Hey guys, I've just been given an Audio Technica AT8033 Condenser mic and i don't have a mounting arm yet. I need a temporary one for now just to stand it up on my desk. Any suggestions?

It really depends on what you've got around your house, I could give a thousand suggestions but if you don't have the junk then it doesn't really matter.
I used an old ikea lamp that was stiffened up with a steel ruler and then g clamped to my desk before I bought a cheap desk boom stand for my AT2020. If you've got any scrap wood around you could easily nigger rig something up with that, anything that's stiff enough to hold it up really, could just duck/duct tape it to the top of a 2 litre drink bottle if you wanted.

Strangely enough, I just tried the bottle rig and it's working quite well. Who needs a real boom stand??

Yeah I used my lamp stand for a good few months, but the proper stand I'm using now is definitely making life easier, just to get it out of the way when not using it or slight adjustments to the height if I change my sitting position. Still using my nigger rigged pop filter though, metal coat hanger bent into a circle with a couple of those stocking socks wrapped over it.
