Executive Desk Position Facing Wall

This arm has a long reach, which I needed for a sit/stand desk with dual monitors. It is super-strong, built like a tank, and seems like it will last for years. I wall-mounted it with the OC White wall mount (MFR #11426-B) about 12 to the right of the right-hand monitor, 12 above the desk in the standing position, and about 8 behind the monitors. From this location, I can position the mic anywhere I want, whether I'm sitting or standing on the left or right side of the desk, and it STAYS EXACTLY WHERE I PUT IT (except that I can pan it very smoothly left-right with a light touch, since it pivots easily on the heavy duty base). I was initially concerned that it wouldn't work with lightweight mics, because some other heavy-duty arms require a heavy microphone to counterbalance the spring tension, but I'm using this arm with a lightweight Sennheiser e835 (approx 12 oz) and it works just fine. In fact, it stays in position without any microphone at all, yet it feels like it could also hold a very heavy mic with no problems. If there are any cons, it would be that the springs are almost too stiff, and I sometimes need two hands to position the microphone because there are two joints (it doesn't always bend at the desired joint if you try to move it with only one hand). But the pros definitely outweigh cons. This mic arm is in a different league from the less expensive arms (although they look similar in pictures, but trust me, they are very different).

Very large, more for an executive style desk that is more than 3ft deep

I use this for executive/business headshots. In an environment where you have to work fast the X Drop is a lifesaver. For years I've used 4ft seemless--it's so annoying and is always wrinkled and not to mention the fact that it's not as wide as the X Drop which is hugely helpful for tight spaces so that you can cover from frame edge to edge. Only 1 minor downside is the back leg of the tripod sticks out pretty far keeping you from putting it up against the wall. But I easily just collapse that leg and lean it or secure it on a stand to put it closer to the wall--Works JUST fine! LOVE how compact it is!

I wanted this stool so I could get rid of the big executive chair I sit at my desk in. In a video shot, or still image, the chair itself takes up too much space. The stool telescopes to the desired height effortlessly.

I have a Fujifilm X-E2S camera body with MHG-XE hand grip and XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4.0 zoom lens and this pouch fits perfectly with lens hood mounted in facing out position (lens hood in storage position there's a little wiggle room). The neoprene is stretchy enough that I believe a L-Plate bracket + grip like RRS's BXE2 would still fit. It's worth mentioning that I also have the XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 lens and it will also fit but only with the lens hood in facing in storage position but you definitely have to stretch the neoprene a bit more and its harder to secure the snaps but it works. I use a larger padded bag for permanent storage and air travel but in situations when I want to throw the camera in a backpack for a hike this works great.

Crushes the Sony version like a grape. The Sony Mark 2 handle is an improvement over the original FS7 handle but still left we wanting more flexibility. The arm length extension slipped from day one out of the box and would not tighten. Loosening the rosette screw to move from a tripod mounted position (rear facing) to a handheld position (front facing) is time consuming, you missed shots. The Shape red button is one push and the rotation happens. The extension arm no longer slips with the shape handle so a win all around. The only note is the silver barrel that the red button is located on sticks out from the camera quite a bit. Not a problem while shooting but I have a pre-cut Jason hard case for my camera and it sticks out too far to place it in the case while attached. Small price to pay for the improved functionality while using the camera.

This unit is solid and easy to configure. Decide if you want your right hand facing up or down in the vertical position when you choose right or left handed.

Because of the way my M1 iMac is places on my computer desk, getting to the rear-facing USB ports is a major pain. No longer... This is the accessory that one wonders why it didn't exist before. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Good wall mount. Easy to change position

Make sure you’re desk has enough support if your not wall mounting it
