Hey guys! So I've been looking around for some boom arms for my blue yeti microphone because my current stand keeps falling over easily with it on it. I want a decent sized arm that can handle the blue yeti's weight. My budget is $30 (CAD) I've seen good and bad reviews on some products and I really don't know which one to buy. Thanks for your time :)

hard to recommend much for that money, the yeti is an extraordinary heavy mic and you need a good stand to use it properly, like the rode psa1

$150 for a stand is just....ouch.

the arm, pop filter, suspension mount and accessories are arguably just as important or more important thatn the mic itself

like buying an expensive lens and flashgun for a DSLR
 

Also WOW $150 CAD? its like $100 US and £65 ($100 CAD) in the UK, how is the UK cheaper than canada? haha

There are cheaper ones, but they might not be very stable

I got a mice arm for £15. As long as you look after it, it'll last a while. 

Let me find a link. 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acelectronic-Desktop-Microphone-Suspension-Adjustable/dp/B00VURD8JW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467645277&sr=8-2&keywords=mic+arm

What do they know of England, who only England know?

See, the thing is, people hate maple syrup land lol. Here, I found this: https://www.amazon.ca/Outop-Broadcast-Microphone-Suspension-Scissor/dp/B00RGKUMJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467666478&sr=8-1&keywords=outop+boom+arm

From the reviews I think it should be okay.
