ZOSTA Microphone Isolation Shield, Microphone Sound Shield with Shock Mount & Pop Filter, High Density Absorbent Foam to Filter Vocal, Foldable Mic Shield for Most Condenser Studio Recording Equipment

Wanted to try this before taking on the project of foam paneling an entire room or buying a full portable booth. For creating song demos this works great, and definitely makes a noticeable difference. Great bang for buck

The frame is made of metal and it came with all the accessories you'd want to control reflections for a condenser mic. It came assembled except for the stand and adaptors/feet. I noticed other options in this price range were not assembled or had plastic frames. Size wise, its large enough for my mic set-up but if you are rocking a really large/tall mic like a King Bee, etc. then it might be a little too small. The tripod stand it came with is too small for the task and wanted to topple over any time you bump it by accident so either get a better stand or check out how I modified it. I ended up drilling 4 holes in the back in a VESA 100 pattern to mount it to an Ergotron LX monitor arm with (4) 10-32 rack screws and square rack nuts and this turned out to be a fantastic decision! So much flexibility in adjusting the position of the microphone and isolation shield to make it do exactly what you want and it handles the weight of the isolation shield and even heavier microphones with ease. This modification may be swaying my opinion of the product to be better than if I had to just live with the undersized tripod stand. Honestly, I hope these guys see this and change the design to ship it out with VESA 100 holes already punched out in the steel.

There was a question on this product where someone asked if this can be used for the Blue Yeti Nano. Someone answered yes. Here's the thing. My mic came with 1 adapter that screws into the bottom. When I got this stand, it came with 4 adapters. I had to use all 5 adapters together to make it work, which is lucky that I had my original because nothing in this kit came with anything even the right size for my mic. In addition to the adapters, it came with 5 endcaps. I screwed 2 of them to the bottom corners and put the other 3 in a bag. The 2 that I used is where I attached the pop filter. Also, the pop filter has a triangle clamp (think of a J shape clamp), which is very strange. The foam shield itself does a decent job, however simply rubbing my fingers together behind the shield is picked up slightly by the mic, so it's not a total isolation. The shield is so heavy that the 1 flat piece of metal holding it twists a little, causing the whole shield to wobble. It does seem to have a pretty stable base. The whole setup seems to weigh somewhere close to 7-ish pounds (about as heavy as a gallon of milk). For the 3 things it is (tripod, isolation and pop screen), it is a good deal. This is good enough for my use. The only issue I had is that it took 4 of the adapters plus 1 that I already had, just to assemble this. If I had not kept my own adapter, I would have had no choice but to return this unit. Other than that, I am satisfied.

I launched a podcast a few month ago, and was using a variety of content. Some of it, I was recording sitting at my desk, and I was having trouble with noise. I also decided to do more guided meditations for Insight Timer, and the noise was an even bigger deal with that. I was having to go to my office at school to record, and even there, noise could become an issue. So my first attempt at solving the problem was to get a Blue Yeti mic and use the condenser setting. That was better, but there's still a lot of noise in my office. So I tried improvising a shield with some foam packing that came with something I ordered--maybe the Yeti. That actually helped but was a big pain in the butt to set up. So I looked at a number of these kinds of setups online, and this one looked like what I needed. And it did (mostly) solve my noise problems. It's easy to set up, is big enough but not huge, the pop screen works great, and it cuts way down on noise. Still, if a motorcycle or big truck goes by, I have to pause. But for birds outside, kids playing next door, stuff like that, it does a good job of cleaning it up.

It arrived quickly and packaged safely. It's a great little sound booth for vocals! I'll use it for vocals and for isolating my microphone when I mic my amp. If you put it on the floor around the amp and cover it with a pillow it is as good as any small booth I've ever seen in the high end studios! It's like having the ultimate dead booth just for your amp! I'm super happy with my purchase! And ignore the whiners saying the stand is cheap. It's quality and as long as you aren't hanging 50 pound weights off of the stand it'll last a long time.
