  It is excellent! Very good build quality, beautiful, and above all, it does its job perfectly! Before this, I had a 16€ mic arm and after a year of use, it completely collapsed.

  I have not tried other arms, but I am sure that I will not need to, having acquired this Rode arm. Excellent in everything!!! Stability, ease of use + installation, sufficient length, unlimited range of adjustments until the suitable position is found, etc.! No need to screw/unscrew the arms every time you want to change position, nothing like that. You grab it, turn it, lower/raise it wherever you want, without much hassle. It can be easily removed from its base without any screwing and it rotates 360 degrees. I use it for desktop videography (above my head). The only thing you will need if you want to use it for such purposes is a high-quality and sturdy ballhead tripod head with a quick release plate, so that the camera can easily and securely attach and be rotated wherever you want (you will definitely have to spend around 40 euros for that). Of course, the surface where you will place the arm must be completely stable and not wobbly. Also, be careful not to cause any damage or hit it during use, because the springs always pull the arm to fully open every time there is no weight on it (i.e., every time a microphone or camera is not placed on it). The only drawback for me is this, because when the arm is open it takes up space (I remove it from its base when I am not using it). And one more piece of information: the screw on the arm where the microphone/camera/etc. attaches has a size of 3/8".

  I already had one, and I bought a second one. In the first one, I have an AKG microphone, and it is very stable. The second one I bought to put on top of the mirrorless camera, it is the best in terms of convenience. You pull it normally, turn it, and put it to record. Very convenient and very stable! For such use, it requires a camera head to attach properly. As for the microphone, there is no discussion, it is also very stable.

  Unfortunately, fortunately, depending on how one sees it, this specific arm is another good example of "you get what you pay for". I was anxious searching for reviews online for cheaper solutions for an NT1 compatible arm. Eventually, I decided to go to REDUCTED and get a Rode to have peace of mind.
  Easy assembly, perfect grip in the position I want, completely silent even if I hit the table. Anyone looking for a quality arm and can afford it, should do it without hesitation.

  Very good build quality! It fits on the Razer Seiren Mini, it just doesn't sit stable because it needs weight!! Meaning a heavier microphone!
  Excellent!

  Very sturdy construction and convenient size, however, after a few months of use, it started creaking quite a bit to the point where it was annoying and could be heard on the microphone.
  It also loosened quite a bit to the point where even though the screws were tightened all the way, it couldn't hold my microphone (Rode NT-1) and if I didn't stabilize it in a "perfect" position, the stand would stretch and lift the microphone up, even though the Mic wasn't light enough for me to have an issue.

  I switched to the Blue Compass.

  For those who ask if it fits the razer seiren mini, the stand has an adapter inside that can hold the microphone on top and there is no issue!
  Just bought it, probably it needs adjustment or the springs are defective and it doesn't stay in the desired position. As a result, I have used Tire Up to keep it stable in the spot I want.

  I have had it for at least 3-4 years and it works great! It solved my hands because it doesn't take up space on the desk and honestly it doesn't bother me even during use.

  Good morning, guys. Regarding the boom arm of Rode named PSA 1...

  It is a crane that reaches 82-91 centimeters in any direction, 360 degrees, and supports 700-1100 grams of microphones. It comes with accessories such as a pop filter, shock mount, and XLR cable. Only time will tell if it was a good purchase, and a review will also be provided. It fits in desks with a thickness of up to 55 millimeters. The set also includes a socket screw for permanent installation in desks that you would like to drill into!

  The positives: it doesn't creak. It didn't require adjusting the spring resistance to stay stable where I placed it, as the springs are hidden internally, so they are not affected by room humidity or dust. Therefore, they have better durability and may not creak over time. For now, it is quiet and very convenient. It also maintains the angle and tilt of the microphone no matter how you move it, as the semi-boom arms function like scissors.

  Negatives: The price is a bit high. Okay, I would also suggest those who buy from abroad to consider Neewer, where the only difference is the external springs instead of hidden ones. For me, it is still a good investment, and I won't deduct a star due to the quality and the intact box it arrived in!

  There is also a relevant unboxing and installation video on YouTube that I made:
