Product Description
The Rode DS3 is a desktop studio arm with a weighted base and a dual-ball mounting system, positioning a microphone, camera, light, or smartphone up to 1.5kg on your desk without a clamp.
The weighted base stands freely on any flat surface, so there is no clamp or permanent mounting point needed. A dual-ball mounting system gives 360-degree articulation for precise positioning across different angles, and a central locking mechanism holds the chosen position once set. Two included cable clips route connected cables along the arm to reduce loose wiring, and the metal construction keeps it stable. Included 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch adapters cover different mounting threads.
A clamp-style arm needs a desk edge to attach to. The DS3 simply sits on the desk, articulates to any angle on its ball head, and locks in place.
Ideal for: desktop content creators, podcasters, and streamers positioning a mic, camera, or light on the desk.
