This does exactly what I expected. Th heavy mic is supported by the mount and the boom perfectly.

The Yeticaster is a great bundle for those interested in starting their own podcast or stream but also don't want to deal with too many cables and boxes. It's a simple, plug and play microphone that sounds great for being a USB mic and comes with a heavy duty boom arm and shock mount. MSRP of the Blue Yeti is $130, the Compass is arm $100 and the Radius III Shock Mount is $50 so you're saving a bit of cash by getting this. Just know that the bundle does NOT come with the Blue Yeti's desktop stand but with the included boom arm, there's no need for it in my opinion. I recommend watching a youtube video on how it's assembled to get the tension on the arm just right. The only thing that you'd need to buy separately is a pop filter.

The Yeticaster combines Blue’s acclaimed USB microphone with a Radius III shock mount and Compass boom. Setup is a snap. Fifteen minutes after arriving home, the entire unit was installed and functioning. The audio quality is superb. (I’m a former broadcaster, so this is not an uninformed assessment.) The four configurations make it simple to set up the mike for group recordings, one-on-one interviews, or one-person narration, which is how I use it to record the audio for my novel. The BestBuy staff was, as usual, knowledgeable and helpful. A great product at an excellent price.

I really love this microphone. I dont feel I need to say much about the quality of the audio for the price point. Everyone knows these seemed to be in every budding streamers setups and still are in a lot of cases. The boom arm... its great but be warned, it will be a source of frustration when you first get it. It is very stiff and kind of just does whatever it wants. After a few weeks of use though it becomes a lot more manageable and easier to adjust and get to stay put. I would definitely recommend both regardless.

The price and features sold me on this item but even better is the quality of sound. My son is a professional sound engineer who recommend this to me because I wanted something for podcasting and voice overs and when I got it he came over and worked with it. We were both surprised by the internal processing with in the device. The stand is very solid and would last a long time. . It will pickup every single sound so adding non-reflective surfaces to the area is helpful in avoiding echo back. Switching from one mode to another is very simple and the switch is solid. IT preforms very well and to me compares to other microphones costing much more. I really like that you can switch the microphone to interview mode. Even my son was surprised how well this worked. You set the microphone between you and the person you want to record and the mic does the rest. It is really amazing. I have not tried setting it in the middle of a group of musicians or singers but I think it will be really great. Overall, a microphone that can be cardioid, bidirectional, omni directional and stereo all in one is no gimmick, it is a real performer....can't wait to see what all it can do.

So far so good. The box is HUGE but set up was a breeze. I’m very happy with the quality. I was skeptical at first then spent time with it and now there is no going back to any otger brand.

The microphone is awesome! It sounds really, really good on a call or on a recording, and is sturdy. My only complaint with the overall product is the boom arm. The attachment between the shock mount and the arm doesn't have a sturdy lock to keep the microphone positioned in one place; it's just a ring that you have to tighten... and then not bump the microphone. It works, but not as well as it should. Overall, the product is awesome, and I don't regret buying it. But anyone else that does so should just be aware that you may need to mess with the attachment from the shock mount to the arm a bit to get it just right.

Much improves the sound of recording and broadcasting. Used for recording singing and musical instruments for recordings to be played back in Google Classroom and YouTube, Zoom broadcasts, and other recordings. Guitar, Recorder, vocals are all enhanced and have a much enhanced sound than before. The setup is easy, portable, and is flexible enough to be done to be done wherever it seems fit to record. In this time of Covid when several laptops are in use at once, it is nice to be able to be flexible and not require dedicated space.

I am not a recording professional. This is definitely the best mic I have personally used. But, it's not perfect, so let's start with what I do not like: (1) The base of the stand and has to be upright and level. It cannot be mounted sideways or upside down. If the base is upright but not level, even off by just 15 degrees or so, the arm always rotates down hill. This makes it difficult to use on slightly slanted surface without having to shim it with something. (2) I really wish the mic has a power switch, but at least it has a mute switch with a blinking LED when muted. (3) Do not adjust the stand's tension knobs unless absolutely necessary. Do not adjust them until after the stand is firmly mounted, and the shock ring and mic are attached. Once you start turning them, it becomes difficult to adjust them so that the mic stays where you put it. In reality, you do not need to adjust them unless you use a mic other than the one that came in the kit. Now, moving to what do I like: (1) The sounds quality is excellent. (2) It has on-mic controls for muting, and for adjusting mic gain, headphone volume, and spatial pattern. (3) It is truly plug and play on Windows 10. (But, it does not come with recording software). (4) It is setup to plug headphones (3.5mm) into the mic itself. When setup as your System Audio Output device, your system audio is routed to the mic, which mixes system audio with mic pickup, allows you to adjust mic gain and head phone volume, and then sends the mixed signal to the headphones. In short, you both hear the music and monitor your mic level via the headphones. When you use the mic as a recording device, even though you hear mixed audio in the headphones, the recording software only records mic, which allows you to keep the mic audio track isolated from the music track.

