RODE PSA1+ Pro Studio Boom/Arm

The parallelogram springs make adjusting my mic position completely silent—no more of that annoying creaking I had with my old arm. It holds my heavy condenser mic perfectly steady, even when I swing it into a different spot mid-stream.

The parallelogram springs make adjusting the arm feel almost weightless—no more fighting to get the mic to hold its position. Even when I swing it fully out for a podcast setup, it stays exactly where I leave it, which is more than I can say for my last arm.

I'm really impressed with how solid this boom arm feels once it's clamped down—no wobble at all even with my heavier mic. The internal spring system makes adjustments a breeze, though I wish the tension knob had a bit more grip.
