Ultimate Support Pro-R Short Tripod Stand 26.250

What this stand is and who it suits

The Ultimate Support Pro-R Short Tripod Stand is a compact microphone stand built for stage and studio work. Its folding leg mechanism locks securely in use and collapses upward for fast packing. The lightweight MC-05 steel shaft keeps the total weight low while the reinforced plastic base adds durability. It is made for engineers and musicians who move gear often and need a reliable short stand for close-miking tasks.

What to check before ordering

Verify that a short stand reaches the height you need for the source you plan to mic. The shaft uses 22mm diameter steel tubing, so confirm that any clip or boom you intend to add fits that size. The tripod footprint when open should suit the floor space available on your stage or in your booth. The unit weighs 6.5 units, so ensure your cases or bags can accommodate the mass.

What it replaces and when the upgrade makes sense

This stand replaces older tripod models that lack the upward-folding leg design and locking base. The jump is worth it when you need quicker changeovers between sets or safer stacking in a truck. It also upgrades from heavier shafts that slow down load-in and load-out. If your current stands already fold compactly and lock positively, the benefit is smaller.
