In short, this is why I am recommending it for this category.
This boom arm strikes everything I would be looking for in my first purchase (price, aesthetics, durability, weight load, etc.). It has an impressive weight load of 5 lbs. It holds just as much as the best microphone boom arms. This is great for bigger home studio setups. The Samson models offer different arm lengths and sizes as well for their boom arms. In other words, it will meet your requirements or expectations. The boom arm is rotatable up to 360 degrees, and the arms are also flexible up to 180 degrees. The screw adapter has a 315-degree range. The stand comes equipped with a standard 5/8-inch screw metal adapter, which makes it compatible with a Blue Yeti microphone product. The downside is that you cannot strap in your XLR cable to the frame so the cable will be loose. Compared to other boom arms, this one has a durable aluminum alloy structure, which makes it much sturdier and durable than its predecessors. The mic stand comes equipped with double-braced arms that allow it to excel in multiple situations. It also includes a table mounting clamp so you can set it up on your desk. The Samson MBA28 Microphone Boom Arm comes with a flexible suspension boom scissor arm made of firm metal and strong springs. However, for the price of this stand, the Rode PSA1 is not a budget-friendly stand to buy, but it is the finest overall heavy duty boom arm that I can recommend, perfect for heavier microphones. It can be considered cost-effective by going this route.
Chances are, if you get this microphone stand, you will not need to upgrade it for a very long time. It also comes with a table mounting clamp for an easy set up on your desk. It also includes a 2-axis swivel-mount, which allows you to place the microphone suspension boom arm in any position you wish to set it in. You can effortlessly move it around (rotates 360 degrees). It even allows you to manage your XLR cable and tie it to the mic arm itself. You don’t have all the excess noise that occurs if you bump it by accident as do the budget-friendly alternatives. It’s a little bit bigger, the arm is a little bit sturdier, and the joints are all high quality. The Rode PSA1 is usually the go-to microphone stand to get as it holds up very well in terms of quality.
