The Nano Stand – Ultra-Compact Full Size Mic Stand
$ 69.95
The Nano Stand may be our most versatile ultra-compact mic stand. It can extend up to a tad over 7' feet high (2.16 m) but thanks to an ingenious reverse folding leg design, it collapses down to a mere 18.9 inches (48 cm) – compact enough to fit in a lot of carry-on bags – and weighs just 2.1 lbs (0.95 kg). The versatile leg design also allows adjusting its footprint size from relatively small to quite large. In tight spaces, such as between seating rows, it can stand in as little as 12-14 inches (~30 - 35 cm) of floor space but expands to a whopping 39.4 inch (100 cm) circular footprint for greater stability in more open spaces.

With legs fully extended it has a rated load capacity of 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg).* For lighter loads such as a microphone and wireless pack, the legs can safely be positioned at any extension that makes sense for your application. Rational supplies a thread adapter to accommodate the larger 5/8-27 USA standard mic clips with every stand we ship. European style 3/8-16 microphone clips fit directly to this stand with no adapter required.

4' Mini Tripod Mic Stand
$ 59.00
One of our most asked-about items, this high quality mini telescoping tripod stand from Manfrotto is made to order for the true backpack measurement ninja. It features the most compact folded size (15.75", 39.9 cm) of any usable mic stand we've seen but opens to a full four feet high (1.23 m) when fully extended. We have found this to be a very useful height for a lot of measurement work in general, perfect for measuring on the seated listening plane. Constructed of lightweight aluminum this tripod-base stand weighs in at less than 1.5 lbs. (0.66 kg) and easily fits in virtually any carry-on bag, backpack or briefcase-style case. Compact 17.7" (45 cm) footprint diameter that easily navigates between rows in theater style seating.

7’ Tripod Mic Stand Kit
$ 99.00
If you have ever wasted precious time on-site trying to track down a microphone stand (or had to do things with an expensive reference microphone that you will never admit to another living human); if you've ever wished you could just bring your own mic stand with you when you travel for any reason, then here's some good news. This full size tripod mic stand from Manfrotto extends to over 7' high but thanks to a unique leg design, folds down to an astoundingly compact 25.2" x 2" x 3.75" (64 x 5 x 9.5 cm) – small enough to fit easily into checked luggage – and weighs just 2.3 pounds (1.05 kg).

Spring Clamp Mic Mounting Kit
$ 31.00
Q: What's the fastest way to turn a stationary object* into functional a microphone stand?

A: Our spring clamp microphone mounting kit enables you to quickly mount a measurement microphone on the backs of theatre seats, balcony railings, pipes, beams, table tops or any other object up up to 1.6" (41 mm) in thickness -- a terrific option when you need to mount a microphone in locations where a mic stand is impractical to use or when you need to leave your mic stand at home. We package the Manfrotto spring clamp with a 1/4" - 3/8" Adapter Spigot and a 3/8"-to-5/8” thread adapter to fit standard USA mic clips. European style mic clips can be fitted directly to the adapter spigot without the thread adapter.

*Not recommended for use on people or pets.

Quick Release Mic Clamp Kit
$ 62.00
When you need to clamp mount to objects larger than our Spring Clamp kit can accommodate, or just want the extra security of a screw clamp, the Manfrotto Quick Release clamp is just what the doctor ordered. This clamp features a rubber cushioned jaw with a V-channel that allows it to clamp securely to pipes or tubes as well as rectangular objects up to 3.14" (8 cm) in thickness/diameter. The mounting post can be extended up to 4.8 inches from the body of the clamp, providing even greater flexibility in positioning your mic. A patented quick release mechanism make setting and removing a breeze.

Compact Mic Stand Extender
$ 49.95
When you need to get your microphone closer to a sound source high above the deck or as far as away possible from reflective surfaces; anytime you need to loft a microphone higher than an ordinary mic stand can go, it's time to call in the extender. This lightweight aluminum extension pole for Manfrotto baby series stands can extend the reach of the 7' Mini Stacker stand to nearly 15' (~178" – 4.52 m). It collapses to a relatively compact 34.6" (88 cm) for storage – small enough to fit in a trunk style case, duffel or blueprint tube – and weighs just 1.3 lb. (0.6 kg).

The MICro Case - Compact Hard Case for Microphones
$ 20.00
Think of it as body armor for your measurement microphone(s), or any other prized possession of similar size that you need to protect from harm and the elements. Our MICro Case accommodates one or two of most of the mic's we sell, but is compact enough to fit in your backpack, shoulder bag or briefcase without evicting the rest of your gear. Constructed of ABS plastic for high impact strength, even at low temperatures, this case is shock-resistant, crush-resistant, air tight, dust-proof and actually submersible to 100 feet. It even floats — a definite nice-to-have if you work near water or routinely swim to your jobs. Learn More

Microphone Bag – Zipper Pouch – Whatever!
$ 16.00
Some people might think we're nuts, but the truth is we didn't really start out to create the all-around nicest mic bag we've ever seen. It just sort of happened that way.

All we really wanted was a nice little zipper pouch to bundle with our adapter kits. We thought that sounded pretty simple. But after rejecting about a dozen pretty dismal (but not particularly inexpensive) options from several vendors, we finally concluded that if we wanted this done right, we were going to have to do it ourselves. So we set about designing a custom zipper pouch truly worthy of a top-of-the-line measurement microphone or any of the other small, hideously expensive widgetry that people in this line of work need to carry in their travels.

The result was the Rational Mic Bag, made of backpack-grade, water-resistant nylon canvas on the outside, with a padded lining and soft, durable nylon fabric on the inside. It can accommodate larger measurement mic's such as a full-sized Earthworks M30 or M30BX (we checked), swallow a USBPre with room to spare or gobble up our entire Adaptamania! audio adapter kit and still pack flat. Our mic bag is perfect for protecting, cameras, music players, DVRs, external hard drives, direct boxes... even microphones from the rigors of frequent travel. It also features thoughtful details like a sewn-in web loop for tethering and large, silk-screened handwriting area for labeling, so that you don't have to guess what's inside.
