Ultra-stable, Super-versatile Tall Stand

Whether you're recording in your studio or trying to figure out how to gracefully fit dozens of mic stands onstage, you'll wonder how you ever got along without the Triad-Orbit Triad T3 tall tripod mic stand. We appreciate these stands at Sweetwater because they're incredibly rugged and secure; they set up fast and give you more positioning options than you'd ever expect. It's easy to get your mics in the perfect spot, and the Quick-Change Couplers make it effortless to swap out mics. For maximum versatility, get the Triad-Orbit Triad T3 tall tripod stand.

Solid tripod legs provide phenomenal stability

The stability alone makes these stands pay for themselves. Unlike lightweight metal tube legs, Triad Stand bases feature solid metal legs. These legs are heavy and hard to move, making up for the added weight with heroic stability. Sweetwater recording engineers love the way you can attach your heaviest microphones to these stands, without worrying about them tipping. Our live sound techs also appreciate being able to place our Triad Stands center stage without worrying about over-exuberant performers knocking them over.

Individually adjustable leg angles for flexible positioning

Set each leg independently to one of four angles via foot-actuated ratcheting mechanisms. By ratcheting all three legs to the same height, you can comfortably overlap bases to get your stands right next to one another. That's something anyone who's had to mic up a tight drum kit can appreciate. Also, by ratcheting up only one leg, you can tilt your stand up to 65 degrees. This often eliminates the need for a boom. And since the base is weighted, you'll still get greater stability at a full 65-degree tilt than you'd get from a typical stand.

IO Quick-Change Coupler for fast mic swaps and more

All Triad stands feature the IO Quick-Change Coupler that lets you quickly and effortlessly swap out mics, booms, and other Triad-Orbit IO Components. It's made to interface with any Triad-Orbit IO Components that include hex mounting heads, but you can pick up additional IO-H Mounting Heads to outfit the rest of your standard 5/8"-thread booms, mic clips, and other mic-stand attachments. The minutes you save setting up will add up to hours before you know it, helping you spend more time recording in your studio and less time screwing and unscrewing mic stand adapters.

Industrial-grade clutches for secure height adjustment

No more drooping mics! With industrial-grade clutches on all their telescoping shafts, Triad Stands won't slip or fail on you. Once tightened, these clutches aren't going to move, even under loads that would cripple ordinary stands. At the same time, knurled metal clutch barrels make Triad Stands easy to adjust, so you never have to worry about locked up grip clutches or over-tightened thumb screws.

Triad-Orbit Triad T3 Tall Tripod Mic Stand Features:

  • Rugged, flexible, and extremely stable mic stand for stage or studio use
  • The perfect height for drum overheads, choir mics, and ambient room mics
  • Solid metal tripod base delivers extreme stability — ideal for heavy mics
  • Each leg has 4 ratcheted positions for up to a 65-degree pitch
  • Easily adjust legs with ratcheting foot-actuated latches
  • Industrial-grade clutch with knurled metal barrel for rock-solid grip
  • IO Quick-Change Coupler lets you easily swap out mics and IO Components
  • Buy additional IO-H Mounting Heads for your 5/8"-thread mic gear

Reviews

Tripod Excellence
If you have to have a tripod that will withstand a nuclear airburst, this is the one. Every piece of it is over engineered and rendered in substantial, high quality materials. The weight of the assembly ensures stability. This is the Rolls Royce of tripods. Highly recommended.
Best mic stand ever
I've always used Sampson and On-Stage stands in the past for my bands and my studio but they didn't like large diaphragm condenser mics on booms. I used to have to place scuba weights on the opposing legs to keep them from tipping over. Of course I could probably buy close to 20 of those stands for the price of one Traid-Orbit stand but at least with the T-O, I don't have to carry around a half dozen scuba weights. This stand also beats those other stands when it comes to floor footprint on small stages. I can put a Blue Bottle mic on the boom arm and extend the boom to full length without adding counterweights.

Also changing mics is a snap, with those quick disconnect fixtures. In the middle of a gig if a mic fails or just doesn't sound right for the job, swapping mics is done in seconds without fumbling around screwing in a different sized mic holder. I used to go through about 10 of the cheaper stands a year even with just light to medium gig schedules. Plus the mic holders would always break at the most inopportune times. I used to replace dozens of those a year.

Now I no longer am the band leader so all I need to do is supply stands for my mic and for my guitar cab so I'm sporting the T-O stands and bandmates are jealous. Plus I will be replacing the stands in my studio with T-Os as the old ones wear out or break.

I was torn between these stands and Latch Lake stands, I chose these because the tripod legs on the T-O are shorter than the Latch Lakes and the price is nicer too! I appreciate not have to trip over mic stand legs.
