Gator Frameworks GFW-MIC-0022 - Telescopic Arm with Counterweight for Microphone Stand (Reach up to 72.4 cm)
The Gator Frameworks GFW-MIC-0022 is a counterbalanced telescopic boom arm designed to extend the reach and flexibility of any microphone stand with a standard thread. Its 1.13 kg counterweight balances microphones and shock mounts, keeping the assembly stable even at maximum extension, while the telescopic design provides a reach of up to 72.4 cm (28.5"). It is designed for desktop and low-profile stands and is compatible with both US and EU microphone clips . It also features integrated cable management for a clean and professional setup.
Some product descriptions mention it as a "68 cm arm"; however, the manufacturer specifies a maximum reach of 724 mm , which provides additional leeway to position the microphone accurately without compromising balance.
