      Hi. Just purchased this and, like many others that have made comments, I cannot get the arm to set in one position. it just springs back to full height. Is there a locking clip or something that can hold it in place, or at least make it stiffer?

    WARNING: Thank you so much for this. I went with the Rode PSA1 for my Shure SM7B and I am so happy with it. I have one thing to say, though. If you are ordering from Amazon, make sure that your PSA1 does not ship from Amazon's warehouses but from the seller directly. It's just that if it ships from Amazon, there is a big chance that they have a warehouse process where the middle articulation gets pressured against something and it breaks. I got one like that and it comes with a broken cable plastic router and it squeaked a lot (a metal against metal noise). I had to send it back. I then read a lot of people complaining about the same when getting it directly from Amazon. I ordered on Amazon but I went to "Available from these sellers" and bought one that said "Ships from [seller]" not from Amazon. The second one was bliss.

    Please, could you tell me the exact size of the arms in cm ? I only find the full extension, but is it like 40cm each arm really ? I have seen some cheap options, but they are only 35cm for each arm. What size do you reccomend ? I´ve seen people using 70cm and 80cm arms in professional radio stations.

  • @RoundheadRecords
    @RoundheadRecords 2 роки тому

    Outstanding video. I am looking at getting one fast. Can you tell me this? I have to do the drilling - which is fine. What I need to know - is between sessions or during editing, how hard is it to remove from the stem piece and store it. I do not mind leaving what one might call the stem - base - but it is a pain to pull off and store when not needed for desk space? Remember I can not use the clamp on. A quick repis ly appreciated - as I am looking at an over purchase where someone is selling two now.

    I have this same arm and mic. The silver piece that prevents the vertical movement works great but the spinning piece lets the mic spin with no resistance. The piece i'm talking about is where the shock mount attaches to the arm. I'm not sure what the silver washer is supposed to do either. Not sure if it's broken or you had to do something different. Would you know?
