Description
This foldable microphone stand adjusts from 86.5cm to 132cm, carries an 80cm boom arm, and ships with two microphone clamps and a 3/8 inch screw interface, priced at $49.99 with fast Australian shipping. The tripod base has non-slip rubber feet, the head rotates through 360 degrees, and the legs fold in for transport.
The boom is what makes this a working stand rather than a straight pole. A straight stand puts the microphone directly above the base, which means the base is directly under your feet, your guitar, or the front of your desk. A boom arm moves the microphone out and over - so the stand can sit beside you while the mic sits in front of you. That is the difference between a stand you can actually use seated at a desk with a keyboard in front of you, and one you keep kicking.

Why Choose This Microphone Stand
-
Boom, not a straight pole - the 80cm arm puts the mic where you need it and the base where you do not
-
Two clamps included - a spare, or a second mic, without buying anything extra
-
Folds for transport - the tripod legs collapse in, so it goes in a car or a gig bag
-
360 degree rotation - reposition the boom without moving the base
-
Non-slip rubber feet - it holds on a stage, a floorboard or a hard studio floor
What Thread Size Do Microphone Clips Use?
This is the detail worth reading before you order. Microphone stands use one of two thread sizes: 3/8 inch, which is the European standard, and 5/8 inch, which is the standard used across most gear sold in Australia and the United States. This stand has a 3/8 inch screw interface and comes with two matching clamps, so it works out of the box. If you want to fit a clip, shockmount or accessory you already own and that item is 5/8 inch, you need a cheap brass thread adapter - they cost a few dollars and every music shop has them. Nothing is wrong with either standard; you just need to know which you have.
How High Should a Microphone Stand Go?
It depends entirely on whether the person is standing or seated. A standing vocalist typically wants the microphone at 140cm to 165cm, which is above this stand's 132cm maximum on the column alone - though angling the boom upward adds useful height. Where this stand is genuinely well matched is seated and desk work: podcasting, streaming, voiceover, seated instrument recording and amp micing all sit comfortably in the 86.5cm to 132cm range with the boom doing the reaching. If you specifically need a tall standing vocal stand for a performer, check the height you need against the 132cm figure first.
Is a Tripod Base Better Than a Round Base?
For a boom stand, usually yes. A boom arm puts weight out to one side, and three legs spread wide give you a much larger footprint to counterbalance that than a round weighted base of the same mass. Tripods also fold flat for transport, which round bases cannot. The trade-off is floor space: three legs sprawl, and on a crowded stage or under a desk they are something to step around. Round bases win where floor space is tight and the mic sits directly overhead - which is exactly the situation a boom is designed to avoid.
Buyers are typically podcasters and streamers, home recordists, singers and guitarists practising, schools and community halls, and people who bought a decent USB microphone and discovered the little desk tripod it came with picks up every keyboard tap through the desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my microphone fit the clamps?
The two included clamps are sized for standard handheld microphones. Large-diaphragm condensers usually need their own shockmount, which screws onto the thread.
What weight can the boom hold?
Our supplier does not publish a load rating, so we do not quote one. It is a general-purpose stand - a heavy studio condenser and shockmount at full boom extension is asking a lot of any stand in this class.
Is a counterweight included?
No. Retract the boom rather than running it fully extended with a heavy mic, and spread the tripod legs wide.
Can I use it for a phone or a light?
Yes, with the right adapter or clamp for the thread. Phone holders and small lights are commonly fitted this way.
Does it come with a cable clip?
No cable management is included. A couple of velcro ties along the boom does the job.
How do I stop it creeping down?
Tighten each collar firmly by hand. If a joint still slips under load, it is carrying more weight than it should be.
Is it heavy enough for a stage?
It is a folding tripod rather than a weighted stage stand. For live use with an energetic performer, a heavier base is the safer choice.
Fast Australian Shipping
We ship from within Australia to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses nationwide, with tracking on every order.
Always spread the tripod legs fully and tighten all collars before mounting a microphone. Do not exceed a reasonable load for a stand of this class; the supplier does not publish a weight rating and none is claimed here. Retract the boom when using heavier microphones and keep cables clear of walkways. Thread interface is 3/8 inch - a 5/8 inch adapter may be required for some accessories. Dimensions are supplier-stated and may vary slightly.
