TB and Jessie normally recommend the Samson C01U.

Here it is on its own: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXE4BYW

  He may have meant this kit, which I'm not able to find on Amazon:

  It's been discontinued because it included the C01U, which has been replaced by the C01U Pro.

  You can get the accessories individually if you want to mix-and-match your own kit:

Rode PSA1. You already have a Rode mic, why not get their arm? I have both and can recommend them.

I use Samson shock mount that required a bit of modification to get the Podcaster to fit. Namely, you need to pull the inner ring out of the shock mount connector to get the Podcaster to fit. At that point, everything is fine.

I'm using the exact mic since mid 2016 till now.

I started off with the default mic-stand it came with, it was hard to position to get 'enough sound' to reach it. It felt that I needed to speak louder than usual.



So i decided to buy another desktop stand and along with it i bought a shock mount I would buy a desktop mount if i didnt have space issues The shock mount would ALMOST elimilate out any sound you make through the table.

You know how when you tap on the table, and hear it through the mic due to vibrations? this would help eliminate it of course if the tapping is so loud the sound travels to the mic thats a different thing.

Continue playing around with the noise gate with this mic, it helps heaps when i found out about it.

What ever /u/Man_of_the_Rain suggested here is really helpful, i would consider getting a wind screen as I sometimes have the ceiling fan switched on.

I too have that horrible horrible shock mount and fixed it up using hair ties... I recently ordered this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000LQLDM2/ref=redir_mdp_mobile as a replacement

I have the C01U Pro and it does the same. Here's my setup:

Spider Mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LQLDM2

Pop filter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AOH1O6

Arm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DY1F2CS

Keeping the mic away from the keyboard helped a little bit. The other thing that helps is noise gating on OBS and Discord. However, the mic stand is really cheap. It works, but it isn't great. I plan to upgrade to this eventually.

Hope this helped.

Microphone - Samson C01U

Stand - Scissor Boom Stand

Pop Filter - Samson SAPS01

Shock Mount - Samson SP01

I did the same research just yesterday. Based on the Amazon reviews, this is what I came up with:

1. Samson SP01: Although it is out of stock at the moment, this shock mount will work perfectly for the AT2020, as mentionned in the reviews on Amazon.com.
   
   
2. niceEshop(TM) Studio Microphone Mic Wind Screen Pop Filter: A cheap, but apparently very able pop filter. Again, this is according to the reviews.
   
   3-a. RODE PSA 1 Swivel Mount Studio Microphone Boom Arm: This is a more expensive, but probably better built, and reliable option.
   
   3-b. Neewer® White Broadcasting Studio Microphone Suspension Boom Scissor Arm stand: A cheaper, probably less reliable (at least according to the reviews) bet for a microphone arm. With a name containing so many adjectives, surely it's not that bad, right? Kappa
   
   Good luck with your endeavour, I know I'll need it. XD
   
   Edit: All the reviews come from Amazon.com as opposed to Amazon.ca for a larger pool of data.

The shockmount is a Samson SP01, mounted on a Rode PSA1 boom arm. Pop filters don't matter too much in terms of which one. I just bought one off of Amazon for $20.

Ive read somewhere on a forum that the Samson SP01 Shockmount should fit the G track pro tho it doesnt list it. Im in the same boat as you where my mic for some reason didnt come with the piece to click onto my current boom arm and it doesnt look like any shockmounts quite fit this thing. Heres the link to the arm on amazon im not sure if it would work : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000LQLDM2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

but I may be willing to give it a try

for a compressor depends on what software you are using, if you have OBS (google it if you don't know what it is) then there is plenty of youtube tutorials. i personally haven't yet ventured into streaming myself and can't help much more than googling the correct terms for you. "OBS compressor tutorial" it's easier to see an example through the tutorial then for me to explain in words what they do.

as for the other question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don't personally use a mic stand for gaming i'm using a lav mic. i'm guessing it depends on your setup whether you'd want a on desk mic stand or a free sitting one. there is a youtube video for that.

my personal quess would be : gator short mic stand with sp1 shock mount and generic pop filter

You'll need a spider shock mount and then you can mount it on on something like this boom arm.

let me put this as sarcastically as possible...apparently, this is a video of you just talking in front of a camera for 7+ minutes and you don't understand what can be better about your videos?

