Low Profile Mic Arm Stand-BM88

This microphone book arm is great. Here is why. Quality of Materials: almost entirely metal, which is what you want. Only the underside of the arm is plastic for cable routing. Sturdiness: the sturdiness great and fully adjustable with the wrenches included. If it loosens just make it tighter. Very functional. Should support heavier mics Setup and Mountability: easy setup, easily mounted. Just make sure your desk fits the mounting requirements before purchase. Motion: The swivel works well so you don’t have to worry about moving the possibly more delicate joints as much. Functionality: should give great sound quality when paired with a good mic and shock mount. Fully functional for use. Cable routing is great Overall a great mic stand and worth the money.

If you're looking for a boom arm that looks flush within your setup and has good moveability, then this is the one. The setup is super easy, and the build quality is premium since the arm is made of heavy metal. There is also cable management, so you can easily tuck them away for a cleaner and more cohesive look. It's also easy to adjust and swivel the arm to whatever height or level you need. Overall, highly recommend.

=Intro= I have this Boom Arm attached to a Fifine AM8 for casual communication uses as I am upgrading my audio set-up to have a dedicated mic and headphone solution as opposed to a headset/mic combo, as the mic on my current headset is failing. =Aftersales Support= Originally when the arm came, the hand screw piece that clamps the mic down to the arm broke after I tightened it. I then reached out to Fifine Support [Rosie] about the issue, and after a few days, I had a brand new hand-screw part in hand at no cost to replace the old one, which now works and does not suffer from the same issue, so thank you for good after sales support on that. Now, as for the boom arm. =Physical Specs= The arm itself extends to a total length of ~28 inches, not including the length of your mic, which I feel is ample to position your mic roughly ~5 to 6 inches from your face even from a laid-back posture, if you were all the way pushed in to your desk. You can tighten the joints of the arm with included hex wrenches. I have not tested the tightness of the joints after tightening as that's not my use-case. The clamp itself has a very small desk footprint, taking up about 2.5 inches in width, and 2 inches in depth on the desk. The ball joint for adjusting the mic at the end of the boom arm is a bit finicky to adjust at first, as one clamp is responsible for adjusting the mic left and right, and also up and down. Luckily, the aforementioned hand-screw makes tuning this a bit easier. I've got it tightened to a point where I can adjust it with some force while tightened, but the mic still holds in place. =Cons/Feedback= Something that I wish they had added is the ability to drill the boom arm into your desk as opposed to a clamp, similar to a monitor stand. It's hard for me to tighten the arm entirely due to the clamp's position on my desk. This does not seem to be a common concept amongst other boom arms for some reason. Also, instead of a long hand screw to tighten the clamp from the underside, it would be nice if it was a cross-style or T-style hand screw so it would be easier to tighten the clamp in tight spaces [i.e, between desk legs and a drawer which is where my clamp is]. I'm not entirely sure if this is due to me over-tightening it, or adjusting it while tightened, but the ball-joint's powder coating seems to be scraping off a little. This doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the mic as a whole, or the overall general appearance, but just something to note. I do feel at times the clamp or the socket (unsure which) where the arm where the arm connects to the clamp is a tiny bit wobbly if I brush it with my arm, but I would say is stable at the end of the day. =Price= I got it on sale at ~40$, however even at MSRP, this is a solid buy as a beginner level boom arm. It holds my mic in place, pushes away easily when I don't want it there. Most other boom arms start at ~70$ from the research I had done from more established audio companies [Shure, Rode, Elgato, etc] for a hanging boom arm, with low-profile options costing more. I definitely feel like that this is a very competitive pricepoint for this boom arm.

For the money, this is a very good microphone arm. Easy to install took maybe 5 minutes tops. Excellent stability while still being able to move the mic position or swivel it completely out of the way. The low profile design is great for my setup since it doesn't block my side monitor like my previous arm did. Seems like it should be compatible with a wide variety of mics out of the box with the included adapter. My Shure mv7+ screwed right on without issue. Also very impressed with the nicely weighted base clamp that attached to my desk very firmly with zero wobble. The cable management built into the arms is also well designed and easy to route through.

