Check out our easy-to-follow review of the Rode DS2 Studio Arm. We'll cover what's great about it and what's not, helping you decide if it's right for your podcast or home studio.
Great video! I was about to buy this here in India where its overpriced, Rode really is doing a lot of false marketing nowadays, Thanks I saved my money
Not good for XLR Mics due to cable threading holes being suitable for USB mics only. Tipping is a MAJOR flaw! Misleading campaign on RODEs part and I wouldn’t recommend for professional use. Thank you for your honest and punctual review. Other reviews totally miss the mark in truthful specs. You have gained credibility and I will subscribe. .
Thank you! I hadn't thought about XLR cables when I did the review, great point. I was really disappointed with the tipping. Your support is very much appreciated!
@@QuantumMango - Hello again, a retraction on my part is in order. I went ahead and bought the DS2 and found it to be suitable with my home studio set up and my Shure sm7b. Yes it's a bit uneasy but in fairness it does suit me well. Im writing this because I believe that honesty is the best policy. I am not endorsing it for everyone because people will have different needs but to contradict my original post I believe that this new assessment is in good order. Thanks again for your reviews. Best!
It is a beautiful stand with the flaws I mentioned. I haven't tested any other mic stands. If you can be careful and not make noises on your desk that will reverberate into the recording or extend the arm too far so the stand tips it will work. I am still using mine because I didn't want to waste the investment. That said, a stand that is marketed as an "arm" that cannot be used as an arm is flawed in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
It's not something I'd plan to travel with because it weighs over 3 lbs. I'd probably wrap it up in a small towel and put it in a shopping bag or something similar.
