Hack for putting Blue Yeti back on stand 

I was able to fix my microphone thanks to your video!!! You're my hero!!!!!!

Thank you for this. I thought I was nuts or incompetent. This is an EXTREMELY annoying design flaw. Thanks again

There's an easy way to do this that does not require any glue of any kind. 1. Assuming your mic is completely off the stand at this point, set it aside 2. Take your knob, three metal washers, rubber gasket and o-ring, and get them ready by doing the following A. Thread the three metal rings on to the screw (with the big head that you turn to tighten/loosen the mic itself B. Put that through one of the stands arms that hold the mic C. Place the rubber gasket and o-ring, contour facing IN towards the mic (it's supposed to sit flush against the mic capsule) on the inside of the mic stand arm. D. Slightly screw the knob until it catches the gasket. Make sure the gasket is flat against the arm so you can slide the mic in (important later) E. Repeat for the other side F. Slide your mic down in between the two arms and line up the screws to the holes on the mic G. While holding your mic in place, screw in one side until it catches the threads of the mic H. Repeat on the other side I. Tighten things up until you've hit a happy place. Your mic should not move on its own, but should move freely when you want it to! Enjoy!

Just struggled through this yesterday. I managed by laying the mic on its side and doing one at a time, but didn't think of this. Smart and simple. Thanks for sharing.

The rubber washer fits behind the plastic spacer next to the mic body. These are there to absorb sound sent through the sound like when you tilt the mic. Stops washer wearing . Gluing the spacers is a bad idea guys if your serious about sound quality. the two thick washers go rough side facing each other with the smooth washer in between them

It is truly incredibly easy, one side after the other. There are only metal washers on the outside of the stand, and one plastic washer with a rubber insert on the inside of the stand. There are 3 metal washers in total on the outside. There order goes as follows; flat, wavy, flat. Place the 3 metal washers on the peg, then place the plastic washer against the mic aligned with the screw hole on the mic, using the stand to hold it in place while you slide the mic into the correct positions. While the mic is in place and you manage to align the plastic washer with the screw hole and the hole on the base, insert the peg through the base, through the plastic washer, and into the mic. The other side can be done easily as the mic should be staying in place with just one side screwed in. Total parts. 6 metal washers - 4 flat - 2 wavy (wavy washers act as a spring, allowing compression) 2 large plastic washers with connected rubber inserts 1 stand 2 pegs 1 yeti mic.

I have 6 metal washers, 2 plastic ones, and two knob screws...now what? It would have been nice had you shown what order everything goes in before you super glued everything because thats why I'm here

OMG Thank you for making this video! I recently dismantled bm Yetti to move and I am beyond frustrated and angry at trying to put humpty dumpty back together again. Thank you so much for the great hack. I can't believe someone thought up this stupid design. WoW.

Man, I have been trying forever with no glue, so you know what happened. I just want to thank you so much for the help!

Thanks for the video...a huge help! After watching your video seeing how you slid the mic up through instead of down through the top I decided to give it a try without glue (don't have any, and didn't want to leave residue if I went back to a boom). So the trick, which is actually VERY easy is to thread one bolt at a time. This gives you plenty of room to slide the other black washer up the other side...grab a small screwdriver to line up the holes and then insert the other bolt. Wouldn't have figured it out without your video, so thank you Michael!

Correcting my previous comment: Sticking the plastic washer to the Yeti stand, prevents the microphphone from being tilted or turned. Furthermore, only apply superglue if you know how to remove it-- just in case.

You may also stick the plastic washer on the stand (not to ruin the microphone)--the superglue does indeed take the paint off the stand so you have to be quite careful and precise when applying the glue. However, one may even devise a better way if one could ever discover how the unit was originally assembled!

Short and sweet, just the way I like my problems solved :)

Yep! You did help me. Except that I prefered to use 3M™ Double Coated Tape instead of glue for keeping the rubber disk in place.

i used something tiny like very small scissors to scoot the black ring, while i layed the microphone side ways. i also had it pushed up with one hand and pressed on it. make sense?

Exactly what I needed - thank you!

any way to do it without glueing or doing anything like that?

It is taking me forever ♾ thanx for the tip

Any ideas on what to use if you lost the washer parts

mine came from amazon with the screw holes already messed up, you simply can not tighten it since the thread inside the mic is all messed up. I am sending it back, did anyone else experienced this?

I think my problem is that the space between is too big 😭 Even if i stick the spacer to the mic there is still room left, so one of either side is just loose no matter what

Can you put it on the Stand without the spacers?

Good idea gluing the spacers on. I have a prob with my mic where one of the holes on the side of the base of the mic itself has gotten a bit wide for the screw even with the spacers and washers. Any suggestions?

What size is the washers that go inside the spacers I lost those trying to replace.

Great video! Do you know where I can purchase a stand for the blue yeti? I recently purchased one but came without the stand?

Is there a way to take the glue off if you do put the glue on?

Does anyone know the size of the side screws?

It looks as if the mike stand socket is available simply by swivelling the desk stand out of the way. Why remove it, if it's hard to put it back on? 🤔

So helpful! Thanks!

Well, it's not the most elegant solution, but it works. Cheers!

That is genius. I'm flipping my mic between desk and boom frequently and this solves a really annoying problem. Amazing!!

my right screw doesnt work anymore, and I cant find replacements

thanks buddy!

I was able to get it back together but the contour of the rubber washers they don’t stay seated they just flip sideways and just flop around in there

0:52 The black rubber washer is in the wrong spot. If you look on the inside of the grey plastic washer, there's a spot where the black washer perfectly fits inside of it. This tutorial is incorrect and the superglue idea is an easy way to ruin your microphone.

Bro i got a stripped screw off one side of my Blue yeti which requires service ....How shall I unscrew it...??

It's not that hard, put the bolts in the stand with the spacers on the inside on the bolts, then bring in the mic and fit it between them.

Thank God for this contribution

I managed to put mine together without glue :)

What about the rubber and washer? How was that setup?

used tape then removed it very tricky tho

My mic's screws don't even go in fully....No matter what I do it's fucking loose, I've been at this for 2 days and it's all the same shit, I can't find any solutions anywhere, can anyone help me out???

I've lost my screws for the stand anyone know what they are or where I can buy them?

I lost my screws though 😔

Very well explained, thank you.

I need help with a hyperX quadcast

Sir, where to buy glue??

Now I feel like I don't want to buy an arm stand for the Yeti after watching this.

OMG i thought o couldent take it out

Or use a tiny piece of blutak....worked for me :-)

thx

THANK U SOOOO MUCH IT WAS SUPER HELPFUL

Thanks man

Thank You!!!!!!!

genius! many tx!

Omg THANK YOU!!!

I was watching the video and screwing with my mic at the same time and I screwed it in lol, but still good vid and still poor design flaw

Thank you this helped allot :)

i guess i lost my spacers shoot
