How to Set Up and Adjust Blue Compass Boom Arm Tension for Different Microphone Sizes

Description
Compass is a premium broadcast boom arm with internal springs and built-in cable management, ideal for broadcast applications like game streaming, podcasting, voice-over and more. With smooth, quiet operation and sophisticated on-camera looks, Compass is the perfect microphone boom arm for mics weighing up to 2.4 pounds, including Blue's Yeti and Blackout Spark SL.

Compass features a broadcast studio-grade design with enclosed aluminum construction, internal springs, and hidden-channel cable management. All friction hinges are hand-tightening—no need for any tools—and a full 360-degree rotation means you’re covered for any application. Effortless and quiet, Compass stays in place after being adjusted, and the robust C-clamp creates a solid connection with your desktop. Pair Compass with Yeti and the Radius III shockmount for a professional broadcast setup.

    this boom arm is a complete waste of money. don't buy it if you expect it to serve you or do anything meaningful for you in anyway. and if unhappy, don't call customer service because they'll just tell you nothing they can do. will not be buying, or shopping here again

  • Worst product. Buy the rode PSA or OSA+

    No matter how tight you make it, arm never stays in place, springs are a way to strong. Then you have to loosen and tighten Everytime you need to move it. Warning, this is metal screws into plastic nuts. Main joint broke only after a few months. Never again, waste of money. Blue never responded to my emails.

  • Poor Quality Boom Arm

    The boom arm comes with no instructions for how to make adjustments to the tension, and is VERY easily breakable from its cheap plastic material. Too much tension can't keep the microphone in place, and too little tension causes the entire boom arm to fall apart into pieces.

    I bought this to use on my drum rack. Super impressed with the build quality. I got it on sale but would have been happy to pay the full price. The _only_ thing I'm not sure about are the plastic tension adjusting knobs, but they may be perfectly fine. But the rest is rock solid. #sweepstakes

  • Stupid boom arm. Buy a better one.

    Can't adjust it for a hand held mic. Gotta have something really heavy in it. Threw it in the dumpster.

  • I would buy this again

    I saw that I was charged for the Blue Compass Boom Arm but my recent orders isn't showing the status of my order (it shows nothing there) and since the product page says I won't be charged until the item ships, is it on its way or not?
