Weewooday Mic Stand Extension Review: Better Mic Placement for Cheap
Part of The Remote Work Travel Guide: Set Up an Office Anywhere
What we liked
- Four lengths to mix and match
- Standard 5/8-inch threads
- Light aluminum
What we didn't
- Adds wobble on light stands
- Threads can loosen
- Black finish scratches
Quick take
A pack of four short aluminum extension tubes with 5/8-inch threads, the standard for microphone stands and mounts. Screw one in between the stand and the mic clip to raise the mic.
Where to buy: Weewooday Mic Stand Extension Tubes (4 Pack) on Amazon (typically about $8 to $12).
My take
I use it to raise my podcast mic on its stand so I don’t have to bend over when I’m talking. I like that it breaks down into four pieces, so it doesn’t take up much space, and it’s light for how useful it is.
What it is
Each tube adds a few centimeters of height, and they stack. They’re simple, but mic placement is the cheapest audio upgrade there is: a mic close to your mouth sounds better than a pricier mic further away.
Where it fits on the road
Desk mics that come with short stands sit too low, so you lean in on calls or the mic picks up the keyboard. A tube or two brings a mic like the FIFINE AM8 up to mouth height, so you can sit naturally through a long meeting.
“Raise the mic so you don’t have to bend over it. Small fix, big comfort.”

How it compares
- Boom arm. Best placement and frees desk space, but heavier to travel with.
- Books under the stand. Free, wobbly, and limited.
- Gooseneck extension. Lets you angle the mic; less stable.
Cheap fixes for better call audio
Placement, room and light matter more than gear. Raise the mic, put the laptop camera at eye level with a laptop stand, and add a soft selfie light. On the move, a DJI Mic Mini clips to your shirt and sidesteps placement entirely.
Price and value
Expect to pay about $8 to $12, though prices on Amazon move often, so check the current listing before buying. Excellent value for what it does: a cheap, effective way to get your mic where it should be.
How I scored it
The 4.5-out-of-5 score is led by my own recorded thoughts, checked against what buyers report across retailers, weighed on value, build quality and how well it fits a travel and remote-work life. Read the full method on the editorial policy page.
3 tips to get the most out of it
- Use the shortest tube that gets the mic to chin height. Taller stacks wobble.
- Hand-tighten, then a quarter turn more. Threads loosen with vibration.
- Keep the spare tubes in your cable pouch. They double as mount adapters.
FAQ
Do they fit standard mic stands?
Yes, 5/8-inch is the standard thread.
Can I stack them?
Yes, though stability drops with height.
Do they fit camera tripods?
Not without a 5/8 to 1/4 adapter.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
Good for anyone whose desk mic sits too low. Skip it if you already use a boom arm. This is one piece of the Remote Work Travel Guide, which covers the full portable office setup.
Bottom line
A cheap, effective way to get your mic where it should be.
