3) Potential product issues to be avoided
Micdio has been in the industry of boom arm for over 6 years. During these years, we dealt with various kinds of boom arms in different designs and price ranges. And there are over 50 factories that produce the boom arm with the same appearance. Each boom arm that is identical in appearance may have many quality differences from different factories.
We tested over 10 kinds of boom arms and compared the boom arms from different aspects. During our process of optimizing supply chain, we found several product quality issues. A certain portion of the microphone arm stands couldn’t reach the bearing capacity as expected, or the arms failed to stay at the required angle after several days. Part of the arms produced noise when stretching and adjusting the height. And not a few of the clamp bases easily break after days of usage.
Good news is that all these problems won’t be your problems anymore with our experience, professionalism and reliability.