EDIT: ok, checked out some others. your ability to compose a scene sucks bad. your videos lack originality, humor, humanity, or anything that would catch my eye or want me to watch any further. It's just video after video of you talking with a couple of medium and wide shots mixed in. If you want to know how to make videos that people will watch, you need to watch other good videos.

Practical advice: re-edit all of your videos. I know for sure you can cut them in length by at least half. Get a damn mic already, either for your camera, or preferably for voice over so we don't have to look at your giraffe looking self for 7 minutes.

Rode VideoMic

Or
this something like this combination:
Behringer C-1U Condenser Microphone with USB Output


On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Black

Samson SP01 Shockmount Spider Mount for Condenser Mics

Nady MPF-6 6-Inch Clamp On Microphone Pop Filter

And buy a good set of headphones so you can hear yourself. It will make a world of difference to hear your own goofy voice. Download Audacity if you don't have Adobe Audition, but kick yourself for not having Audition, because then you can add some bass and overall makeyourself sound awesome. Audacity, not so much.

Search for Kinetic Typography on Vimeo and watch some cool videos - note the timing of the edits. There was one on here that was called the squatty potty. Seriously, check it out. If they can make a video about pooping gettin thousands of views and you just talking in front of the camera talking with no views, what's that say about you.

Fuck it: Squatty Potty video



Here's a 7 minute video that doesn't suck:
Momentos


Learn about why things suck. Watch all of this. Again, if you've already seen it.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review (Part 1 of 7)

Even if you don't have photoshop, just watch this damn 3 minute how to video so you know how to incorporate some humor, damn it.

You Suck At Photoshop #1


All good videos are pretty much formulaic. Find one that works for you and stick to it. Right now, all your vids are too long, audio sucks, camera angles suck, content not funny - sucks.

Good Luck.
EDIT AGAIN for attempt at better written english.

You could also go with a AT2020 USB, the same stand and pop filter, but go with a Samson SP01 and save yourself a few bucks.

How about a shockmount? A quick search shows the Samson SP01 fits the AT2020.

Image of an AT2020 in the SP01.

The threaded part of the clip looks a bit small... There are 2 sizes, and the one used on most mic stands is larger. The clip you have might work, but if it doesn't you can get a universal shockmount that will work. http://www.amazon.com/Samson-SP01-Shockmount-Spider-Condenser/dp/B000LQLDM2

This Samson shock mount ($23.18 & Prime) has worked great with the AT2020 I picked up a while back:

http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Technologies-SP01-Spider-Shockmount/dp/B000LQLDM2

https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Technologies-SP01-Spider-Shockmount/dp/B000LQLDM2/ and https://www.amazon.com/Sywon-Handheld-Microphone-Filter-Windscreen/dp/B01F6WIX5K/ works great.

I have this exact mic, they make an arm and shock mount for it also. Don’t get the cheap ones, the mic is too heavy and will wear them or quick.

Do you have the xlr or usb version? if its xlr any old xlr cable should work, but the usb uses this cable . Personally I use this shockmount and this desk mount which isn't very bad for the price but you can definitely tell its a cheap mount. Most of the accessories are garbage and I ended up cutting out the XLR cable and wiring my usb cable through it, but if you have the xlr version I guess it'll work fine for you. I know for a fact that shock mount you just linked doesn't work, but it does come with the desk mount I linked (for $20 more) so you may as well try it for yourself, the best option would be the Audio Technica shock mount but its pretty pricey. I should also mention the better option for the desk mount would be the Rode desk mount and that the AT2020 on its own is comparable with either desk mount as long as you use the mount that comes with it for the desk stand, just remove the mount itself and screw it to the desk mount. hope my experience could help you out :)
