Hey everyone,
I’d like some advice from people with more experience than me.
I recently bought the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro for my setup (I use a Shure MV7 + webcam for YouTube videos, reactions, gameplay, etc.).
From a quality standpoint, I already know it’s a big upgrade compared to my current arm (~30€), which:
drifts over time
squeaks
loses position
is generally annoying to adjust
So quality isn’t my concern.
👉 My real question is about space and practicality.
My setup is:
relatively small desk
monitor in front of me (I need a clear view while gaming/editing)
fully home setup (not a dedicated studio)
What I need:
mic around 10–15 cm from my mouth
stable position (no constant readjusting)
mic slightly visible on camera (for a more “professional” look)
but without blocking my screen or getting in the way
👉 So my question is:
Was this a good choice for a small/limited space setup?
Or is it “overkill” and I should have gone with something like a low-profile arm instead?
If anyone is using this arm in a similar setup, I’d really appreciate your feedback 🙏
Thanks!
