I don't know why anyone would tell you that since a boom is no differnt than any other mic stand. They both do the exact same thing: support the mic.

So why would you need a specific one to do a job that all of them do? Who ever told you you need this, especially because you have a condenser (like it matters) is misleading you.

Like I said man, get the first mic stand that will have you not recording while sitting and will support th weight of the mic. As long as you can speak into the mic, it won't matter at all what type you get.
