RODE LPA1 Low-Profile Studio Arm
RODE LPA1 Low-Profile Studio Arm — A desk-mounted studio arm built to hold a microphone in working position without crossing the camera frame. The LPA1 extends horizontally rather than arcing overhead, keeping the microphone below the camera line of sight so the shot stays clean. Horizontal reach is 650 mm (25.6 inches), measured from the clamp, and the arm rotates a full 360 degrees with a wide vertical adjustment range, accommodating end-address and side-address microphones alike. Load capacity is 2 kg (4.4 lb), which covers broadcast dynamics, large-diaphragm condensers in shock mounts, and lighter cameras or accessories.
Movement is silent, so repositioning mid-take adds no spring noise to an open microphone. Cable management runs internally through the arm body, concealing XLR and USB cable and keeping the run out of shot. Mounting is via the included desk clamp, and universal thread compatibility accepts standard mic clips, shock mounts and accessory heads. Podcasting and interview applications podcast studios get the same benefit from the low-profile where an overhead boom would intrude on frame. Content creators working a single fixed camera gain a tidy desk with no arm arcing through the top of the picture.
