Comparing the RODE PSA1+ to the RODE PSA1 - is it worth an extra £40?

I was very excited to get the RODE PSA1+ ( Professional Studio Arm) Microphone Boom Arm for Christmas. I've used the RODE PSA1 for a few years now, but does the 'Plus' bring to the party? It's more expensive, but is it worth the money?

Thanks so much buddy!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love the video Kip! Looks like a nice piece of equipment. I think through the desk would work great. Thanks for also putting in the US link as well.

personally think I would drill 2 holes in any desk rather than just a large one, think they are thinking more on more diversity of if you got a large hole in the desk then you can just rotate it around in the hole for getting the best position. but 2 smaller holes gives the base more rigidity, and not such an eye sore as a large hole, and you can always use the desk for a kids pc or something afterwards, and got the holes drilled for cables to pass through for something like a pc. so gives the table a longer lease on life in a way. where as a large hole makes the desk less useable. personally I wouldn't drill a massive hole in any desk as reduces it's life span on what the desk can be used for as a 2nd life (if they ever last that long!!).

The first video I have seen that the host didn't gripe about the Big White Rode letters on the 1+

[@kiphakes]

Yep. I like them

[@iamajuthomas]

Hope you like it so far. How wide is the desk clamp, I wonder? I have a desk that is around 3 inches thick. I wonder if it fits.

[@kiphakes]

It opens up to just shy of 3 inches - if you can give me an exact thickness of your desk, I can double check for you!

Get new one (psa1+) for 130 or get used psa1 (old model) for 72$
Which is better way to go?

[@kiphakes]

Both are excellent, I’d say the + is more refined
