I have been buying equipment for decades and this is the cream of the crop. It is extremely sturdy with a few moving parts that will not wear down easily. They were really thinking when they made the mic holder a 3/8" but comes with adapter for 5/8". I have used both and consider the mics with 3/8 higher quality. Whether you are a working musician or enjoy more home recording the fact that this clamps on to a table or desk is perfect and for your unique show or definitely for the podcast pros out there, especially if you are on video and not just an audio show. Why?... because of the amazing lightshow you can choose from with the many rainbow of colors, light patterns, and options for the multicolor lights that run up the entire unit, or the option of no lights at all. First secure it THEN plug into a USB jack, or adapter and wall outlet, if you use lights, or the cord may get pulled and damaged. There are options to choose from as well for your mic, both angle and height, making it easier being at the mic connection rather than have to mess with it further down and get up and down for the perfect position. Very clear directions and excellent packaging that kept it safe. I am so excited even if it is just me that sees these lights, and the fact that I will not have to start a recording again from mic slipping and compromising the sound or ruining the entire song from using cheaper equipment. This is definitely a quality piece so be sure to let those who ask where you scored this, that it is from a FiFine company! Via the affordable and product backing company that Walmart is, while many other companies are not as easy to work with if you do run into issues. But this will not be one of them, it is more than what you bargained for, which is like seeing a unicorn nowadays! Definitely impressed, and I will not even feel the need to bring any backups if I do decide to use it at a future gig. I used to use a potium for a music stand, so this will be a perfect fit for a show! There really is no need to look further, give it a whirl and I am certain you will recommend this as well! Easy set up, just be sure to keep it clean and dry since there are electronics to consider unlike the boring old run of the mill booms. And you won't have to mess with finding the balance of the boom angle like the old school ones that would tip over if not balanced right. Extremely well engineering and design, and easy to maneuver and lock into place at the heavy duty elbow.
