Looking for a microphone boom arm, but how do they work? (lemmy.world)

I've got an AT2020, so far I've been using it fine on its tripod but I want an arm.

Those basketball-hoop-looking things that the microphone goes in though, are they a one-size-fits-all? I'd hate to get the wrong thing..

Mic arms will have a tripod style screw mount at the end and then will probably come with several different pieces that can fit on the end. The one you're describing is a shock mount and they should list the microphone diameters they accept. You'll probably also be able to directly mount the microphone or use a rigid clip.

I bought this one a few years ago to use with my Samson Q2U: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X1ZWS2H The shock mount doesn't fit that microphone but the clip mount does.
