Works great for Blue Yeti!
This review is geared for Blue Yeti mic users. The consensus by other Yeti users seemed to be a mix of those saying it works and others saying the mic is too heavy. For $15 I took a chance and as you can see from my included photos it definitely holds the mic.
The mic stand is of average lightweight quality but the joints feel nice and sturdy and no tightening was needed at the main joints. Movement is solid and smooth and once you lock down the moving joints it's quite sturdy. As you can see from my included photos it easily holds the mic at a 45 degree angle, vertical, and inverted with no noticeable sag (although it does have a slight play at the mic attachment point which doesn't really cause much issue.)
The stand doesn't have full swivel movement but it definitely has enough back and forth movement to adjust it to your liking. Take note that the stand itself is of a smaller size with the length of the arm from one joint to another at about 14.5". Also the base where it clamps down opens to roughly 1.75" so make sure that your desk isn't overly thick. The stand does comes with an adapter so that you can mount the Yeti with no problems.
Overall, for the price it's a great stand. Since it pretty easily holds the heavy Yeti, it should be even better for smaller, lighter mics (NOTE: I recently purchased the AT2020USB as well and it works well with this mic as well.) The main reason I purchased this was to get rid of the slight knocking noise the Yeti would pick up from my keyboard/mouse use and this stand has essentially eliminated this, even with the stand clamped on the same desk. Great stand, great price, would definitely recommend. As long as you don't buy it with high expectations of a professional quality stand you should be happy.
