Avid BM88 Low Profile Boom Arm Stand 29 inch 1.5kg

Low-profile boom arm for desk-mounted microphones

The Avid BM88 is a low-profile microphone boom arm designed for podcasters, streamers and gamers who need a desk-mounted solution that stays below monitor level. Its all-metal construction and C-clamp base keep the arm steady on flat desktops without slipping or scratching the surface. The arm extends to 29 inches and supports microphones up to 1.5 kg, making it suitable for typical broadcast and USB microphones. It is not intended for heavier studio microphones that exceed the stated weight limit.

Reach and adjustment limits of the articulated arm

The boom provides 29 inches of horizontal reach and rotates 360 degrees horizontally, while the vertical joints allow up to 220 degrees of up-down movement. The segment nearest the C-clamp cannot tilt vertically, which restricts how low the microphone can hang directly above the clamp. Cable management channels are integrated along the arm to keep wiring tidy and prevent cable pull during repositioning. Users needing greater vertical articulation at the base joint will find this constraint limiting.

Metal build, C-clamp mounting and thread adapters

The stand is built from painted black metal weighing 1300 grams and measures 14.33 inches wide, 12.83 inches high and 9.06 inches deep when assembled. The C-clamp secures to desk edges without permanent modification and includes screw adapters for 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch microphone threads. This compatibility covers most common podcasting and streaming microphones. The fixed dimensions mean the arm requires sufficient desk depth and clearance behind the monitor for full extension.
