This little boom does the job. It's small, light weight, compact, and unlike other booms with tension based adjustment screws and rubber washers; this one locks in place with two sets of tight fitting locking teeth and a big fat screw knob (nothing to strip). There is a metal washer in beween the two sets of "teeth." Doesn't have any counterweight so the sturdiness and weight of the stand it's attached to will determine how heavy a microphone and clip or suspension mount it will accommodate.

I bought it to salvage a slightly broken mic stand I got for free from work so for $7 I have an extra usable stand and boom. Not bad, eh?

One of my conventional booms just broke because of cheap plastic parts that couldn't handle the stress of being tightened repeatedly. I came across these and after reading the reviews figured I didn't have much to lose with a $7 price tag. I was very glad I made the purchase and I'm going to order a couple more of this model and the 13" model. It's steel construction except for the oversized nylon knob used to adjust the angle and hold the boom in place. It's solidly built and I don't imagine it will break easily. The two pieces that move against each other have teeth, so once the angle is set and the knob tightened, it will not slip. Get the 13" if you want to reach amps sitting on the floor from a conventional stand. 7" is great because it allows you to sing with an acoustic guitar without the extra length.

I ran across this thing a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. I'd been looking for a boom attachment for a non-boom stand because I play guitar and sing. This seemed perfect, and it is. Regular booms have always been a necessary evil, in my book. They can be helpful, but also take up too much "air space" on cramped stages or in small rehearsal spaces. This thing gives you plenty of room to get the stand out of the way without making an annoyance of itself. The other thing I like is that the elbow where it adjusts has teeth that interlock, so you're not just tightening a joint and relying on friction - as those are the kind of things that eventually fail once the tightening bolt gets tired.

Anyway - no reservations about this one. A dead-simple idea that works great.

This is a tough unit, easy to set and locks tight. The materials are robust.

In a home studio there is never a lot of room and I didn't want a big boom hanging off the other side of my mic stand. This fit the bill perfectly. On the package there is an illustration of this being used at the end of a long boom to hang a mic in the perfect possition, and yeah, one could totally do that with this.

This is a simple device and no corners were cut in its manufacture.

I love boom stands for allowing room to hold a guitar between yourself and the mic stand. however, on stage the non mic side of the boom sticks out and can get in the way. It can also spoil the aesthetics of your stage layout.

This little beauty solves the problem. Sure it isn't as versatile as a full boom mic but that isn't why I bought it. After using it on stage for a show, I plan to buy at least two more. The positive lock is great. I have no regrets or complaints on this unit.

This little gadget is perfect if you want to stand back from your mic stand just far enough to make it comfortable to play your guitar while you sing into the mic. The usual solution is to get a boom to attach to your stand but this works and it's simpler, less expensive and takes up less space. The pivot is controlled by a friction joint which you can adjust. I wouldn't try to use it if I were a singing drummer, but for a guitarist, it's great.

I have a Shure 55s vintage looking microphone. I wanted a small boom arm for the stand. I hate the extra arm sticking out the back on most of them. It has a very nice clean look on stage and worked very well. Also got the quick release clip for my Shure as it has to screw into a stand instead of a normal clamp like most.

As the creator of the The Porta-Booth Pro - Your Recording Studio At Home and on the Road and the original Porta-Booth - Portable Sound Studio I searched everywhere for a device like this. When you want to use a Porta-Booth product standing up and mounted on a microphone boom arm you need a "drop pipe" device to hang your microphone from. Other products I found were ridiculously expensive but this 'mini-boom arm' is the perfect size and the perfect price. On-Stage Stands makes this screw-on model and a clamp=on version (which a has a bit more flexibility) and both are solid, stable, easily installed and adjusted and just perfect for my application and many other times when you need a simple way of attaching a microphone to a mic stand, I recommend this highly!
