Logitech Compass Premium Mic Boom Arm

I've owned this arm for almost three years now. PROS 1. Looks great. 2. Smartly designed cable management channel works very well! 3. Silent! Great for if you need to make small adjustments and don't want it to get picked up on mic (and you will need to make tons of adjustments). CONS 1. Fails in its primary task: Holding your microphone up. 2. Incredibly difficult to tighten. 3. Is not sturdy enough to hold to one position, requiring LOTS of micro-adjustments. I've owned this microphone arm for a very long time, and since the beginning it has more or less failed to work adequately, but it has only gotten worse as time has gone on. It used to be that it would sag about an inch after adjusting it, but would "settle" into place, so you could adjust it slightly too high and let it slowly sag into a position you actually found workable. Not a good time, but I could live with it. In order to get it to even lock into position this way you'd have to break your fingers trying to tighten it into place, because the "hand tightened friction hinges" as they call them are very uncomfortable to tighten down, and you'll have to tighten them 3x further than you'd expect to get them to function. There's a screw on the underside that you can adjust, but it is imprecise to say the least and does not seem to make much of a difference past a certain point. I've used this mic with a Blue Yeti, an Audio Technica AT-2035, and a Shure SM7b, and it fails to hold any of them up adequately unless you leave the first joint sticking straight up. I've heard other people say it's the middle joint that fails, but for me it's the longest/strongest one at the base of the arm. If I leave it sticking straight up, it will hold, but this position really only works for my Blue Yeti, and even then I don't find this useful for Streaming, maybe a podcast where you don't need to be on your computer much, but having a huge mic like a Yeti coming in from over the top of my head blocks all view to my monitors and is a pain. With the Shure SM7b, this isn't even a workable position, so I need it to stretch out to come in below my mouth, and from this angle the leverage makes it impossible to stay in place. This has only gotten worse with time, and at this point despite the $100+ investment, I have to throw this mic arm in the trash because it won't hold up my microphone at all anymore, and no matter how hard a tighten it down, it will immediately sag until it drops onto my tabletop. Completely useless to me. It's a beautiful mic arm and is very tempting to buy, but pass on this one.
