Just got mine. And that optional Weight is a damn true lifesaver. So far no complaints on this arm. Definitely worth its $100 price tag.
Question, does your wave arms base wiggle a lot? Like the part you would secure with the allen key. If i push mine back it just tilts and it feels like nothing is holding onto it. I might return it if this just happens to me :/
@@thatneo4133 did you return it and did this fix ur problem ? Also I’m looking to get the high rise mic arm and I only have the wave 3 with pop filter is there anything I need to buy extra?
@@sways5016 I never bothered to do anything about it i just probably stripped the tightening bit or something so it was probably just my fault.
I had the Mic Arm LP. It was fantastic but a change in my setup and the way my desk was organized called for a proper scissor-style boom arm. The included riser makes this probably the best option for its price range.
Dude why volume so low? -14 for youtube
“Some mic arms” - shows Rode PSA1
IMPORTANT: Video reference: 4:00, If your mic arm shaft isn't sliding into your riser fully, you will need to use the included allen/hex wrench (it's very small) to loosen the screw that holds the inner plastic pieces in place. Once your mic arm shaft is fully inserted, tighten the screw just until you meet resistance.
Very useful indeed - Elgato products are very well thought out. Make more products, so we can have a better selection of that Elgato quality!
I bought my Elgato gear during the last promotion, and then found out I was having surgery and haven’t been able to use it. Months later, I’m so excited because I finally get to hook it all up. Thanks for the helpful video!
Going to have to get one of these. Elgato is killing it right now with your products.
Just purchased one of these...originally had the thronmax but the metal pole that fits into the mounting Clamp snaped off..obviously I'm hopeful this will be much stronger..Great review thank you...

I've had the arm for while now..but I don't have any play as such..I'm using a AKG P120 microphone, this is a medium weight microphone..the arm works perfectly for this type.
@@stuartrobson5265 First of all, thank you for replying. I'll probably return this one then.
Well damn, this convinced me, all the worries I have with other mic arms adressed!
Glad to hear it. 😎
Mine just came in. It's the best I have ever used. I used to have the blue compass because it looked really nice, but in practice, it works terribly.
is there a way to mount to wall or ceiling rather than desk only?
Elgato really thinks of everything
This arm is out of stock, all throughout Europe. On top of that, it's priced way higher then in the US, at €130, roughly $150 at the moment. You guys should restock or some shit, cause it's quite frustrating having been follow all stores for over two months now, and no item in stock🤦♂️ It's not like you need silicon chips for manufacturing🤣
Tbf i got mine very easily (just like 7 days longer shipping) for msrp 100€
I just bought a mic arm today, might have to give this one a serious look
Man I am so bummed out I bought a usb mic and another boom arm just a few months ago (had to because my headset mic was broken), If I knew you was gonna come out with this mic arm and the XLR controller, I would have found a temp solution and bought all this stuff, it looks amazing.
The Blue Compass as described here with no springs and in need of tightening to lock it, is wrong. It does have an adjustable internal spring. I have mine with the two screw locks that control the arm itself completely unlocked, and it stays put. There is a third locking screw, the one that you use for angling the microphone at the end of the arm, and this needs tightening to lock it as it's not connected to springs. The Compass is incredibly nice in use if adjusted correctly, and you can freely adjust height and distance freely without having to unlock and lock the joints. (I weighed the microphone I have on it now, 542 grams with shock mount, and it works as intended)
I have the Blue Compass as well paired with the Wave 3 Mic and trust me its tough to use. And that's due to the Wave 3 mic being so light. Also you can't angle the Mic as you want. I do love the Blue Compass but it's not the best with the Wave 3 Mic.
@@STOGG I'm sure it's not the best arm for all microphones, but I was happy to see that my current wasn't too light for it, so I was prepared to buy a set of ankle weights to put around the end of it to make things heavy enough :P But I just wanted to mention that when you do have a microphone within the weight range it supports, you don't need to tighten the joints (except the last one) to keep it in place.
thinking the same thing (Elgato sure know better)
My blue compass can’t seem to bend below 90 degrees no matter how much i tighten the screws, i use a shure sm7b btw. That’s just my experience though
@@thedoesthingspodcast9298 have the same experience as you
I'm actually sort of impressed by how succinct this is.
okayy letsgo for my fifine
I need to know what desk they use in this video
This microphone Arm, solves common problems, perfect for many broadcast studios
Bought this because
-I had a blue yeti which is heavy and they showed this working
-I have now a shure sm7b and they showed that too
awesome company great video
Hey Elgato, when is the Wave Mic Arm going to be back in stock? I had bought one and loved it, but returned the one I bought to Amazon as it was defective. I’ve been wanting to buy a replacement ever since, but it’s not available anywhere 🥲 I would prefer the main mic arm over the LP
im 100% sure ill buy this but the example of other mic arms and the weight of the mic doesn't make sense. I have a cheap mic arm and i can adjust the arm to hold the arm in place.
now the clamp is a great thing!
Can👏we👏please👏get👏them👏in👏white👏to👏match👏our👏setups👏THANK YOUUUUU👏
Ur gonna blind yourself
Having trouble finding a low-profile mic boom that can accommodate my 5/8" thick, extra shielded XLR cables. Surely there are products that can meet this rather elementary requirement! Most low-profile boom with "cable management" seem to only work for regular XLR (or other) cables that are NOT as thick as the ones I use. Life is too short to waste on issues that could be avoided.
