You need a strong pre-amp or something to the effect of a Cloudlifter. I nearly maxed out the Focusrite gain knob at 9-o'clock. That said, I did notice that this microphone does need a good amount of gain to get decent levels. If it can handle bigger lights like mine, I do not doubt that this arm can handle any microphone you throw at it. To give you an idea of how well these arms work, I have been using my original one to hold a Sokani ењ†0, a 7lb LED light that I use for my product shots. Its attachment piece at the end is 5/8-inch, and the package includes a 3/8-inch adaptor.ДЄssuming that this 512-BBA boom is the same as the one I already had, I would expect it to be just as durable for a very long time. You also get five decently long Velcro wraps for cable management. Its sturdy metal C-clamp has a protective pad on each side that can open up to two inches. It has a horizontal reach of 31.5 inches and a vertical of 32 inches.

I have an identical arm which I purchased years ago off Amazon by a different brand. Compared to cheaper and smaller boom arms (which are typically included in generic microphone kits on Amazon and should be avoided with larger microphones like this), this has a higher build quality with plenty of length and articulation to get your mic in the right place.

I've been using and testing the Limelight with their 512-BBA adjustable microphone boom arm which supports payloads up to 3 lbs and is available as a separate purchase for $79.99.
