Bro, could the Rode logos be any bigger? It looks like you just want advertising from the mega logos showing on streams.
Love the new boom arm, but I really don't like the placement or the size of the logos. You could learn a lot from Lululemon's placement and sizing of logos. Come on RODE!
Fully agreed. Large logos like this can usually be only found on cheap equipment. Premium products usually have a small logo somewhere. What Rode has done here seems to be calculated at exposing their brand to everyone watching streamers using this arm. Disappointing.
@@boskee Absolutely 👊
Agreed.
Wish you could buy one without the logos.
@@Angultra Totally...
This is very Rode logo foreward.
This really just looks like you stuck Rode ads on the old version.
Nobody:
*Rode sees a blank spot….SLAPS logo on it!
Bring it on to Amazon UK and Germany. Røde is a pride of Australia, amazing products as always.
Why would the cable Mangement ‘not’ be worked into the sleeve? The over-branded sleeve is also a deterant for many who don’t wish to be an advertisement for Rode. As an owner of the original this is quite disappointing. A lower profile mic arm would have been something many customers would be more interested in. Look at the Elgado low profile arm and it’s popularity, sleek design and good simplistic looks.
I’m VERY excited about the mounting system and knobs. 🙌
(I realized that sounded sarcastic, but I’m 100% serious)
Can’t wait for your review and comparison video!!
How to remove the obnoxiously large RØDE logos:
Use a steam iron to loosen the decals from the sleeve fabric. Peel off the letters. Use acetone to clean up the remaining residue.
The arm will look worlds better.
Just setup my PSA1+ today - couldn't be happier with it. Great job Rode!
The logos are too much. Imagine having four people using those arms in a video. That would be really distracting and take away from the conversation.
Looking forward to trying it out!
Why not a low profile option as well for podcast interviews filming?
Include a few strips of gaffers tape FTW.
Looks good, but I have having RODE written all big and loud in the microfone.
The GIGANTIC Rode logos are a deal-breaker, period. No sale.
WHY the logos tho?
Looks like the perfect time to upgrade from my PSA1. I hope it's available in Canada soon!
I was going to buy a PSA1 this week but didn't get around to it yet. Now I'm not sure. This is definitely better... but the price difference in New Zealand is about $70 (to be fair, that's based on the cheapest price of the PSA1 - MSRP, it's closer to about $50 difference), and that's a LOT of extra money that could go towards other equipment. I don't mind paying for good hardware, but I'm not so sure this is it.
The new head is nice, and the rubber additions to the desk mount are a must-have which really should have been there in the first model, but otherwise, it seems like the same arm except with a couple of ugly covers on it.
I don't _mind_ the external cable management, but the covers feel like a bandaid solution, especially considering they're making up at least half of this "new" product. Seems like it'd be a better and likely cheaper solution to get third-party ones without giant logos on them instead.
Honestly, the only real selling point for me is the mount being rubberised on both sides, but I feel like that should have been the case to begin with, and you can always get a different mount or modify the existing one, so again... I'm not really sold on this. I think I'll probably stick to my original plan of buying a PSA1. It'd be an easy decision if the price difference was much less, but as it is, I don't see $70 worth of extras over the original model (or even $50, for that matter).
Couldn’t you guys have the cables internal to the sleeves? Why are they outside, being unsightly, when the market is always looking for cleaner / sleeker cable management.
Also that’s a nice big logo so you guys can have advertising without needing to pay streamers. Nice!
Love the new PSA1+, just bought 3, however the huge logo plastered all over the arm absolutely ruins the look for video applications. One logo, tastefully placed and sized, not a huge contrast from the background colour, would be fine. However 4 logos, very large type, non-removable adds up to a huge distraction and non-professional look for video applications. Viewers should be focused on the content, not huge logos from gear suppliers. I cut off the neoprene sleeves and we're all set! A pity I had to do that - sticking black tape over them looked even worse! Please consider tasteful and professional branding going forward as some of the other commenters have said. Turning your products into billboards for your company is too much.
Have you used the original PSA1? Deciding between the two
@@Serkong Yes, I have several original PSA1s. I would definitely get the PSA1+, as the attachment end (where you hook up the mic) is better built and more adaptable to different sizes/shapes of microphones. Plus, the weight handling in the PSA1+ is superior.
@@marknortham5677 Ok thanks, what mics do you use on all those mounts?
@@Serkong I've used a variety including TLM-103s and RE20/RE27NDs, however currently I'm using SM7B's on the new PSA1+ arms and they perform flawlessly - totally silent, even with the (ugly branded) neoprene cut off.
@@Serkong The original is almost an industry standard. The new boom arm has some real improvements BUT that logo is a deal breaker. No way that is going in front of the camera.
Ayyy that's me! Can't wait to try out the new Psa1+
Does it come with black gaffer tape to cover the logos?
