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!! ... show more

    • Best Affordable Boom Arm on the Market!
Size: 38" Style: Arm
Review Image by Danny Flanagan Danny Flanagan
I’ve done a ton of research and watched many comparison videos on budget mic arm stands before I made this purchase. You really don’t get the full experience until you set the stand up yourself, and boy this stand does not disappoint whatsoever. The Samson MBA38 feels professional from the moment you open up the box. The build quality is tough and durable, and extremely easy to set up. The 38 inch variant feels like it was made for my setup. You do have to loosen it a bit to get the right mobility when positioning it to your desired preference. Out of the box you should have no issues getting it setup within a few minutes. I also love that they include a few Velcro straps for cable management. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and it is definitely cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else I’ve seen it. I am very happy I took the time to research Mic stands before purchasing, and you can’t go wrong with the Samson brand, they really know what they are doing when building a quality product that will hold up for a really long time. This is going to look really nice with my Samson studio headphones, and already looks amazing with my new Shure MV7 microphone. ... show more

    • Sturdy & Steady

Review Image by JC JC
Using this to position a Samson G-Track Pro for all kinds of recording situations and works fine. Supports the weight of the mic without any problems and keeps it in place nice and steady. Didn’t have to purchase a mic mount converter to attach the mic to the boom.

    • Pretty good boom arm
Size: 38" Style: Arm
Great boom arm. Feels sturdy and made of good quality. Definitely supports the Samson G Track Pro microphone with no issues. The base of the boom arm sits behind my monitor, and I am able to move the microphone forward toward me without the microphone getting in the way or being seen on camera. The boom does come with a few cable management velcro straps which is nice. I did have to add several of my own velcro straps just to make the cable look neater. I'm not sure if this is normal, but the "arm" part can be lifted off of the base (Which is held in place to a desk with a standard C-clamp). Not really an issue since the arm would never be lifted off anyway, but it does feel a little wobbly. Doesn't have any bearing on the rotation of the arm, but just feels a little off. Not a big deal since the whole package works just as it should. Definitely better than the cheaper generic boom arms out there. The difference can surely be seen and felt. Great boom arm if you're looking for something a little more robust and if you have a microphone that is a little on the heavier side. There are also other options out there for this boom arm in terms of size. Samson has a smaller and a larger size boom arm than this one if so desired. Glad I made this purchase. ... show more

    • Trying to make it work
Size: 18" Style: Arm
Review Image by TruzPazz_DaKornrzOfUrMind TruzPazz_DaKornrzOfUrMind
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
