Elgato Low Profile Mic Arm - Review Redux
The Elgato Low Profile boom arm has undergone some major improvements since its original release several years ago, so I decided to order a new one and re-review it to see how it performs. They really did fix everything I critiqued in my original review, including the magnetic cable management covers, which are now incredibly strong and much more effective. It's a key feature of the arm, so the weak magnets in the original were always frustrating. •Elgato Low Profile Arm: https://geni.us/wavearmlp (Amazon) ⏱️Chapter Markers: 0:00 - Why Use A Low Profile Arm? 2:07- Design & Build Quality 2:59 - Mic Mounting Options 5:27 - Tension Adjustment 6:21 - Cable Routing 7:02 - Stronger Magnetic Covers! 8:55 - Conclusion ——————————————————————— Affiliate links earn a commission from qualifying purchases which helps support my channel at no additional cost to you. —————————— SUPPORT THE CHANNEL —————————— Become a Channel Member: https://geni.us/joinchannel Donate: https://buymeacoffee.com/tombuck ——————————— CONNECT ——————————— 🎯 Subscribe! http://bit.ly/TEPsub Instagram: @sodarntom Main Site: https://himynameistom.com Podcasts: https://himynameistom.com/podcasts ———————— ROYALTY FREE MUSIC ———————— •Artlist.io (2 Extra Months Free): https://geni.us/ArtlistTom •Epidemic Sound (30 Day Free Trial): http://share.epidemicsound.com/enthus... ——————————— VIDEO GEAR ——————————— •Ecamm Live Streaming Software: https://geni.us/ecammtom •Sony FX3 (Main Camera): https://bhpho.to/3EJuBde (B&H) •Sony a7SIII: https://bhpho.to/3f8mMlS (B&H) •Sony a7IV: https://bhpho.to/33mOGZo (B&H) •Sony 24 1.4 (Main Lens): https://geni.us/sony24 (Amazon) •Tamron 20-40 2.8: https://geni.us/Rp3NeMc •Zeiss 85 1.8: https://geni.us/zeissbatis (Amazon) •Sony 70-200: https://bhpho.to/3B4tCr2 (B&H) •Elgato Prompter: https://geni.us/elgatoprompter (Amazon) •Anamorphic Lens: https://bhpho.to/309H0rV (B&H) •GoPro Hero 13: https://geni.us/gopro13 •Rodecaster Video: https://bhpho.to/3Ub88j2 (B&H) •DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone : https://geni.us/I2e0AB (Amazon) •Tri-Charge: https://geni.us/ZYdV3dh •YoloBox for Mobile Streams: https://bhpho.to/3pc8qHU (B&H) ——————————— AUDIO GEAR ——————————— •Rodecaster Pro II: https://bhpho.to/3wCwaqI (B&H) •Sennheiser MKH 50: https://geni.us/mkh50 (Amazon) •Shure SM7B: https://geni.us/tepsm7b (Amazon) •Earthworks Ethos: https://bhpho.to/3CthFs4 (B&H) •Lewitt LCT 240 Pro: https://geni.us/4fww (Amazon) •Sony Video Mic: https://bhpho.to/3ztb6Vb (B&H) •Tall Mic Arm: https://geni.us/A39EvH (Amazon) •Short Mic Arm: https://geni.us/zc7hAbW (Amazon) •Sennheiser Wireless System: https://bhpho.to/43JgqkL (B&H) •Rode Headphones: https://bhpho.to/3JNacqg (B&H) •Blue XLR Cable: https://geni.us/bluexlr —————————— LIGHTS & SUPPORTS —————————— •Nanlite Forza 200 (Key Light): https://geni.us/9Ofr (Amazon) •Aputure Light Dome Mini: https://bhpho.to/4eMAiJs (B&H) •Small Nanlite RGB Tube Lights: https://geni.us/nanlite (Amazon) •Big Nanlite RGB Tube Lights: https://geni.us/pavotubes (Amazon) •Aputure MC RGB Light: https://geni.us/IuE4 (Amazon) •Rolling Camera Stand: https://bhpho.to/3PbJGg3 (B&H) •Big Tripod: https://bhpho.to/3lRoTyz (B&H) •Small Tripod: https://geni.us/oQOh3Az (Amazon) •Travel Tripod: https://geni.us/nlUBm (Amazon) •Overhead Camera Mount: https://geni.us/ISBKAIv (Amazon) •Motorized Slider: https://bhpho.to/3ztKMJA (B&H) •Camera Backpack: https://geni.us/aEH2 (Amazon) ——————————————————————— 🎥 Check out my full gear list here:https://himynameistom.com/gear ——————————————————————— – Who Am I? – Hi!
