We find that the TONOR arms make for really good solutions when you are on a budget, or simply don't want to spend some of the asking prices of the big names (which can get pretty silly when you compare price to materials). Typically, TONOR products are quite reasonable when it comes to asking price, which is what really helps to drive their success and our usage around the office.
This specific arm comes with an updated design that appears to mostly be centered around the clamp (which is a good thing). The clamp feels a lot more sturdier in design and looks nicer too. Where some of the older models we have kicking around on various projects feature a much smaller clamp which can cause it to wiggle around a bit after so many times of maneuvering the arm around. With the extended portion of the bottom of the clamp that reaches under the surface of whatever you are attaching it to, you can slide a block of wood in there (or come up with your own solution) to help stabilize it further if the arm gets a lot of use or a heavy mic at the end. Can't say for sure if that's what it is for, but the idea floated in the back of our minds.
It does come with a pop filter with gooseneck and also a foam windscreen for a large condenser-style microphone.
The only catch is we found that this arm took a little more effort to move around right out of the box. Thankfully, a drop of oil here and there and that's all it took to get it moving around just like the rest.
This one came with a small mic clip for regular handhelds or small condensers, and you have adapters so you can use the threads of the arm for any other clip or mount you need to connect to it. Those additional clips/mounts would have to be supplied by you though (ie, if you were using a large condenser for example).