Its solid. Just got it so I cant speak on the longevity but its very sturdy, easy to assemble took me 2 minutes to set it all up. 0 squeak or noise at all. Plenty of Adjustability for my discord-mained mic. I'm by no means a pro with this stuff but for the price its a good pick. Cant go wrong with it. low profile with barley any branding. very sleek and unnoticed. Fifine has gone 0-hero in the last few years. 5/5 stars so far

I’ve had the low profile Elgato boom arm since launch, and from day one I wasn’t happy with it. The cable cover was trash. You adjusted the arm once and the cover would pop right off. Drove me crazy. I stumbled across this FIFINE boom arm a few days ago and immediately liked the look, but I was skeptical. I’d never heard of the brand. I read a few reviews, watched the price drop, and figured the price was low enough that I wouldn’t be mad if it didn’t work out. Turns out this thing is easily better than the Elgato. Like, not close. The build is solid as hell and the design is clean. It’s holding my PodMic with zero issues, but the real win is the cable management. The cable cover actually stays in place. It just works. That alone was worth the money. At regular price, this is a solid buy. If you catch it on sale, it’s a no brainer.

I hesitated to buy a boom arm because I hate how the traditional scissor arms clutter the screen and block my view. The BM88 completely solved that! This low-profile design is an absolute game-changer. It sits perfectly under my monitor, giving me back so much desk space while keeping the microphone right where I need it. The stability is fantastic—it’s solid and easily handles my heavier podcast mic (well under the 3.3-pound limit!). The 29-inch reach is more than enough to pull the mic from the back of my desk right up to my face for recording. The integrated cable management is the cherry on top, keeping my cable completely hidden for a super clean aesthetic. If you stream, game, or podcast and value a clean, professional look without sacrificing audio quality, stop looking and buy the BM88. It's the perfect blend of form and function. 5/5 stars!

EDIT: My review of this stand still stands (lol) but I have since upgraded my mic, and would like to mention that heavier mics such as the Blue Yeti will not work well with this stand. I didn't have any issues with falling or sagging, but the weight distribution caused enough vibrations that it ruined the sound quality. Something to keep in mind if your mic is on the heavier side. If you have a pink set-up, this is by far the prettiest shade of pink you can get for your mic stand! The color perfectly matches my Edifier speakers and the mic itself, and I love how the low profile keeps my mic from interfering with the view of the screen. That said, while it's perfect for me, it may not be perfect for everyone, so let's look at some pros and cons: Pros: - Super pretty pink color, not too bright, and consistent throughout. - Easily moves around and then stays in place once set, very sturdy with no drooping. - Hides the wires for a very sleek and professional look. - Long reach and low profile keeps it from obstructing my view of the screen. - Firmly grips the desk and doesn't move once placed. - I saw people complain that you need to use the allen wrench to adjust it, but in my experience, you should never need to tighten it enough to necessitate using that, unless you need this thing to never ever move. Cons: - Many people have mentioned the plastic covers for the wires. They are easy to remove, but they pop off VERY suddenly when pushed, so mind your fingers so they don't catch on the metal bits inside. - The 5/8 adapter screw it came with is absolute rubbish. The threads are only in the middle and don't reach deeply enough for a Razer Seiren Mini mic to make any use of them. I bought a 5/8 to 1/4 adapter on Amazon to attach it directly, and even that wasn't quite perfect because the Razer Mini's threads are plastic and may degrade from overuse. This is a very specific con, but one I was looking for since I planned to use it with my mini. - The plastic turning gears to tighten the mic holder feels a little fragile. And this is another very specific con, but for some reason, mine was used when it arrived! It ended up being fine aside from the box being torn and some pieces pre-assembled, but seeing as this is an Amazon issue, I didn't factor it into my score. I really hope fifine releases more accessories in this colorway, because it's really pretty!
