RØDE PSA1 Professional Studio Arm

I read many reviews looking for comments about mounting this product on a shelf located above & in front of my workspace, but couldn't find any, so I'm providing this review as a courtesy to others looking for the same.I'm pleased to discover that this mic arm works perfectly because it stays put when you retract or extend the mic arm. I was concerned about the weight, but no issues there. The reach length is also great and easily goes downward below the shelf. When I'm not using it, I just push it upward out of the way. I like that it doesn't occupy any desk surface, and I'm not bumping into it with my elbow. Plus the mounting clamp is thick sturdy metal, not plastic.Just be sure if you do a setup like this, that your shelf is secured well to the wall studs and the shelf itself is sturdy. My mic arm is mounted approx. 3ft from where I sit and the shelf is about 2.5ft above my desk. I adjusted the distance of the mount from my desk chair to get it perfect, which is easy to do because the clamp mounting bracket is easy to move.When pushed up, the arm folds & the mic is at the same level as the shelf, and pulled down, the mic is directly in front of my mouth for speaking. I used closet shelving with basic "L" brackets from the big box hardware store for my library because it was cheaper & easier than buying furniture/bookshelves.If I need to, I can switch out the Podmic for a boom mic & it will still work nicely. Overall, the mic setup looks & works great mounted with my library, so I'm glad I spent the extra bucks for a quality product. Plus it matches my Rode Podmic! Thanks Rode. ;0)

Love this mic stand, its hold the mic where i need it and doesnt droop randomly like others i have used, its not super stiff but it is very sturdy, its funtions a bit better than expected, im not a huge fan of the RODE logo as its always on camera and im not sponsored by them. Im sure you could cover it. A+ for form and function. I bought it when it was on sale so at that point it was a good value. i mounted mine to the front of my desh as it wont clear the top of my 27" monitors and is not low profile.
