I don't recommend this microphone arm for anybody. The aluminium extrusions are attached at the pivot points by a piece of plastic. On mine, the plastic shattered on the first attempt to move the arm. After looking at the design, it's clear the stress is concentrated on a small, hollow plastic moulding at the joint which breaks at the slightest provocation. To me, it's a poor design choice that is asking for early (if not immediate, as in my case) failure. Get a better mic arm like the K&M instead, they're worth the extra money.
