I ordered this arm because I already knew the brand because of some filters that I have had for a long time and that have worked great for me. I would say that it is a semiprofessional brand, but with results that are very close to those of PRO equipment with a very competitive price. So with that previous experience, I was encouraged to test this support for a very specific use. Let me tell you: I record interview-like videos and talking bust for my YouTube channel, using a mirrorless camera and a well-known directional microphone. I usually mount it above the camera, but when I'm at a certain distance, it starts to pick up echoes and more ambient noise than I would like. This arm was great for me because it allowed me to attach the microphone to one of the legs of the tripod and place it closer to me, from a lower angle and without it appearing flat. The change is a clearer sound. It has a double articulated arm, although at the moment I'm only using one. I'm thinking of using the other one for a small fill light that I have, something soft that gives me a side spot. Anyway, there are a lot of options: it could also be used for a monitor or even an extra camera, because it's quite robust. I ordered the longer model to have more room for placement, and I think it's a good fit for home or semi-professional video setups. I recommend it.
