ZealSound Microphone Stand Gooseneck 19”, Flexible Clamp-On Desktop Mic Stand with 360° Adjustable Arm, 3/8" to 5/8" Adapter, Heavy-Duty Desk Mount, for Podcasting, Streaming, Podium & Public Speaking

I spent a fair amount of time trying to research which microphone stand to get and i am glad i got this one. It supports my audio technica condenser mic very well. Before, i had a boom mic stand that had 3 legs on the floor and it was always prone to tipping over and I was always having to negotiate around it with my rolling chair and cables. This gooseneck mic clamps on to my desk and is waaaay more convenient. The metal seems high quality. I am looking forward to the convenience of this set up for recording. The 19 inches seems just right as far as length goes from a sitting position in a chair.

Bought 11/15/2024 its now 02/24/2025 and the part that attaches to the adjustable stand to hold the mic is completely stripped. I've done nothing but adjust it as normally, haven't even screwed it on or off yet somehow its warped, stripped, and no longer functional. 3 months for a product to go kaput from minimal use is a travesty. I don't recommend. UPDATE: contacted customer service and it turns out Amazon shipped it with a missing piece. This company's customer service was exceptional and very quick/responsive. They are sending me the part I need and I will be updating my review again when the part comes on the overall quality of the mic stand :) ****NEW ITEM RECEIVED: Works great, replacement came with a part that was originally missing but now feels sturdier than ever, definitely recommend, customer service was great and fast/efficient

The arm itself feels sturdy but the threads where it attaches to the clamp almost instantly stripped. I've had it for a few days and adjusted it maybe 4 times. Now it's just sitting in the arm-to-clamp threads by the weight of the mic (which is a slightly heavier condenser mic than probably intended AKG-P120). UPDATE: The seller did reach out to offer replacements or a refund after I made this review, so points for good customer service.

This unit is very well made, (desktop clamp is solid and easy to adjust). I've only had it a short time but it works well with my Shure Beta 87c condenser MIC. I just needed a short reach and wanted something smaller than a boom arm. The goose neck moves easily and stays in place for my mic. The connection to the base is solid and doesn't move around when the goose neck is moved out and in (keep mine in a vertical position when not in use). This freed up a ton of floor space in my small basement studio and I'll see how it holds up after a few months but so far so good.

I bought this in February, loved it, and recommended to others. After using it for months, it finally is starting to fail. The flexibility and pliability was awesome, but now at the base of the spring, it's starting to flop. For right now I can angle it in a way to make it work, but this is a short term solution until I find a new mic arm. I gave it 3 because I loved it for 5 months, but now it's just not holding up. Great idea, just not great quality long-term.

It's sturdy enough to hold my Elgato Wave:1 mic which isn't a heavy mic but I've had issues with other mic arms having the opposite issue because it's so light it's hard to hold the mic in place. I was worried about the length but it's the perfect length to place the microphone without being in the way of the monitors and the neck is thin enough to not block the second monitor on my right at all. I can fully adjust it so that it's both near my mouth and out of the view of the camera for streams and Zoom calls. I was prepared to spend close to $200 for a low-profile mic arm to keep it out the way and on a whim I went with this gooseneck even though it wasn't the length I wanted (I'm thankful the longer arm was out of stock) and it worked nearly perfect, I was legitimately shocked with how well it is for my setup. I haven't tested it with anything heavier than the Wave:1 mic, but I'm confident it would hold something heavier because of how sturdy it feels. I do wish it had a better method of attaching to the desk clamp because of how easily it starts to unscrew with the slightest turn counterclockwise anywhere on the gooseneck. If the gooseneck arm was on a swivel to allow you to better move the arm without unscrewing it from the base it would be the perfect mic arm for me. Maybe even a locking quick release mechanism instead of a standard screw on method. I paid $23 for this and would gladly pay another $10 if it had a better attachment method.

Out the gate, It felt odd. After unboxing and setting up the arm, I had noticed right away a few things. The main thing that concerned me was the threading that attaches the arm to the base- it was loose. Initially it had a small wiggle, so I disregarded it. In the span of a few days, I was moving the arm back and fourth as I used it for gaming. Eventually I then found the whole thing can basically unscrew with that movement, as the arm itself was extremely stiff. With the constant involuntary screwing and unscrewing, what started to appear were little glitters on the base, which were metal fragments. Over the span of 4 months the stand became looser and looser, until the very end where the mount was shredded, and it would no longer hold in any position. Then I threw it out. Not only was there the issue with the loose thread, but various other quality issues, like the unprotected metal mount which holds the stand to the table, leaving a engraved ring on the underside. The coating of the arm itself also started cracking. There were a few minor positives, like the arm being strong, but it is meaningless if the whole product is destroyed by that. If you are going to make it that way, it needs to be attached to the base permanently. Over all this stand was terrible and did not last well at all. I ended up going with the Rockville GN20, and have had a way better experience, as it has a permanent mount to the body.

I purchased this to mount a home made camera lucida that I built. I needed a table mounted flexible holder and this looked like a good match. I also do quite a bit of home recording so I was expecting this to do double duty as a mic stand. I am very happy with the purchase. The flex gooseneck is flexible, but sturdy. It works well for both purposes. I surprised that the clamp was metal and had a bit of padding to protect the surface of the table when mounted. The mic end is a standard male 3/8-16 thread and an adaptor is provided for the more common US standard of 5/8-27. The mic adaptor provided is decent quality and fits a SM57 just fine. For the price, its quite a nice stand.

Perfect for my microphone.

I tried a couple of those spring loaded ones. None would move the way I wanted. Too rigid and they couldn't suppor the weight of the Schure MV7. Plus most of them didnt have the right size screw to fit this type of mic. I wanted a quality Mic but not a massive above head stand. I also wanted the mic out of view on meetings and streams. This ticks all the boxes. Can move and bend it whereever. Stays outta the way of the camera. Not sure how long it will hold up as I bend it out of the way when not using. So far so good though. The fact it comes with a traditional hand mic holder which you can remove and it just fist the larger pod cast style is awesome.

This is the second one of these arms I've purchased. The first one was so bad it had to be returned the same day it was delivered. The components of this product are cheap, made in China, garbage, and I do not recommend buying this product. My advice, purchase separate components, and make sure the quality for each component is the best. Do not buy this product!!

Good well made product

Item feels sturdy. I'm using a fifine mic that's maybe a bit over a pound and find that it slowly stoops a bit from the mic weight so I've been readjusting every now and then. Perhaps it's because of the horizontal position of the mic when it gets screwed on and that I'll need to ensure it's more vertical. It's a bit difficult to bend towards the ends of the arm It's overall difficult to adjust the arm, not something you want to do every time when you sit down; however, I find it pretty convenient to push it to a side at the base so that it's not in my face when I'm not using it. It barely takes desk space so I'm happy with that. Overall it works as intended and can support the mic just fine Edit: updating review from 4 to 5 as the slightly drooping was fixed after beding the arm more vertical. ZealSound customer support experience has been really nice
