The Short Tripod Microphone Stand from Gravity Stands is a short mic stand with a folding tripod base, a two-point adjustable boom, and a smart feature set that makes it a dependable and easy to use choice for instrument miking.

The stand is constructed from steel tubes, polished inside, offering smooth adjustments without scratching. The height is adjustable from 20 to 29.1" using a twist-grip with nonslip soft-touch material that allows you to secure a tight adjustment without hurting your hands.

The boom extends up to 19.7" and features a sturdy aluminum adjustment joint with two-point tilt. Double-injected knobs coat the hard ABS and nylon components with a rubber-like plastic coating that makes them easy to grip and comfortable to use. An oversized grip on the locking nut at the end of the boom gives you more leverage for an easier locking and unlocking experience.

The use of a heavy zinc die-cast base with very specific manufacturing tolerances means the components fit together perfectly for a solid stand without gaps that can create wiggling and wobbling. Included is a set of 7 black coding rings in various sizes to help you easily identify your mics onstage. Additional sets of rings in various colors are available separately.

Q: 9. Would this work well to hold a cardioid mic above seated interviewees?

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom will work for mounting a microphone above a seated interview subject, but the camera shot would be affected by the close proximity of the stand to the subject, due to the lack of length in the stand's boom arm. A more preferable method would be to mount a boom pole onto a C-stand/light stand with a "boom mate" style adapter such as the BoomMate BPH Boompole Holder and Grip Head Kit (BH #BOBPHV2K). This method will allow the stand to be placed much further from the subject (the length of the boom pole) and not have such an influence over the camera shot, so that a wider angle can be used if desired.

Q: 10. What is the height range?

A: The stand is adjustable from a minimum height of 3.5' (1m) to a maximum height of 6.4' (1.9m).
