With a very long arm, taking too much space on a desktop, and having no respect for cable management, it’s no wonder why the design is not everybody’s favorite. But the one from Elgato may be more lucrative.

The Elgato Wave Mic Arm features a tension-adjustable arm and swivel base to help it move around. But unlike most boom arms, Wave Mic Arms can be ‘folded’ in a way that doesn’t take excessive space on your desktop.

This essentially makes the arm suitable not just for streamers, gamers, and podcasts, but users in offices and homes would also see the benefit of a cleaner desktop and unobstructed view of the computer screen.