You guys keep making great products. Good work 👍🏻👍🏻
Do we need to buy any cable to mount rode NT USB on it ?
The included USB cable is 6 metres long, so it's unlikely you would need an additional for a desk mounting scenario.
Hare those huge logos
No thanks. Looks like someone bought flannel sleeves on Etsy for their PSA1. I guess their good in case you forget the brand of your boom arm. Good lord.
I'm in the market for a boom arm. But, I don't like all the logos on the sleeves. Rode could you please provide us with the option to purchase this boom arm MINUS the logos.
😳😳 Seriously guys…. turn into a Ralph Lauren logo? Is the huge logo in the back also part of the Arm? Rode should really know that a distraction free and clear messaged video format is key for audience building and authenticity. And this is far from it ew
Ordering one soon and can't wait to use it in my new videos !
Hope you enjoy it!
@@rodemic I already have the røde NT1 but now added the boom stand and the NT USB+ my streams will be more convenient and enjoyable. Thank you! 💙
Please come out with another version without your logo. Will gladly purchase 6 of it for my podcast. I hope Rode will learn a thing or 2 from the Elgato Wave Mic Arm. like adding weight for heavier mics and make the springs even stronger. Minimal logo, people go for SM7B because it looks so clean on camera and here you are putting your unsightly logo all over. Who even make all these decisions? The logo on the boom arm is an instant contraceptive.
Please...for the love of all that is holy; make the logos matte black or remove them from second portion of the arm. I love the arm.
Looks like a logical progression from the PSA1. I liked that model so much I have one in my VO Booth and the other on my Studio’s mixing desk for Podcasts and Zoom meetings.
Yes! I love my PSA1 arm. I may have to get the + as well !!
The branding is so massive, this arm should be free, as the value of it being featured in thousands of videos far outweighs the price, lmao
Im soo pumped im going to Receive mine tomorow
Enjoy 👑
Love the original with the balance with Røde mics, now look at this tight BOOM ARM! I can feel upgrades coming to the studio 🎙🤘🏾
Really nice update! Are you planning a low-profile version too? ;)
Looks like this might be a good time to get a deal on a secondhand PSA1 v1.
Great arm, but the logo looks too aggressive, and it is incompatible with my NT2A Kit :(.
Definitely would like to upgrade from my PSA!
I would buy the same exact mic and arm set as you have... how exactly do i connect it with my gaming pc or laptop
Hey TK! If you have a PodMic, this is an XLR microphone and you'll need an audio interface to connect it to your computer, such as the AI-1, the RØDECaster Duo or Streamer X.
@@rodemic Thanks for your quick answer! I do have one more question: can i buy the PSA1 and the NT-USB+ and connect it just with the audio 3.5mm?
The design of the arm is great. The logos are not.
Cannot wait to try this boom arm
It looks Amazing! I can't wait to try this out for myself.
Would have loved to see some kind of resistance in the hole where the arm goes into the base. The arm rotates by itself if the desk is just a slight but crooked. Could just be some rubber inside the hole or something
I know you guys are so proud of this product and you should be! BUT PLEASE adjust the branding to something more subtle ;)
Thanks Adrian, it's on our radar 😏
It's on your radar? It's the majority of comments and user feedback on this video. Just call your manufacturer and tell them to stop printing your huge white logos all over the sleeves.
That's a lot of advertisement for a boom arm.
Hope it’ll be available soon also here in Italy. It looks amazing!
Looks promising. I'll be sure to hide the distracting logos.
the psa1 is 85 Euro on amazon
the psa1+ is around 135 Euro.
so youre telling me i have to pay 50 bucks for rode ads on my boom arm?
a bit early for april fool's dont you think?
So is there going to be a blackout version soon? Or a PSA2? I'm afraid to buy if it's going to be updated again.
No updates on a PSA2 at the moment, so we'd recommend jumping on it!
"The first thing you may have noticed ... is the protective sleeve" 🤣 - Said no one ever.
Glad I didn't get the PSA1 just a few months back. That said, any plans to bring attachable sleeves to the old PSA1 model? Keen for an update to your M5 and NT5 mics
Looks great. Was only thinking the other day that you would release an updated version. Love your gear. Tim in Dublin Ireland
I need this in my life.
Going to have to update to this.
This is clean! 👏🏻
Looking very nice. I will love it to have one for review 😉👍
I love Rode but the trademark all over the arm looks awful :(
I"m sold. after buying a blue compass for my yeti nano, ic ouldn't get it to wher i want the mic to be with al lthe tension it had. now i'll just invest 30 more bucks and buy this microphone arm thats is also current, also we should get a discount for pre ordering.
Got one few weeks ago , sadly it makes weird noises during mic repositioning . Unacceptable for quite expensive brand new product and only few weeks of usage - Like
crackling or creak sound ..maybe coming from desk mount or scissor mechanism . Any solutions ? i think this is not normal behavior .
