Maono BA92 Low Profile Boom Arm Review

The Maono BA92 low profile mic boom arm is a solid choice for a low profile boom arm that doesn't break the bank. In some cases, a low profile arm can get you better positioning than a traditional boom arm, and the BA92 is a nice option.

great well in depth review! with so many boom arms out there, its hard to find reviews on these newer ones from the bigger brands and in general.

[@semiprotech]

thank you! there definitely are a ton on the market now, and thankfully a lot of them are better than they used to be!

[@naormeningher]

Very helpful!

[@shellw1506]

Thank you for comparing various camera angles with the boom arm.

[@edrozenberg]

Thanks for the review, and esp. your past keyboard reviews! (using a Nuphy 75v2 now). Low profile and square boom arms do look better than the hideous articulated ones with the springs. I find boom arms in many videos to be hideous, cutting across 1/2 or 3/4 of the middle of the frame, and then some tubers add in huge ugly mics with disgustingly ugly pop filters. Not a cool look unless it’s 100% for radio. In many cases it works quite well to use a standard vertical mic desk stand of appropriate height, a lot of which can be out of the frame, than to use any type of hideous boom arm.

[@semiprotech]

Thank you! Totally agree that the positioning and appearance on camera is important unless you're doing audio-only.

[@TheJimboy77]

Nice review, I have the Elgato low profile boom arm and Wave 3 mic, I came to very similar conclusions about using one for removing the mic from shot .
I had previously been using a Blue Yeti and a Tonor over head boom arm but i constantly struggled with positioning.
I know exactly what you mean about the magnetic panels though it's probably the biggest downside to the Elgato arm.

[@semiprotech]

Thank you! It was actually the elgato low profile arm I was referencing - it wasn't a problem if I never moved the arm but when I would swivel it out of the way I always popped one of the covers off, super annoying. Otherwise I really liked it!

[@nonenobody5272]

The screw mount on the end seems like an easy failure point.

[@zeleknoon]

ngl this looks like the beacn mic arm but cheaper
