Is this one good? I don’t know anything about this type..

They are good as long as your mic does not weigh more than its rated weight. As the AT2005 is relatively lightweight so it is fine.

 

For heavier mics I prefer fixed locking boom arms over the generic scissor arms because I find the cheap ones to be loud when in use, and take much more desk space than either a gooseneck or fixed arm.

 

To get a scissor one that will both support a lot of weight, take a lot of space, and isn't really loud in use would mean a model with internal springs like the Rode PSA1 which is like $99.

 

The cheap $20 scissor arms, while functional, are not that nice to use. You really gotta spend really spend to get something nice with that design, while the entry level goosenecks and interlocking arms are all great out of the box, there isn't that massive gulf in quality from the cheap stuff, because everything is both cheap and quality.

I haven't personally used that but it looks like a really good Rode PSA1 clone.

 

Internal springs to reduce handling noise and rated to support the weight of heavy mics, up to 3.5lbs. Might be a good buy, I would love to read reviews of it.
