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.

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.

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.

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.
