Came across these new stands and add-ons from Triad-Orbit...and totally blown away by the design and quality.
Some of you might have seen these already...but I think they are a fairly new design and production, so I figured it might be of interest to anyone looking for top-notch mic stands, and also a pile of add-ons that can make studio life easier.
Now before you go to the link...be prepared for the higher price tags on this line...but when you consider what these stands can do, it's not crazy expensive. Granted, they are probably geared more toward the busy commercial studios, since the highlight of the design is the quick-change adapters, which are a big deal for the busy commercial studio...but the stands and some of the add-on stuff are way cool, and they look to be exceptional build quality.

I don't need more stands, and they are a bit pricey for sure, or the whole "quick-change" option...but I did order a couple of the M2-R retrofit adapters that can work on traditional stands and instantly give you superior mic positioning options that you could never (or with great difficulty) pull of with a typical stand.
The M2-R is with the short neck....but they also make the M1-R which has a long neck that may be needed if you have very large mics with very large shockmounts, and you have to get the mic underneath the boom arm...so the longer neck facilitates that a bit easier.

The retrofit adapters are also a bit pricey...but I think worth it to put on traditional stands and turn them into very flexible tools when trying to get that mic just right and in-between some tight places or you need that unusual position for some instrument...etc...these adapters make it fast and simple. If you have a lot of mics that you need to change quickly, often...then the other style of adapters would be better, but I don't think that's the usual case for home/project studios.
I should have them tomorrow and will post back my first impression...though I doubt they will disappoint...they just look too cool to!
