FIFINE BM88P Low Profile Metal Microphone Boom Arm for Gaming Streaming

After spending years building custom water-cooled gaming setups and managing equipment through various roles in IT and content work, I have learned that the cleanliness of a workspace directly affects how productive and focused you can be. The FIFINE Boom Arm Mic Stand has done exactly what I hoped it would when I installed it on my desk. The cable management features built into the arm allowed me to declutter a significant amount of the cords that previously cluttered my workspace, which has made my entire setup look more professional and feel more functional during recording and streaming sessions. The build quality is another area where this boom arm stands out. The construction feels solid and well engineered, not the cheap flimsy material you find on lower priced alternatives that wobble or sag over time. The arm moves smoothly through its full range of motion and holds its position firmly once placed where I want it, which is critical when you are working on voice acting or podcast content and need the microphone exactly where it should be without constant readjustment. For the price point, the FIFINE Boom Arm delivers excellent value and I would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their podcast, streaming, or content creation setup without overspending.

This boom arm is a good purchase, I bought it with my Fifine microphone, the boom arm has excellent cable management for the USB hook up, but XLR is a different story. You'll need to manage an XLR cable your own, but other than that this boom arm is heavy duty, I've had it for a day testing and using it and here's my only complaints and enjoyment factors. The range of motion is insanely good, it's awesome, 360 and 180, even has a ball joint for extra movement of your microphone. Ease of use is as simple as it gets after you assemble it. Just move it around to your liking, play, make music or whatever it is you do. The ONLY complaints I have is the part you stick the arm in to hold it is a little.. Lacking? You need a somewhat thick desk, it can't be too thing or else it won't hold good. I had to place a small piece of cardboard for it to hold, and the assembly of the ball joint is a little confusing, you need to loosen it just enough to where the ball joint doesn't fall out and to where it can stick on the arm. I personally had to hold the ball join together as I tightened it to the arm. But other than that? The Value is great, you pay for something others would call cheap but this is close or even better than some professional boom arms. It's a very close competitor. Long story short, Good range of motion, Good bang for your buck, Ball joint assembly a little confusing, and the thing that holds the boom arm up is a little limited for thin desks.

This boom arm paired with my Fifine AM8 microphone has been a fantastic upgrade to my setup! It’s sturdy and low-profile, fitting neatly under my monitor stands, and the built-in cable management keeps everything looking clean (plus it helps keep my cats from chewing on the cords). When I’m streaming or recording, I can easily position and adjust the mic how I need it. Being able to bring it closer to my mouth has noticeably improved my audio quality, and since it’s suspended, it also minimizes unwanted desk noise. Overall, I highly recommend the BM88 for anyone looking for a high-quality boom arm at a low-cost!

First off, and the reason I bought it, the arm looks very nice. No exposed springs. Channels for well hidden cable management. It works very well with a few caveats. I'm using a very heavy Blue Yeti, so I did need to tweak the mount out of the box. You will need to use the included hex wrench to tighten/loosen the two joints to allow easy or tensioned motion of the main two part arm and table mount. There is also a finger tighten screw on a friction mounting to a ball joint threaded piece that mounts your mic. The only issue is that you may need to keep tweaking that to readjust the mic based on how you want it as you rotate the arm into position. It's easy to loosen to move and tighten to fix. One note is that the arm segment closest to the desk mount only rotates around that point and does not raise. This makes vertical height of the arm limited to the second arm segment (about 15"). Perfect for what I needed since I wanted an arm that I could move to the right in front of me while sitting and then move away after meetings. This does that perfectly while looking clean with hidden wires. One complaint is the provided adapter for 5/8" that is not 5/8". It was slightly smaller or a metric equivalent that did not fit my mic. I had to buy another adapter from 1/4" (the threaded end on the friction ball joint) to 5/8". Another $6 to the price. Annoying but not the end of the world. Overall, a good, discreet, good looking, low profile, and reasonably priced mic arm with great range of motion and extension for a desk mounted mic.

The microphone arm is great! Sturdy, I love that I can hide the cord, and it moves smoothly. I have mine relatively tight, so it takes a bit of effort to move. The ball joint that you screw the microphone onto is sturdy (I just wish the support was a little more open to allow it to move around more for repositioning). It does move up and down on the arm closest to the microphone, but NOT the arm closest to the clamp. The only other complaint I have is that the bolt doesn't screw all the way, so if your desk is like mine and is 1/2" thick, it won't tighten fully (I was able to resolve the issue with a thick piece of cork I have). Otherwise, it's a great support

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the BM88 definitely earned one. This mic arm has been a great addition to my setup. The build quality is solid, and the low-profile design is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve used a few mic arms before, and this one outperforms all of them. It’s sturdy, moves smoothly, and stays right where I place it. It also doesn’t get in the way of my monitor or block my view, which makes a big difference. Honestly, I don’t see myself needing another mic arm anytime soon bc this one does it all. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. It’s absolutely worth it.

