I've used many types of mic arms for podcasts, filming and recording. The separate control for the 'on air' light is a good solution to the complexity of the 5 pin / 3 pin dilemma of XLR options, you can swap out the XLR lead and embed it in the gutter that's nicely designed. Nice tight clamp and good strong tightening. See how it stands up over time but for now... I recommend.
