Hammer Anvil Short Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom

Compact tripod stand for desktop and stage use

The Hammer Anvil short tripod microphone stand delivers a stable, low-profile platform for vocal or instrument miking in home studios, podcast desks or small-venue stages. Its weighted metal base with 21" rubber-tipped legs resists tipping while the steel-and-polycarbonate frame withstands frequent setup and teardown. The 5/8" collar and 3/8" posts accept virtually any standard microphone clip or shock mount without adapters.

Telescoping boom and column hold position under load

The center column adjusts continuously from 22" to 31" via a twist-action clutch that locks firmly once set. A telescoping boom extends from 19" to 34" and swings through 180°, locking at any midpoint angle so the microphone stays exactly where it is placed throughout a session. Both mechanisms rely on mechanical friction rather than springs, preventing gradual drift during long recordings or performances.

Replaces bulky floor stands when space is tight

This stand upgrades from heavy full-height tripods that crowd small desks or cramped stages, folding to a compact footprint for transport between gigs. The jump is worth it whenever a low centre of gravity and quick one-hand height changes matter more than maximum elevation. Builders needing a second stand for overhead drum miking or a permanent overhead mount will find the short column limiting.