=Intro= I have this Boom Arm attached to a Fifine AM8 for casual communication uses as I am upgrading my audio set-up to have a dedicated mic and headphone solution as opposed to a headset/mic combo, as the mic on my current headset is failing. =Aftersales Support= Originally when the arm came, the hand screw piece that clamps the mic down to the arm broke after I tightened it. I then reached out to Fifine Support [Rosie] about the issue, and after a few days, I had a brand new hand-screw part in hand at no cost to replace the old one, which now works and does not suffer from the same issue, so thank you for good after sales support on that. Now, as for the boom arm. =Physical Specs= The arm itself extends to a total length of ~28 inches, not including the length of your mic, which I feel is ample to position your mic roughly ~5 to 6 inches from your face even from a laid-back posture, if you were all the way pushed in to your desk. You can tighten the joints of the arm with included hex wrenches. I have not tested the tightness of the joints after tightening as that's not my use-case. The clamp itself has a very small desk footprint, taking up about 2.5 inches in width, and 2 inches in depth on the desk. The ball joint for adjusting the mic at the end of the boom arm is a bit finicky to adjust at first, as one clamp is responsible for adjusting the mic left and right, and also up and down. Luckily, the aforementioned hand-screw makes tuning this a bit easier. I've got it tightened to a point where I can adjust it with some force while tightened, but the mic still holds in place. =Cons/Feedback= Something that I wish they had added is the ability to drill the boom arm into your desk as opposed to a clamp, similar to a monitor stand. It's hard for me to tighten the arm entirely due to the clamp's position on my desk. This does not seem to be a common concept amongst other boom arms for some reason. Also, instead of a long hand screw to tighten the clamp from the underside, it would be nice if it was a cross-style or T-style hand screw so it would be easier to tighten the clamp in tight spaces [i.e, between desk legs and a drawer which is where my clamp is]. I'm not entirely sure if this is due to me over-tightening it, or adjusting it while tightened, but the ball-joint's powder coating seems to be scraping off a little. This doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the mic as a whole, or the overall general appearance, but just something to note. I do feel at times the clamp or the socket (unsure which) where the arm where the arm connects to the clamp is a tiny bit wobbly if I brush it with my arm, but I would say is stable at the end of the day. =Price= I got it on sale at ~40$, however even at MSRP, this is a solid buy as a beginner level boom arm. It holds my mic in place, pushes away easily when I don't want it there. Most other boom arms start at ~70$ from the research I had done from more established audio companies [Shure, Rode, Elgato, etc] for a hanging boom arm, with low-profile options costing more. I definitely feel like that this is a very competitive pricepoint for this boom arm.

This is a surprisingly solid boom, low CG and about zero wobble. Even the clamp to desk is quality and perfectly does its job. Quality engineered and manufactured. With the articulated arm, and the socket end, there are enough degrees of freedom to suit anywhere I may want to have the mic, with my standing desk in any position.

Realmente es una muy buena opción; el soporte es de perfil bajo, te permite ajustarlo de diferentes maneras, así como esconder los cables en su interior.

Qualidade a cima da media, ótima construção e material...sem contar que esteticamente deixa qualquer setup lindo

Pros: Does the Job. Moves freely but with some resistance when screws are tightened down. Doesn't feel sloppy (at least out of the box, time will tell) You can tell its not 200 dollar Boom arm but in day to day use it doesn't seam like it will make a difference. Looks reasonably clean. It it just a single bar design. The logo on the front is a bit in your face but if you view the pictures I added you can see that I removed mine and it looks much better. Excellent mounting versatility. The thread adapters fit my microphone perfectly (Elgato wave 3 with gimble mount) and seams they would fit most any. Above all it can be mounted upside down to the bottom of the desk and the clamp can be removed to allow it to mount with a screw. The stand off that the boom arm mounts to is hollow with a flange at the bottom that works well with heavy thread pan head screw. Functional easy to use cable management. Covers slide off and your cables can be laid inside. It is big enough to fit both my headphone cable as well as Microphone cable. Cost. Its cheap and still will deliver the desired performance of most any recreational gamer. Cons: Ball mount to the microphone has limited range of motion. If your boom arm is at a downward angle, coming from the side of your desk, mounted on top, it can not be adjusted to bring the microphone all the way back to vertical. If your microphone does not have a side to side adjustment it will sit at an angle which is more then anything aesthetically annoying. you hopefully will be able to adjust the mounting location in such a way that its not an issue. Does not seam to be an issue when undermounting the mount. It also sits a fair ways off the desk. If your monitors are less then 4 1/2 inches off your desk the first segment of the boom arm will not clear them. I included some pictures of how I set mine up. Decided to write a long detailed review because I was surprisingly pleased with this product and hope be helpful to others in choosing their products.
