The Elgato Low Profile boom arm has undergone some major improvements since its original release several years ago, so I decided to order a new one and re-review it to see how it performs.

They really did fix everything I critiqued in my original review, including the magnetic cable management covers, which are now incredibly strong and much more effective. It's a key feature of the arm, so the weak magnets in the original were always frustrating.
