The RODE DS3 is a compact and sturdy desktop studio arm for content creators, podcasters, streamers, gamers and modern studio set-ups. It has been designed to precisely position microphones, cameras, smartphones, lights and other accessories on a desk.
Thanks to its weighted base plate, the DS3 requires no clamp and no fixed mounting point. It stands securely on any flat surface and is ideal for flexible workspaces, streaming set-ups, podcast studios and creative production environments.
The precision-machined ball head allows for flexible and controlled alignment of the mounted equipment. This means a microphone or accessory can be placed exactly where it is needed.
Movement is smooth and quiet, so adjustments can be made even during streams, calls or recordings without causing any distracting noise.
The robust metal construction and heavy-duty base ensure high stability. The DS3 supports equipment weighing up to 1.5 kg, making it suitable for many XLR microphones, USB microphones, cameras, small lights and accessory holders.
As it stands freely, the desk remains flexible to use. This is particularly handy when there is no desk edge available or permanent mounting is not required.
The integrated cable management keeps XLR and USB cables neatly organised and reduces visible clutter on the workstation. This makes the setup look tidier whilst remaining flexible.
The DS3 ensures a professional look and better organisation in the studio, particularly for video content, streaming and podcasting.
The RODE DS3 is highly versatile and supports standard thread sizes. The included adaptors allow accessories with 3/8-inch, 1/4-inch and 5/8-inch threads to be attached.
This means the DS3 is compatible with many microphones, cameras, smartphone mounts, lights and other studio accessories.
