We've reach a new low...profile! The Elgato Low Profile mic arm has been a popular choice for several years, and there's now a "pro" version that adds a pneumatic top arm, so let's see what it's all about and how it compares to the standard arm.

This video is not sponsored, but Elgato did provide the Wave Arm Pro at no cost. Read my Ethics Statement about objective reviews, sponsorships, and brand partnerships: https://himynameistom.com/ethics
