to the next level. Key Features: The AT2020 excels at voice over recording for podcasters, gamers, YouTubers, and others. It does record the voice expressively and accurately. As a result, several mic stands are built to be used on a desk. Ideally you'd do something fixed, like a crossbar between two stands. But this requires cobbling together something, and transport might be rough if you ever have to head to location. The disadvantages are that these things really are not designed to mount cameras on and the two telescoping sections column rotates.

The booms I recommend are the “Mini- Boom” from either Manfrotto Avenger or MSEGrip.com. Both are essentially C-stand columns with a grip head welded to the lower column. Today, the majority of mic stands are free-standing. Their purpose is to act as a mount for your microphone so that you don't have to hold it in your hand. You've probably never seen someone in a recording studio hold their mic by hand, this is because it can result in unwanted vibrations that ruin the take. Essentially a shorter, desktop version of a standard, round-base mic stand, the On Stage DS7200QRB embodies the phrase ‘everything you need and nothing you don’t’. Its 5.9” / 150mm-diameter steel base weighs in at a hefty 2.9lb / 1.3kg, making it sturdy enough to support the heaviest of mics without fear of toppling over. Our new price match policy guarantees you the same price as other retailers so you’re alway getting the best deal possible... This requires a very sturdy stand. I’d go with a heavier duty wide base three legged stand over a C-stand and on the camera mount end you’ll need an adapter with a 5/8-inch (AKA “baby pin”) receiver on one end and either a 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 threaded screw on the other. My advice is to mount a tripod head on that adapter so you have control of where the camera is pointing.So, while there are several microphones stands available, the real question you should ask yourself is, "What do I really require from my mic stand?" If you need a mic stand that you can carry with you everywhere you go, the MS-12 is the way to go. If you are preparing to record vocals for a musician, the K&M 21090 is a good option. Of course, if you are going to use the AT2020 on your desk, one of the clamping choices could be better. You cannot go wrong, no matter which path you take! Two approaches: adapt a boom arm used for lighting or use the kind of jib used for video work. I have recommendations for both.

First and foremost, we are musicians, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best mic stands on the market right now. Microphone stands have existed for over 100 years. Nobody actually "invented" them since some of the first microphones had undetachable stands built into the mics themselves. The concept of a stand came along with the invention of the microphone. The Hercules Tripod Base Hideaway Boom Stand MS533B is a sturdy number that’s designed for speed and convenience. At first glance, it appears to be just a simple, single-pole stand with a tripod base, albeit one with a nifty one-handed, squeezable EZ clutch to facilitate rapid height adjustments.A camera Jib. This is probably the better tool for this purpose as it mounts to a sturdy tripod you may already own. And this is what I use after trying the other approach for a number of years. Finally, we step away from the desk stands and into something more important. The K&M 21090 is a tripod-base mic stand with a boom handle. Obviously, this would take up a lot more space in your room than a desk-mounted stand. It can, however, provide you with a lot more versatility in your setup. While having such a large mic stand can seem excessive at first, it is the only stand on this list that allows you to record while standing up. TBH anything - i.e. a boom arm on a kit stand - intended for lights, will be a sore disappointment for this task. They're wobbly, and not designed to accept a proper tripod head and QR plate. Pole: The main part of the stand that rises up from the base, the pole is usually height-adjustable by way of the clutch. Loosening the clutch will allow you to raise an internal pole of a smaller diameter to increase the stand’s height.
