Rode DS3 Professional Desktop Studio Arm

The Rode DS3 Professional Desktop Studio Arm is a compact desktop mount for microphones, cameras, smartphones, lights and other accessories up to 1.5 kg. It uses a weighted all-metal base instead of clamps, so it sits securely on flat surfaces while keeping setup simple. Universal thread compatibility and integrated cable management make it a practical fit for tidy, flexible studio and content creation workspaces.

Precise, quiet positioning

A precision ball head with 360-degree articulation gives the DS3 a wide adjustment range for accurate placement. The central locking mechanism makes it quick to reposition and secure, and the movement is designed to stay smooth and quiet, which is useful when adjusting gear during recording, streaming or podcast sessions.

Stable desktop support

The weighted baseplate is designed to keep the arm steady without needing a desk clamp or other mounting point. Combined with the heavy all-metal construction, it provides solid support for attached gear and helps the DS3 stay stable in permanent studio setups or flexible desktop work areas.

Broad mounting compatibility

The DS3 supports a wide range of equipment with 3/8, 1/4 and 5/8 thread compatibility, making it suitable for many microphones, cameras and accessories straight out of the box. This versatility makes it easier to move between different devices without needing a separate mounting solution for each one.
