RØDE Desktop Studio Arm DS2
The RØDE DS2 is a compact tabletop arm perfect for mounting a variety of accessories such as microphones, cameras, smartphones, lights, and more.
The heavy base plate allows for stable installation, making it convenient for content production, streaming, and when using a microphone or camera during desk work.
A high degree of freedom in setting is possible, and in addition to the 3/8 inch screw on the main body, the included 3/8-1/4 inch conversion screw allows users to attach various equipment such as microphones, cameras, lights, etc.
The base plate has enough weight to be stable and independent even when equipment is attached, without the need for fixing devices such as clamps or grommets. Therefore, users can place the equipment wherever desirable on the tabletop.
The arm has two movable parts, allowing useers to quickly set the attached equipment to any position, providing flexible operability.
The moving parts operate quietly, so there is less noise when operating them during recording. Additionally, by passing the connection cable through the cable management guide provided on the arm, users can keep the wiring on the desk neat and tidy.
