Gator Frameworks Deluxe Desk-Mounted Broadcast Microphone Boom Stand For Podcasts & Recording; Integrated XLR Cable (GFWBCBM3000)

I used to use a cheap boom arm with external springs. It was quite light, and the connections were poor quality.I did some research (mostly YouTube reviews) and the Gator Frameworks boom arm looked like the one for me.It is far superior to my original cheap boom. It's longer, quieter, sturdier and looks better. It has an integrated XLR cable, which is great because I was about to spend €20 on another cable.It comes with 2 desk mounts - one is a C clamp, that's the one I'm using, and it's very solid. The other is circular mount that screws into the desktop - long screws are provided. I haven't used it but I'm assuming the quality is as good as the rest of the kit.Overall, this is a high quality mic boom arm, well worth the money in my opinion.

I bought this hoping it would easily carry the Shure SM7B mic as it is quite a heavy mic. And it does with ease. It’s super easy to setup and cones with both a screw plate and a clamp mount.The arm is easy to turn and reposition as needed. Because it is quite a chunky build with its hidden ergonomics design, it has space for putting logos of sponsors on.It also comes with a built in XLR which is also good quality. It’s also fairly easy to take out and insert a new XLR cable if needed.

The lack of instructions were surprising for a premium stand at this cost, but after setting up, the stand feels robust. Pairs well with the Shure SM7B microphone, and the integrated XLR cable is handy. No complaints about the build quality.

Not cheap but certainly the mount to have for the SM7B. You might as well buy this first rather than last. Looks the business too. Great quality and very pleased with it.

I bought the boom arm for its manoeuvrability but didn’t realise the fatal flaw in the design. There is no way to replace the cable. The cable has a cheap connector for the mic comes packed in a manner that causes kinks. By the time I got my CloudLifter for my Shure SM7B, it was too late to return the boom arm. Cable causes a lot of high-pitched noise on what is a perfectly clean signal when I use a different XLR cable (Mogami with Neutrik). A waste of money. Very disappointed. I thought it was a safe bet because Joe Rogan used it.

Really good robust mic stand, if its a permanent fixture then you can screw the base onto your desk which gives it that 100% sturdy feel

This is perfect for SM7B Mic. I would say it’s tailored for SM7B. Sturdiness is what matters as the mic itself is quite heavy so the desk mount does the job perfectly.

Just buy the Elgato arm, cheaper and better then this expensive mess, you can barely move the arm how you like and for £132 its not even close to a budget arm!!!

Buen soporte para micrófono, los materiales son fuertes, es acero y aguanta sin problema el peso. Buena movilidad.

I decided to upgrade my recording setup this month. As the investment kept rising I found it easy to justify a boom arm upgrade...I had one of the cheaper boom arms you could buy on Amazon, it came in at a little more than 1/3 the price of this one. And while it did the job, it felt and looked cheap and was extremely stiff. It was also a bit short.This Gator Frameworks 3000 remedies all of that. It looks great, operates almost effortlessly and smoothly. And if you are upgrading to a mic that needs an XLR cable like I did, it includes a nice and long XLR cable, saving you about $20. It's a great value even without the cable, this makes it a no-brainer.The cable runs through the inside of the boom arm. This makes for a nice clean look. But, as far as I can tell, to change out the cable you'd have to run a naked cable through a small hole in the bottom, disassemble the stand to run the cable through (not too difficult) and then solder/crimp/however-you-attach-an-XLR-connector. I show a pic of the only spot I found that would require the connector to be attached after assembling. I suppose you could Dremel the top of that hole off and you'd be able to run your cable with the connectors attached. Maybe. (Hole close up shown in pic.)All this cable talk leads me to the one little gripe I have about this unit. The whole unit is black. So why, oh why, did we have to use a silver XLR connector on this cable? The reason it bothers me is that when on video if I have the mic in real close, that silver connector jumps out and draws attention. Without it the whole unit would just blend in and be much less noticeable. Tiny gripe, I know. I'll be painting the outside of the connector and my trauma will soon be forgotten.*** Note about the desk mount: I'm using the desk mount from my old boom arm, the pins are the same size. The mounts that come with this unit are awesome though! Very robust. It comes with one that can be screwed to the desk top — I might end up using that one. The other one is a really solid desk clamp, it just won't fit where I have my unit located, in a small crack between the desk and a desk extension I have my phone on.

A entrega foi rápida e o material é muito bom. Recomendo!

Dont think, just buy it, its worth it!

El material es muy bueno, fiable para montar micrófonos.