Great price for the product combo. Boom arm has some very weak points though. Broke the screw that tightens the middle portion of the boom arm. Definitely didn’t feel like it was over tightened. The plastic knob just broke right off the screw while turning it. Price of the arm alone is about $100 and there are no replacement parts out there. As nice as the boom arm is I probably won’t be looking to get another. I would suggest buying the warranty to cover the boom arm itself. The mic works great.

It was easy to set up and easy to use. The quality of my input audio is way better that it was with a traditional headset. 10/10 recommend

Bought the Yeticaster mic and boom arm package. Got it for some livestreaming and master classes that I plan on running for my business. The sound quality that the mic generates is superb. I tested this in parallel vs. the built-in mic in my HP All-in-One and my Logitech webcam, and the improvement and overall resonance of the sound is far superior. Definitely happy with that. I have to ding the boom arm a bit. Yes, it's sturdy. Yes, it's aesthetically pleasing. It was pretty easy to assemble as well. I wanted to set this up so that the mic would be below me (out of camera shot), but the tension in the boom arm is not adjustable enough to keep it from springing up or creeping back into the shot. I see that a lot of reviewers in different forums had this experience as well. I tweaked the external tension adjusters and the "hidden" screw that's located in the base of the arm. Couldn't get the right balance. I did consider returning this and just getting the mic on fixed base. After a lot of adjustments and experimentation with placement, I took advantage of a grommet that's drilled in my desk, placed the clamp in it, and have the mic in an "inverted" position (pointing down) and positioned about 12" from my mouth and off to my side. It's out of camera shot (a plus), and the mic is sensitive enough to capture my voice well. With this placement, I simply swing the boom arm into position, pull the mic toward me a bit, and I'm good to go. Overall happy with this, but would have liked a little more versatility in the ability to position the boom arm.

I, like many teachers, are stuck behind desks right now streaming our lessons over Zoom. I added this mic and boom to my school setup and it drew immediate attention and possibly some respect from my middle school students. They spend more time watching Twitch streamers than they do their online lessons. Great sound quality. You can really hear the difference in my recorded lessons with this mic over the school provided laptop or personal headphones.

For $200, you get the yeti mic, shock mount and the boom arm! Saves you at least $50 if you buy them separately or even more! Remember to get a pop filter, you can get a good one well under $20. Now, if you want the best quality mic setup, this is definitely not the way to go. Yeti mic is known for picking up noise and other background sounds, you need to spend like more than double of this bundle price to get that result. But for the majority of us, this is the best value for what we need. Make sure to look up tutorials on the best position to set up this mic if you’re having some issues, and you should be good to go.

This microphone is excellent, great sound quality and adjustable so it’s not in the way while gaming.

This is a great quality microphone the one thing I would say. Is you probably wanna upgrade to the elgado Mike arm if you don't have room. If you have enough space then this is a great product in the arm is amazing.

This is an outstanding bundle for the price, this has taken my streaming to a whole new level and look for my setup. If you are looking for one of the top usb mics, look no where it's here. The Blue Yeti is one of the top mics in the market specially for podcast use. The boom arm is very well built compare to others, I would say second to the Rode. The shock mount is definitely premium built, and I love the fact that boom arm has wire management to hide most of the cable.

The perfect mic for my daughter's venture into streaming. Easy to use and really good sound for the USB mic category. Sure, you can find better mics if you want to invest in audio interfaces, but fo a single component solution that works perfectly right out of the box with no additional investment, this is a great mic.

Sound is really good. No echo. Easy to install and use with our current software.

This Yeti microphone set really helps to get it where it’s needed instead of on the desk. The setup was straight forward. It takes a few minutes to find sted, but it’s worth the effort to get it just right. The Yeti mike itself is the best i’ve use. Also, the shock mount isolated they mike from stray desktop noir. The only extra I recommend is a nice pop filter. Overall, this was a worthwhile purchase!
