Would this be too heavy to use as a boom mic stand for a movie?

Although we are using it for a podcast, the arm swings around so that you are not moving it all the time. But it is not heavy at all either. I am a woman and I move it all the time. Great microphone with excellent clarity. Hope this helps....

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.

This boom is a BEAST! My guess is that if you are using an iPhone for an overhead video shoot, the size and weight of this boom might be a bit too much.Also, I have a difficult time keeping the rotation correct with a microphone - so you may have a challenge getting the angle you want with your iPhone - might take some engineering.

It could handle the weight easily, but needs to be firmly attached to the wall, as into studs. I have an older Onkyo NR801 on this in my garage.

It really depends what you're looking for. But I wouldn't recommend it. The neck doesn't fit in the base well, and it's barely adjustable. the base also isn't heavy enough to support a decent mic such as a Blue Yeti. The stand is all around poorly put together, and for me at least fell short by a long shot.

This stand doesn't come with any kind of microphone clip, so you would need a way to attach the Blue Snowball to the stand. It should support the weight, though.

I found it to be quite sturdy. I guess that would depend on how heavy the backdrop was. I would have to guess, "Yes.

No. It's just about OK for an AB with a lightweight shoot-through umbrella but nothing heavier. The weight distribution of a larger softbox will bend the thinnest section of the stand.

That depends on how far out you adjust the stand. It's not the best stand, to be honest. In order to really use it as an extended arm I keep having to weight the feet- the mic alone is too heavy for it if the lateral bar isn't 50/50

I think it is no problem at all. The foam can bear any kind of heavy speakers.

This screen weighs quite a lot and is heavy for a normal (round) mic stand base. I am using it on a mic stand that has the tripod legs and it pretty sturdy on that. This screen works really well. I am about to edit a video demo I just did for YouTube. Look for it in the next few days.

Honestly... I probably wouldn't want to put any Blue mic's on it. I currently have my Blue Yetti in it and it's really way to heavy for it.

It will support the weight but the stand isn't directly compatible with the mic, you have to buy an adapter unless you want to rig it to the stand.

In a word, yes. But as others have said this is intended primarily for studio work. It would be a bit of a chore to drag around. OTOH, the weight does make it stable. And, since the SM58 is so light you can probably get the boom to articulate well enough without the gooseneck.

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.

You could put this stand on something to get you to the appropriate height and as long as you have a condensing mic or standard that fits in the holder provided you're ok. It would be a fairly fixed position, which you can work with to record but overall a stand with more range, boom or flexed would give more flexibility.

A regular boom mic stand would work,. that's what I use I just take off the the attached part and I use the single straight stand hope this helps

yes it will be ok, actually I use it for a condenser microphone, it can hold it, but a little not stable, because the mic is too heavy, I have to make it most tightly to hold it almostly.