Hi there! Really sorry to hear you're experiencing those issues with the PSA1+. The arm shouldn't be making those kinds of noises when repositioning! Get in touch with us at info@rode.com and we'll help you sort out the issues!
super clean! need to get my hands on one of these
Great except for the the sleeves. The fact that they are not removable and even worse that the huge tacky Rode logos are an eye sore is causing me to not want to buy the PSA1+. It seems that the thought process here was that since the original PSA1 is so popular and seen in so many setups in so many videos, the PSA1+ is going to be just as popular if not more popular so you put those big ass logos on there with no way to remove them except by cutting them in order to get some free advertisement by way of product placement in the videos of people that will use the PSA1+. The thing is most folks would rather permanently remove them by cutting the sleeves off than have that eye sore in their videos. Or they would just stick with the original PSA1 which is still great and save money in the process. If you would have made the sleeves removable with something like velcro and made the logos smaller and more subtle, the PSA1+ would be perfect. I'm actually in the market for a boom arm and I'm buying the original PSA1 over the PSA1+ in order to have a nicer classier looking product and not look like I'm being sponsored by Rode...
2:43 Pretty good idea with the office desk and cable ports, but there is usually a cable duct underneath. If I now use this cable port for the PSA1+, I can no longer reach this cable duct because the thread and the lock nut of the PSA1+ make access to this cable duct difficult or impossible. Is there a solution for this?
Good thing I didn't get the previous version yet. Now this one is slick! I just hope it's available in the Philippines T_T
I have a PSA1 I don’t see any compelling reason to upgrade unless I am missing something.
no we need low profile boom arm
Still disappointed that it can't hold that much weight compared to the VIVO mic stand.
sorry røde but can't see why I need to replace my psa1 out yet, 😏😔 by that I mean, can not see the new by psa1 +
i want to be the focal point, not the over the top rode branding
Awesome!! 😄
those logos ruin it, sorry
Why would you *not* feature the cable management in the sleeve? This arm feels super counterintuitive and honestly feels like a downgrade from the original
OMG PLEASE SHOW THE FULL RANGE OF MOVEMENT OF ALL PARTS! Why does no reviewer do this!?
Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see, we've passed on your feedback to the team.
how is this device connected to the phone for cable broadcast
Can the end fully rotate to be pointing straight down? I'd like to use it with my mobile phone adapter to shoot overhead product shots.
If you mean "can you have it so the thread that connects the arm to other accessories is pointing at the ground" then yes, you can do that! 😎
Exactly what I was trying to say 🙂 thanks for the swift reply!@@rodemic
Very nice! Does it support the Blue Yeti Pro?
It supports all microphones (and accessories) between 94g and 1.2kg!
NT-USB is upside down ?
1:33 Sure, why not? It won't have an effect on your voice.
Will the clamp work with a desk thickness of grater than 3 inches?
Hi Eric! Unfortunately the max thickness that the clamp will work with is roughly 2.75 inches.
Just bought one, but yeah them logos... at least offer up a stealth black on black option or maybe pay a little more for a logo delete.
Does this product come as the arm plus the mic?
No, however Authorised retailers may offer bundle deals of the PSA1+ and our wide range of mics!
I wanna buy this✅
when is it being released?
They're currently on their way to dealers all over the world!
@@rodemic would love to add this to my setup for UA-cam with my pod mic! Any upcoming Black Friday deals??
Is there a floor mount mic stand compatible with this?
Hey Scotty, the PS1+ is designed to clamp or be screwed into a desk, so a free standing (without a desk) solution may be difficult to find.
Would the new videomic go ii be suitable for use with this boom arm? (I have concerns it’s going to be too light)
Hey Scott, we've tested this and it works perfectly 😊
@@rodemic thank you so much for the response, appropriate orders placed.
Where can I mount a pop filter on it without damaging it?
Hey there, if you’re looking to add a pop filter to your PodMic, you can simply use a WS2 windshield which is a great way to stop plosives.
does this have a shorter reach than the PSA1 or offer less height, or is it exactly the same?
The horizontal and vertical reach are both improved with the PSA1+!
is the sleeves removable
Great
😱😱😱 I wanna be a rode ambassador here in tahiti 🙏🏻
This can be an answer to the elgato wave mic arm
Er, it looks pretty much the same but with a sleeve 🤔
hey i would like to know can the blue yeti x attach the rode psa1+ thx
Yes you can, you will just need to remove the desk stand and ensure you have the proper thread adaptor
@@rodemic Awesome thanks!
Can I add a video camera using a 1/4 20 mount?
As long as it's between 94g and 1.2kg, you can use anything!
I can't connect to iphone 12 tiktok broadcast need help
👍🏾
Yall can remove the logo with t-shirt logo remover
Does anybody knows what mic is that he has attached called?
PodMic!
I bought one.
