I was pleasantly surprised that this lighter-weight clamp is also made of metal and the black color matched the black springs of the lamp, so it looks fine. Best of all, it has a small screw on the side of where the lamp base goes in, to hold the base firmly in the clamp. The expensive clamp doesn't have this feature. I might wrap the lamp's half-inch base in paper to protect it when I turn it, so the screw doesn't scratch the lamp base.
I suggest that you glue on felt on something else relatively soft (cardboard?) to the surfaces that meet your desk so that the clamp doesn't marr the upper or lower surfaces of your desk. The top part of the clamp is pained metal, the top of the bottom clamp is bare metal.
My custom mic boom is made from an old articulating lamp that no longer had its base. My first clamping attempt lasted for a few months, but eventually gave out, sending my $400 mic crashing to the desk. After looking for a few weeks, I finally decided to try this one as the price certainly fit within the confines of reasonable expense for a DIY project. It does what it needs to but to get 5 stars it needs the following:
An insert to reduce friction
A better screw (better - a collar) to stop rotation or increase tension when you want to place the boom
Slightly wider clamping surface
Rainbow sparkles
Of course, I'm looking at these features from the standpoint of using this product slightly outside of its intended use. Still, it works very well for lightweight mic applications. My mic weighs probably 3.5 lbs, and stays acceptably solid when the two-section boom is fully extended. This clamp appears to be cast pot metal, so I don't expect it to hold much more weight.
Bottom line - probably your best bet to replace a clamp base for your DIY mic boom project.
