The Auray BAI-2U is an excellent, sturdy boom arm that comes with a 15″ riser. Runs about $130 but is worth every cent.

You can take a cheap boom arm like the Neewer and beef it up by replacing the springs with heavier ones from the hardware store. There are two pairs of springs, and oddly, Home Depot carries one replacement and you have to find the other one at Lowes.

HI,

Thanks for the article. I have got a RE320 microphone with a Shock mount. Which mic stand should I go for? I checked the Rode, but it is slightly costly. Can I go for any of the tripod stands like the Konig & Meyer 25400 Boom Mic Stand? Or should I stick only to ones that attach to the table?

Thanks for updating the Article in 2017 about the boom arm. How bout 2018? Majority of reviews say to steer clear from the cheap boom arms…

I am getting a ATR-2011 Audio Technica microphone. You think the Neewer would be ok?

The Blue Yeti is q very heavy microphone so the boom arm needs to be one that can support it’s weight.

I have used the Yeti on one of the cheaper boom arms that Colin recommends.

As long as the boom arm has tightening screws which stiffen up the arm then you should be ok.

You do not need the shock mount to connect the Blue Yeti to any Boom Arm but without one you will find that you may get some vibration noise through the Mic.

Hi! I’m going to buy the Blue© Yeti from a site in my country called lazada. Since NEEWER isn’t a brand catered in that site or in any store in my country, I was wondering if I can use this mic in any suspension boom or stand even without the Shock Mount. In the link below are the brands which the site cater. It would be a really great help to me if you would be able to answer. Thank you!!! 🙂 http://www.lazada.com.ph/catalog/?q=Suspension+arm+mic
