How we ranked these mic boom arms

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: mini mic boom arm

Match the arm to the mic weight

Capacity decides whether an arm holds the mic. The InnoGear holds up to 3.3 lbs, and the Aokeo holds up to 2KG, so compare the mic weight against the capacity of the arm you pick. The FIFINE, K&M and OnStage arms give weights of 1.2 lb, 0.7 lb and 0.6 lb for the arm itself, which is a different figure from load capacity, so do not mix the two.

Check desk thickness and clamp type

A clamp that does not fit the desk cannot hold the arm. The InnoGear C-style clamp fits desktops up to 2.36 inches thick with flat edges, and the Aokeo fits tables less than 7cm thick. The FIFINE C-clamp uses thick rubber padding, and the K&M uses a wing nut clamp, so check the clamp style against the desk edge you have.

Low profile arms keep the desk clear

A low profile arm sits close to the desk and stays out of the sight line. The InnoGear lower arm sits 3.35 inches above the desk, and the Aokeo low profile shape extends across the bottom of the screen while hiding the cable under the arm. If the desk is crowded, a low profile arm keeps the space above the desk open.

Frequently asked questions

Which mini mic boom arm leads this list?

The InnoGear Low Profile Mic Arm leads with a lower arm 3.35 inches above the desk and a 3.3 lb weight capacity.

What is the difference between load capacity and arm weight?

Load capacity is how heavy a mic the arm holds, while arm weight is how heavy the arm itself is. The InnoGear holds up to 3.3 lbs, the Aokeo holds up to 2KG, and the FIFINE arm weighs 1.2 lb.

Do these boom arms fit any microphone?

No single arm fits all mics. The InnoGear includes 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch and 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapters, and the FIFINE comes with 3/8 inch thread and 5/8 inch adapters, so check the mic thread first.

Which arm folds away for storage?

The FIFINE arm folds away after use. The Aokeo arm is convenient to carry and store when going out, so either suits a desk that must clear after a session.
