Does it's job
There's two main issues with the mount:
1. It comes with it's own cable, that doesn't seem particularly good in quality, and cannot really be replaced as it goes inside the frame.
2. At certain angles you end up having to fight the mount, the springs are constantly trying to put it in an angle you don't want it in.
Additionally some bits of the frame are perfect for cutting cables, if you accidentally end up with a cable between some of the moving bits you can kiss goodbye to the cable.
Other than that it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Put it on the edge of your table and you can swivel your mic around a fair bit.
It could be a bit longer in reach as well, but I wouldn't say it's a significant issue with this product - I'm sure I could just find a longer arm if I really needed a mount with a longer arm.

Good Value Product
I got this to put a microphone on my desk, because except for recording music, I spend a lot of time on voice chats for gaming (and I hate the microphones on gaming headsets) and recording podcasts/courses/... This helped me to safe a lot of space and I have no trouble anymore with microphone stands for easy set ups when I just need 1 microphone for (spoken) voice recording.
Very straight forward product: use it right out of the box, some options on how to connect it to your desk, sturdy,... The only con I can find is the somewhat cheap XLR cable integrated in it and no way to exchange with other cables that I own. Nothing too bad of course, but this might be an obstacle.

A solid Microphonestand for its Price.
I am using this microphone arm for quite some years now. It has proven itself very useful and diverse over the time and adapted to my various hobby studio changes very well.
While one has to acknowledge, that this is not a professional arm and is definitely not something to work flawlessly with, it has everything a mic stand needs. The included XLR cable was quickly swapped with a USB one to fit a Rode NT USB with shock-mount Its accompanied accessories for mounting the stand to pretty much any place are a huge plus for hobby studios that change a lot and depend on a flexible setup.
There are still some drawbacks though:
-One may not move the mic stand while recording since it tends to do some screeching noises while doing so.
-Getting the mic into the right position is quite a "frickely" task to do since its frame is a little bendy.
-When moving the mic a lot, the fixating screws tend to loosen themselves and have to be re-tightened every so often.
In conclusion this stand is an absolute bang for the buck. While it has a few drawbacks i personally would still buy it again for its flexibility of use.

A Perfect Desk Arm
A great desk arm for microphones, a real space saver in my studio!
Easy to handle & neat .
The springs are a bit tight when you first get it, so it needs some breaking in (or a heavy microphone).
& you could always remove a spring if you use light mics.
Overall a great buy!

Overall OK
Nothing fancy but reliable when it comes to stability. Sometimes (rarely) get buzzing or ground noise from the factory cable that came with it and that would be my only complaint.

Great mic stand, funny cable
The stand is great, it attached to my "StudioRTA Creation Station" from Thomann great! The cabling going through it's body is quite a pain to get just right so it reached my condenser mic and could also bend and be stored, you have to fidget with it a bit. Otherwise 5/5!

Its perfect but it likes it ring when moved
I have used it for a year plus and im buying a new one. the cord on it is nice and long. The only reason I didn't find this perfect was that the springs like to wine when moved.

great budget stand
I bought this to use with several microphones from my desk - primarily vocal microphones, a røde m2, a pencil condenser - no problems at all.
Also comes with no less than 3 mounting options AND screws for your desk.
Why four stars?:
my only possible criticism is that the main locking screw on the microphone mount itself could be constructed a little better.
Even when it's at it's tightest it's still possible to rotate it side to side,
So if you're using a top-heavy microphone at a 90-degree angle, you may have an issue.
If you're using light microphones such as handhelds, pencil condensers, etc - go for it, it's perfect :)

Although average
Although average in quality, I'd buy it again. And if you are looking for a budget boom arm, I'd with confidence recommend it.

Sturdy, but makes noise
It's a decent table stand, but you can't touch it while recording, because springs makes noise.
