When you're traveling from gig to gig with amps and pedals and cymbal stands, every chunk of metal adds up. As a result, Portastand designed a mic stand that won't break the bank - or your back. The Compact Mic Stand 2.0 features a new Superior Pro Clutch design and collapses down to just 20 inch., but extends to four all-metal tiers allowing for an incredible 63 inch. of height, all coming in at just 4.5 pounds. In addition, it comes with a convenient backpack-compatible carry bag. From there, the nickel-plated 5/8 inch.-27 mic thread at the top will happily hold any standard mic clip, microphone boom, tablet mount, or other accessory with a common mic thread attachment. Toss the telescoping boom arm on it and mic up the port on a low kick drum, stick it in front of a guitar stack, liven up the resonant head on a snare drum, or sing into it. The Compact Mic Stand 2.0 is solid enough to stay where you want it, but light enough to be any roadie's best pal.
