Intended for on-the-go musicians, the Auray Travelers Mic Stand with Tripod Base is designed for convenience, stability, durability, and portability. It sports a height range of 18 to 58" inches, but quickly collapses down to 17.5", making it easy to store in cases, carry bags, or instrument bags. Relatively lightweight at 2.6 lb, it's very easy to carry about town.

This durable stand is constructed out of steel, making it more than suitable for use on the road. It offers a tripod base whose feet are extendable, so uneven floors won't be a problem. Nonslip feet offer an added insurance against traction.

With a 5/8"-27 threaded mount, the mic stand can accommodate nearly all microphones. Use it to mic guitar cabs down-low or extend the stand to its maximum height for singers. Need to read sheet music off your tablet? Pick up a separately available tablet adapter to hold up your mobile device, and you'll be able to sight-read your music. Whether you're a singer or a traveling musician, this mic stand can provide a practical solution for your on-the-road gigs.

This mic stand has a three-section telescoping shaft with a range from 18 to 58", so you can adjust the mic's height to your own predilections. Onboard thumb locks make it easy to adjust each section and lock it in place.

Mic stands are often awkward to carry and frequently don't fit in carry bags. You can fold this stand down to 17.5" and store it in your equipment or instrument bag. The stand is relatively lightweight at 2.6 lb.

The base of the tripod offers extendable legs with nonslip feet. Extend the legs for extra stability, and use them to your advantage on uneven floors. Nonslip feet optimize traction to keep the tripod in place.

Stands can often see a lot of wear and tear. The steel construction of the Travelers Mic Stand is durable, so you can take it with you on the road without worry.

The standard 5/8"-27 mount facilitates attachment of mics or tablets. Connect your favorite microphone, or attach a tablet adapter to use the stand for reading sheet music with your mobile device.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I'm recording martial arts instruction. At times the instructor is standing and at other times laying on the floor. It is very dynamic so it can shift quite quickly. Would you suggest using this boom stand with an NTG3?My fear is that it would sound good when the instructor is standing, but when they lay down, I lose significant volume. Any suggestions?

A: You will definitely lose sound quality when the instructor gets low. First option would be a wireless mic xmitter strapped to the instructor with the mic taped securely to his clothing. Next option would be a boom operator to move with the instructor. If none of those options are available can you shoot the instructor in sequences and reposition the mic for each shot?

Q: 6. I want to use this as a boom stand for shotgunning my Rode NTG3. I already have a boom pole.

And does that mean there is no cushion for the circumference of other boom poles to fit? And how necessary is the sandbag to balance the weight?
