The base is made of metal and it has a plastic cap on it. The C part of the clamp is just powder coated metal, the top is metal inside (it's all one piece), with a plastic cap that covers the entire base. I think they wanted to make it look more substantial and hide the rough casting. You can actually see this in your video, but I also own one.
Hi Ria, you can't go wrong with the Thronmax S2 or the Rode PSA1. Just take into consideration the weight of the mic that you'll use with the Thronmax S2 though, if it's a lighter mic, you're good to go then, but if it's heavy like the Electro-voice RE27n/d that I have, You might want to check out the Rode PSA1 which is great for heavier microphones.
its sad because there's a better copy for the mika (for what i think) but its not available anywhere i tried contacting anyone that might have and even the manufacturer said they're out of stock even on their factories, its the Alctron MA614 successor, the MA616 :) i has the on air light like the mika has :)
Hi Kim, yes I checked it out online and it looks good. The dealer in Canada that was listed on their website doesn't have much info about it though. It would be cool if I'll be able to get one so I can compare it to the Thronmax S2 or even the Rode PSA-1. :)
@@BernieandIvey i had the the psa-1 before use it on my procaster i was only 3 months when it cant handle the weight or the procaster anymore . now back with the trusty neewer. wanted to try the blue compass but i saw the new alctron ma616 but cant get it anywhere now i even contacted alctron themselves but even on the factory no stocks . could be due to covid
@@kimkelvin Yes, you can’t go wrong with the Neewer brand. I have some of their products and they’re pretty good. It’s too bad that the Alctron MA616 isn’t available. I really hope that you’ll be able to get one soon!
@Golden Experience Requiem, thank you for your comment! Yes, will definitely do a comparison video of this Thronmax and the Rode PSA1 as well as their pros and cons. If you have the time, please head over to my main channel @bernie hipos and I have all of the gear reviews there. Again, thank you so much for your support and for subscribing! Really appreciate it!
@pawarit555, no problems for me since I'm used to it. It's not for everyone for sure and it'll be in the way for talking head videos. This is nice for podcasting or some type of a radio station setup, but for other videos like for example unboxing, consider getting a lavalier/lapel mic for those types of videos. Thanks for watching the video! 🙏🏽
@@BernieandIvey Appreciate your honest answer. Yeah for me my I will use with video conference and casual talk. Been thinking it that I should get it or not. For me main reason will be how beautiful of it after set up haha. Thanks anyways dude
@@heybreath, yes same with me! Haha... I really like the look of it too it's just that the problem with this Thronmax is that it can't handle heavy mics and I did a comparison video about it with the Rode PSA1. You can check it out here if you want: ruclips.net/video/Xz_iPo54axs/видео.html For conference and casual talk, this is a great choice if you have a lighter microphone but if you do have a heavy one, you may want to look for a different boom arm then, like the Rode PSA1 or other scissor type boom arm in the market. The only thing is that, it's not as good looking as this Thronmax.
For sure man! I'm in the process of making a comparison video of this Thronmax S2 vs the Rode PSA1 boom arm on my main channel. Thanks for watching and commenting man! Cheers! 🙏🏽
Thank you so much @Enveng! We appreciate it! 🙏🏽You can only change the last part, the one with the 3 pins if you know how to solder. Also, you can't change the cable since it's built-in to the frame tubing. That's the only thing with this boom arm and if the wiring goes wrong, it won't be easy to replace it. Hope this helps. Happy New Year! Cheers!
@@ravencalimbas7455 It comes with adapters to connect different microphones but it doesn't come with any USB cable since this boom arm has dedicated XLR cable. The Thronmax S1 is the one you're looking for if you need a USB cable that is built-in to the frame tubing as well. They're both identical just with different cables.

Do you have the Thronmax S2 mic boom arm? What do you like and don't like about it?
The base is made of metal and it has a plastic cap on it.

Good to know @GearCheck 101! Thanks for the info as well as for watching the video!
luckily i saw this review i was just looking for a boom arm and thought of getting one of this brand

You are really underated
@Golden Experience Requiem, thank you so much! Really appreciate it! Thank you for watching as well! 🙏🏽
i cant find the clamp
@Kolex, it should be in the box. If not, you might want to contact their customer service. Hope that you’ll get a replacement. Good luck!

Tip as someone who wants a more in-depth analysis please add more pros and cons

Looks a nice mic arm but I went for Yellowtec Mika , pricey but beautiful to look at and use.
Thank you Mark! Yes, totally agree!
Bro, any problem when filming and mic is on your face ?

TÔI cũng đang dùng nó !
It's great to know that you have this too! Enjoy it!
Would have been great to see a wide shot so we can see the flexibility of it better

Great review! A sub from me! Btw can I use another cable if I want to? Or change the cable that comes with it? Thanks!

@@BernieandIvey ohh I see. But it comes with some adapters right? Mini usb and micro I believe?
