Good video, i got the Rode PSA1 for a few years now and it always good it never lost it strenght even after 100 of times of moving around XD but this video might convince me to get the new Rode PSA1+ since i got the first one for over 5 years now :P

[@jeffryesmeralda]

That’s awesome! I hope you like it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice review. I’ve been using mine with the SM7B for a couple months and it has been perfect and solidly holds the heavy SM7B with no drooping. My only complaint is the in-your-face RODE branding. Please make a “how to” video if you use heat transfer vinyl to cover the logo! 😎

[@jeffryesmeralda]

Thanks @TC_Conner 🙏! That’s amazing! I can’t wait to have an SM7B or the SM7dB too. How is the SM7B so far? I agree about the branding but somehow I finally got used to it. But I’ll definitely let you if I decide to cover it and will create a vid for it too.
