Compact foldable boom mic stand

[leroydiamond]

As it says in the title. I need to get a compact foldable boom mic stand. Something like this would be ideal.

However it needs to be boom. Thanks in advance

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.

Many thanks Matt. That stand might just do the trick. I have sent them an email for information about where to purchase

a quick google and found them on Thomann (where else). I will put in an order and report back.

Happy to help, i've used K+M stands before and always thought they were decent quality (not the cheapest but i'd rather buy once and not have to worry about stands failing at a gig)

+1 to all of that. 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.

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.

Don't know about music applications but Manfrotto make wonderful camera tripods.

Daughter just bought a manfrotto tripod made specifically for video work. Seemed well enough made, but EXPENSIVE!!!
