Blue Compass Boom Arm Long Term Review! Worth It?

Six months ago I bought yetis blue compass to record audio for videos, in the time thats passed since then Ive recorded the audio of fifty four videos using the boom arm giving me a in depth understanding of who and what this microphone is for, and hopefully weather it would be a good investment for you.

To decide whether this would be a good purchase for you ill need to give a little background in order to explain why I spent the one hundred US dollars on this boom arm in the first place. Before I bought the Yeti blue compass I had a newer microphone stand that was absolutely terrible for any kind of video creation, however I originally used it to hold my microphone for when playing games, since then I sold my gaming pc and decided to pursue creating high quality videos For this channel. Thus one of the first videos I created for this channel was a review of yetis blue compass, Since then a lot of time has passed, and both the depth and quality of my reviews have drastically changed, id like to think for the better. And as a result ive come to understand who this microphone arm is for.

Awesome review! Very thoughtful with lots of reflection of usage and all the great closeup views really give you a chance to check out the quality of the mic boom arm.

Dude thanks for this video. You're the only person I've seen that actually shows how the arm attaches to the base which was my main concern. The thing is that it's 130 Eur where I live but if that's what it takes to have a decent arm I'll definitely consider it.

I have had my Blue Compass for two years and am very disappointed the upper and lower arms are always out of alignment, adjustments have yielded nothing, great looking, if you don’t mind it being crooked. My Samson MBA’s are twice the arm at half the price.

I hope to use tjis for gor my blue mic

Do you remember what video you watch to adjust the arm? Mine won't do what yours does

[unquestionabletv]

How did you get the mic facing up like that? mine just flies up straight

Your Blue Compass seems to be very stable after you make adjustments to location. I've seen other content creators getting lift or sag on theirs, even after adjusting the tension screw on the bottom. Did you have any issues or was the screw relatively easy to set for your needs?

Holy cow, you might wanna replace the mic cable. Looks like your dog ate it. LOL.

The boom arm is absolutely terrible. I have it, and even though i have tightened the friction plates and loosened the screw on the bottom, it still goes up.

made from some kind of metal? very informative lol

[oliverpigram]

I wish it was aluminuym for the price isnread of plastic

[bbarrera]

copper by itself is not a common structural material, you were probably looking for the word "brass" instead.

Damn. That microphone cord's seen some shit.

Unfortunately for me, the Blue Compass is a total disappointment No way to adjust for lighter mics. So much hope. Great disappointment.
