There is now a Blue Yeti Pro! Click here to see it introduced at CES 2011. They say it will be released in February 2011.
One of the most FAQ is about getting a mike stand for the Yeti or the Yeti Pro.
Answer:
Any mike stand. It has a standard microphone stand mount right on the bottom of the unit. What's heavy is the microphone base, most microphone stands you can find for abour $30 will do a good job.
What about shock mounting?

Why are new Yetis sold without THX certification?
The THX microphone certification program helped establish the audio input performance standard for which the best-selling Yeti microphone family is known. However, the microphone certification program will be discontinued over the coming months as THX will be focusing on its core home theater program (TVs, speakers, etc). Regardless of the discontinuation of this category, Yeti and Yeti Pro will continue to be manufactured to the same specification and standards.
People have been asking about noises coming from windows and from the back of the microphone even in cardioid pattern setting. It's true, if you can hear the sounds from say your window, chances are some of it will show up in your recording.
This is where such a product shown here would help.
A microphone stand could prove useful.
