How tall is this mic? Is it lightweight enough to function as a desktop mic without tipping over?

It is 7 inches tall plus you need room for the mic cable to plug into the bottom. It's solidly built and mostly metal, so it's pretty heavy. You would need a very sturdy desktop mic stand for it to work. It's a great mic, but probably not the best choice if lightweight is a priority.

Hi, Gregory. I use a short Rode shotgun (not a full size shotgun like the Sennheiser 416) with a small mic tripod (they don't seem to sell it here on Amazon anymore, but kind of like the "Vktech New Desktop Table Metal Mini Tripod Microphone Stand" they do sell) with the cable run out the back through the zipper. This works great for me. Pretty sure any average sized studio mic could be fine, like a TLM-103, and obviously Hogan's own branded mic which seems to be about the size of a U85 seems to fit well in the pic. Not sure if this answers your question, but there ya go!

I use a UV-5R so you might reference it's manual and compare. My neck is was 16", not sure now since losing weight but throat mic is flexible enough to accommodate.

It is about 5-6 feet long, I feel it's only right to mention I have mothballed this mic totally and am keeping it only in the event my Headset mic breaks. If I went the way of a desktop mic, I would spend a few extra dollars and get a higher quality one.

It won't be stable enough unless you have a heavy studio boom. It would be better to mount this on its own tripod style stand and use the mic on the boom. I use this with a tripod stand and have the mic mounted with it.

Height: 2.5 inches Width: 7.6 inches Length/Depth: 8.6 inches Weighs about 4.5 pounds. And some side info: if you are planing on using it heavily, buy a different mic right away. I suggest Astatic 636L

I'm using an Audio-Technica AT2020 USB condenser microphone with shock mount and desk stand. It fits fine. I need to be creative to fit script and any prompts inside the booth. There is a script clip at the back and the light is essential and handy. I'm currently sitting to record; standing might be more comfortable and therefore produce more favorable results.

Actually it's too light and tends to fall over. It also would be a terrible way to hold a boom mic. If you need a low budget boom mic holder use a painters extension pole and rig up a shock mount from the mic from rubber bands and PVC pipe cult into rings.

Silver mic comes with a small tripod stand. This stand is not stable and will fall over if the mic or table is bumped.

I got a cheaper mic stand for about 40 bucks from guitar center. I believe it was a pro line. However, I'd recommend forking over a little more cash. While my mic stands works fine, I have to be careful about how far the mic is out, and which leg it's over because this mic is really heavy. Like Chris Mitchell said, get a nicer stand since it's a nice mic. A sturdy one should hold its weight and prevent any possibility of the stand tipping.

I would think so, although I haven't measured it. I sit slightly higher than that on a bar stool when I'm using it for chords and lyrics in my solo act. Only thing I don't like is that I think it is heavier than it needs to be. While that makes it quite sturdy, it is also a bit of a pain to carry in and out and set up. Of course I also have a mic holder and also a small extra shelf mounted on mine too which makes it weigh even more.

I feel like it's really sturdy. I have a very heavy desk mic stand on it most of the time, and it is very stable.

Yes I use it for my desktop and it works really well. The mic is crystal clear. Definitely worth the price. Has two jacks btw, 1 for headphone and 1 for mic

I have used this mic for recording interviews and it works very well. I've placed it on a desk or table several feet away and it has no problem picking up the conversation.

It's lower. It sits a couple inches lower than the stock mic on an iPhone. Hope that helps.

It will pick it up! I highly recommend this Mic, I use it to record vocals even. Surprisingly exceptional quality for the price!

You want to get a sturdy studio boom mic stand with this one, something where the tripod legs are sturdy & there's a counter-weight on the extension arm. The mic itself isn't heavy, but u want the sturdiness to avoid dropping the sucker & damaging the diaphragm. Check out an OnStage SB9600 for similar design points; otherwise, use sandbags or weights on the legs if you use a regular tripod boom stand (no weighted arm, just the little cylinder-end). Hope this helps ya!
