Excellent quality!
TrEr 20.10.2017
Great product, excellent build quality. Works as advertised, no problems whatsoever.

Extra points for having separate European and American threads on each end. This has already saved me many time consuming searched for those tiny adapters that always seem to disappear when you need them.

Great product of the typical excellent K&M quality. Highly recommended!

Thomann only,,,,
Peter R. 438 14.08.2023
By the quality & reliability of many items I have received from thomann over the years, I simply expect everything from thomann to be very good, here again is another example of thomann choice of "yes" or "no" to stocking items.
This short boom is so well designed with a different mic thread on each end, it can be used for many different on'stage jobs. I use it as a small gig mic boom, on a cast iron base mic stand.
I use a big body guitar, so I need at least my guitars 'fatness' between my mic stand and my 'mouth' this boom is that exact fatness plus enough for me to move some to the music, perfect, & I can screw a counter ballance of a few ounces on the other end of the boom, which really stabilises my mic & it's stand.
The centre se/saw screw is plenty strong & tough, so no mic droop 'as you sing'.
All told, this little boom is exactly all I needed for my few small venue gigs.
I suppose thomann must test run their stock items on stage, for a yes or no to stock items.
Only good for us musicians. ☑️🎶

More useful than you'd think
mjfe2 23.10.2017
We got this after reading the Sound on Sound review. It's useful for sessions where you want to 'hang' an LDC mic from above a singer, though you'll need a substantial boom arm to support a mic this way. Handling is generally good but it's a shame they didn't make both threads 3/8" because adapters to make the thread bigger are more ubiquitous than 5/8->3/8" ones, and you then don't have the k&m threaded washer.

Great ad on to my mic stands
HowieCapowie 18.01.2019
I ordered 2 of these to use as add on's on my mic stands and use them as overheads. they are buildt sturdy and does the job. The price is nothing to say about.
a clever solution is that they have both std mic stand threads in each side of the boom arm. This allows for creative use, and you can have 2 mic's on one boom (mid/side or blumlein config.) depending in the mic attachment .. i have yet to try it out, but it will be down the line).

Well made with good features
BernieW 08.09.2022
I used this to replace the boom on a K&M 25993 for kick drum. With heavier or unbalanced mics like an RE20 I don't want the telescopic boom arm, as it tends to twist. However, I discovered that boom has a 5/8" hole and this one has 3/8". Luckily you can swap the parts from the middle clamp section with this one and they are all compatible. I also used the K&M Capstan Head to customise this stand to just what I want. K&M offer many useful spares and Thomann is the easiest and cheapest way to get them

Don't order the K&M 21105 Counterweight with this !
Mossie 25.06.2019
I bought the mini boom so that I could suspend my Rhode mic over a music stand - easier for recording singers. It works fine but I had to hacksaw off one end to get the Counterweight to fit. The threaded silver parts are not removable and I found out (too late) from the Help desk that this product is not compatible with the Counterweight (even though the latter comes up as a 'related product' ..

Brilliant.
sacilc 14.01.2022
Really solid build. Easy enough to adjust and brilliant it comes with two different threads on opposite ends. Love the fact it can be adjusted sit vertically, as I use it often to just make a "lowest setting" mic stand just that little bit taller.

Quality stuff
Fredric 17.06.2014
K&M makes hi quality stuff. This small boom arm is perfect for small spaces. I now have two; one for miking the amp, the other for my vocal microphone. Makes it easy to put everything in a small bag. An extra plus for the possibilitie to use either side of the arm for small or big hole in the microphone holder.

Great product
MrMiagi 08.08.2023
I just wish it was shorter, because this is the shortest the make (I have low ceiling) in the booth. I use this to angle from the boom-arm and attach the shockmount to this. So it doesn't need to be long just to make an angle.

Nice stand But
paulkeys 04.07.2018
Nice stand but be careful when ordering because the length dimensions don't take into account the 'hidden' part of the boom arm which goes into the hole of the clamp!
But overall a great quality product!
