leroydiamond Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 As it says in the title. I need to get a compact foldable boom mic stand. Something like this would be ideal. http://www.rationalacoustics.com/store/microphones/nano-mic-stand-kit.html However it needs to be boom. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 it's not as small as the one you posted but K+m make multi-section stands that fold smaller than the average stands, this stand - https://produkte.k-m.de/en/Mic-stands/Floor-stands/199-Microphone-stand-black with this boom - https://produkte.k-m.de/en/Mic-stands/Booms/21140-Boom-arm-black would fold down pretty small. the problem is most likely to be that every joint that is added to a stand is another point that can cause wobbles.

I will put in an order and report back. Edited April 5, 2017 by leroydiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved over to K+M stands a while ago and have been very pleased. Well made, sturdy and there's even a spares backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Another vote for K&M. A little dearer at the outset, but cheaper in the long run. Spares mean they just keep going, which is a bonus. I have a much abused K&M that's around 40 years old (like the broom with 3 new heads and 2 new handles) that refuses to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
