FIFINE BM88 Flexible Low-Height Stand for Microphone 1.5kg Load

• The name Low-profile says it all, it doesn't leak out of the frame but still enhances clarity and takes advantage of the proximity effect.

• It's nicknamed Low-profile thanks in part to its cable management capabilities that help neatly organize the desk surface.

• No more squeaking from worn springs, you can rotate back and forth as smoothly as possible.

• Not only made of metal, but also reinforced in size, especially for the weak point of most microphone arms, the C-clip.

• 3/8”, 5/8”, 1/4” mounts fit almost any microphone without causing headaches.

Cheaper price but better performance, what could happen?

The idea is to keep the mic suspended in a lower position.

The reinforced metal C-clip is no surprise,
but the locking handle is not.

A plus for large workbenches - handle length.

Once you install the mic stand on your desk, in most cases you can leave it there forever and whenever you need it, just pull it out in front of you.Then we come to the important question of whether the handle is long enough to cover the length from one side of the table to the other or from back to front.But the length it achieves was never a problem for the FIFINE BM88.Each handle measures up to 11.5 inches long, for a total horizontal length of 27.8 inches, which is a big plus if you have a large desk.And you don't have to worry about leaning to the side to record a podcast or shouting at teammates during a game.

One of the best ways to install it is to place it below the screen so it doesn't obscure or disrupt the view while gaming or podcasting.But that doesn't mean it has to be placed so low that it hinders your typing posture.The distance from the bottom handle to the table is 2.8 inches (about 7.6 cm), allowing you to use the mouse or keyboard without touching the handle.

Another plus for large desks - the ability to rotate in two directions

The middle joint of the upper handle can not only rotate left and right, but also rotate vertically, that is, two-way rotation.A scissor handle can do this too, but this LP (low profile) can do it in a less disruptive way when you're standing during a video conference or recording music.You can actually take it up high to use with a shotgun microphone for recording or streaming completely out of frame.

A big plus - cable management

How can it be called low-profile when the cable is tied on the outside with a velcro patch?Now, the highlight of the new product is starting to appear.With its integrated cable management system, it provides a very neat way to route and store cables.

But so far, the description above seems to match some similar microphone handles on the market.What really stands out about it are the sliding panels that help secure the cable in place, preventing it from easily popping out when swinging your arms.User-friendly features keep improving!

Installing the panels after inserting the cable into the handle groove is not difficult as you only need to insert the cable once and for all.But the results are quite reliable: it offers the best fixation, even with the thickest XLR cables.

Additionally, the removable cover is upside down, meaning the top surface of the handle stays flat while the cable runs underneath, giving your setup a more minimalist look.You might not expect that it can clean up your desk space so effectively.

More accurate positioning

Springs inside or outside the scissor arm help position items, so you'll inevitably get a little sagging.When using this thin and light microphone stand, you need to use the included hexagonal lock to increase the tension at the handle's elbow joint.But that also means more precise adjustments.You can actually lock it down so it doesn't wobble on impact.

More flexible adjustment and compatibility

The ball head provides optimal angular flexibility when placing the mic in its final position.You can rotate it to create unique angles.Placing the mic vertically is also easier.

With two separate adapters, there's no microphone mount they can't handle, or even fit a variety of lights or lightweight cameras with standard 1/4", 5/8", or 3/8" threads.

This type of mic arm is not famous for its strength.But at least you don't have to worry about that with this FIFINE BM88.It has enough strength to hold a microphone weighing about 1.5kg.