I think im sold on this now 😅 i wanted a arm that has the riser and this one has :)
Bought quadcast s microphone like day ago and i rly dont have space on my table for it so i need a boom arm
And ordered.
i got one of this and use this less than a year and found out that the screw on the clamp is totally stuck and i cant clamp my arm now. Can i get a replacement parts for this?
Win, sold. My Compass just gave out not even a year and a half old.
Whenever I close it it just spring back up 1 star
Use the counterweight it cane with
Can I use the HyperX Quadcast with this? Thank you
sure!
Strange how Elgato is a mic company but their TH-cam channel's audio is some of the worst I've heard.
If a camera isn't intended use, why not use the same thread that every mic uses? It's the only thing that annoys me. It needs special extension tubes because of strange thread.
I wanna buy it but not sure when it'll be restocked :(
Same
Def, going to order me one of these. Curious, what lighting is that in your setup?
How do you adjust the spring tension? To make it lower itself more
I would have given you my first born for this mic arm and you price it at just $99??
Can i use the Wave Mic high rise also as an low profile under the monitors?
I thought That there is going to come something fancy new thing but a lot of Talking and wow cable Management. Hmmmm Not so suprised
just ordered mines, my mic stand was annoying
Mic arm looks really good, but I gotta say, the clips they show where the arm is set to the right of the person “streaming” looked so uncomfortable lol. Feel like they should I showed a different position. The whole arm was in the camera and then seemed like his right arm kept hitting the mic arm. Just random things I notice! Seems like a cool mic arm though
Just bought mine today :P can't wait to get it. I upgraded my mic from a hyperx to a mv7 so might aswell upgrade my old spring boom arm haha!! and before i look at your video i didnt know i had and extension arm. thats gonna be super useful for me :P
We hope it's a great fit for your setup!
Does anyone know how to adjust the arm tention so the arm moves easier?
Why I can't find this on Amazon?
because its not on amazon
I have this boom arm but can’t mount it on my desk using the clamp. Can it fit a permanent through desk or wall mount solution? If so, which one!
I'm going to need a taller or second rise :(
Is it used for live streaming platforms like Zoom , WebEx , etc.
Amazing Boom Mic Arm!
Great video! I just got the wave 3 mic. I am considering the wave 3 mic arm. I would like my set up to have the mic out of the shot when I am streaming. Is it possible to do this with the wave 3 mic and high rise arm. Can you advise on how I would do this set up? I saw a shot in this video where the mic came up and over. Wondering if this will work with having the mic overhead, and how far you recommend the mic from your mouth. Thank you!
Anyone know if the raiser is included?
This arm have gotten my attention big time! Maybe it will work better with my Cintiq when drawing standing up. =)
can i use my Re20 with this boom arm @Elgato
Wow
It's interesting, but why don't we better update the wavelink firmware, I mean, features for the microphone, compressor, effects and so on. Fixing the conflicts in some audio cards would be better for later if we acquire this arm for the microphone.
finally a good price and quality mic arm, I wish knew about this years ago
DOPE!!! I just left Best Buy with my wave three and was unsure about an arm… Now I’m not!!!
If only you could mount it instead of only clamping it.
Riser sold me. Want to mount this behind my monitors.
What is it?! It's not in stock anywhere that's what it is.
Great product I really want this mic Arm for my Elgato wave 3
Can I put an XLR cable ?
So it's the Rode but with a shroud and weight?
Like..finally. Rode and Blue should get a slap in the face for not updating their arms for the new market. You pinpointed their flaws pretty accurately. The blue looks great but the springs are just too shabby.
What is the next leading mic arm? Lol
i want to buy it but it says not avaliable in australia ;-;
When, where and for how much this will be available for in India?
I need it but then again it's never in stock 😭
can i use fifine k658 ?
I cant find that mic stand
ill stick with my rode psa1.
Hi! I'm Steggy from Elgato!
Can I connect a Heavy Base to the Mic Arm instead screwing it to the desk?
I’m tried something similar with mixed results, I attempted to clamp a solid arm followed by three sections of L and S flex arms with an Elgato Wave 1 on the pole of a Keylight Air to the original base. The keylight air base is barely 2 lbs on its own and I also have a Asus rog strix gaming laptop helping weigh down the lamp base as well. I believe Elgato’s two new boom arms will be too heavy for the 10 lb base, it’s best to clamp it to the desk itself, in my case, I removed the drawers on mine.
Great company. Their LP arm is the best.
3:30 god that solves all of my issues
Is there any way to mount this other than the desk like with the multi mount system?
Just ordered one for my new desk setup
2:52 this is the most BS part of the blue arm, I must be drunk when I bought it last year. I really like the design of Wave mic arm, just wish it could be thinner
Just sellotape a load of pencils together.
Wow The Mic Arm Is So Thicc
I am in Egypt how can I get it
Would this work for a ikea desk that is 41 inches in length or would the arm be too long?
There's a low profile version if you're concerned.
@@Senchi3 my desk depth is only 20 inches in depth, Ikea micke desk with drawers removed to accommodate mic boom clamp also so gaming chair armrest can fit under the tabletop… LP May be my best option, it’s the same price
can u give me a discount?
would it hold my electro voice rE 20 ?
getting this 100%
Well played Elgato.
can it handle a7iii on this arm?
yep
did you buy it ? i dont know if it can handle my A6400 + 18-105 sony lens too :(
can I mount it in a wall?
Wave Mic Arm cannot be mounted on a wall.
get the wall mount not this
@@evannovotny with this and wall mount i can't aniway
@@FrancescoVagli make your sentences make sense please
@@evannovotny sorry but i don't speak english well, even if i bought the wall mount i couldn't attach the wave mic arm to the wall anyway
