Gator Frameworks Slim-Profile Broadcast Boom Arm
The Gator Slim-Profile Broadcast Boom Arm is a desk-mounted mic arm aimed at podcasting and streaming, landing at 54 in the beginner tier. Its slim profile keeps the mic positioned without crowding the desk. The key limit is its 2.2 lb load rating, so heavier microphones beyond that spec are out of bounds.
