Maono BA92 Low Profile Boom Arm Review

The Maono BA92 low profile mic boom arm is a solid choice for a low profile boom arm that doesn't break the bank. In some cases, a low profile arm can get you better positioning than a traditional boom arm, and the BA92 is a nice option.

Thank you for talking about how to position the mic based on the camera. So many people neglect to talk about that and it’s specifically what I was trying to determine ❤️

great well in depth review! with so many boom arms out there, its hard to find reviews on these newer ones from the bigger brands and in general.

Thanks for the review, and esp. your past keyboard reviews! (using a Nuphy 75v2 now). Low profile and square boom arms do look better than the hideous articulated ones with the springs. I find boom arms in many videos to be hideous, cutting across 1/2 or 3/4 of the middle of the frame, and then some tubers add in huge ugly mics with disgustingly ugly pop filters. Not a cool look unless it’s 100% for radio. In many cases it works quite well to use a standard vertical mic desk stand of appropriate height, a lot of which can be out of the frame, than to use any type of hideous boom arm.

Thank you for comparing various camera angles with the boom arm.

My problem with LP arms is that they don't adjust the angle automatically when raising or lowering the arm. Regular boom arms to that. Like a monitor arm.

are you kiding me i love my elgato wave 3 low profile arm i stop using my rode psa1 normal arm it got in the way of my monitors glad i switch too low profile it also helps with my posture

Excellent work! Do you have a shock mount suggestion for the Sony Ecm-s1?

[nonenobody]

The screw mount on the end seems like an easy failure point.

Nice review, I have the Elgato low profile boom arm and Wave 3 mic, I came to very similar conclusions about using one for removing the mic from shot .
I had previously been using a Blue Yeti and a Tonor over head boom arm but i constantly struggled with positioning.
I know exactly what you mean about the magnetic panels though it's probably the biggest downside to the Elgato arm.
