[Black] I love triad orbit's products. So well made and so helpful in a studio setting. Can't recommend more highly!

[Aluminum] All the Triad Orbit products are very high quality, I would not hesitate to buy anything from them. This is a solid clamp.

[Aluminum] The second review here could not be more incorrect. I mean if you're going to take the time to review something and go to the extent of weights and measurements, you might want to actually read the instructions.
The 5/8 female thread that mounts to traditional stands threads right on. And the IO-RA is the only adapter that locks down on the stand so it does not spin off. This is the hex he references. No one would be doing this at a gig. The IO-RA are loaded on stands before use and remands on the stands. It does include a female 3/8 adapter for Euro threads.
It takes absolutely no effort to push the IO head in to the IO-RA. And they have lots of different heads for mics, cameras lights and more.
What he said about mic damage is just straight out false. It's an easy one hand push. I work in LA. Warner Brothers, FOX, Capitol Records and most major rooms here have made the conversion.

Triad-Orbit release this adapter in 2012. 6 years before Gator copied it. I'm sure they will hear from Triad-Orbit about this at some point.

If you're a discerning audio engineer you should check out Triad-Orbit as they have really reinvented the mic stand category. Oh, and they work in video production just as well.

[Black] If you care about your expensive microphones, then use these reliable quick mounts that actually work and stay seated.

Don’t get knock offs or cheap stuff, you’ll regret it.

These clicks in easily and sits snug, it’s easy to swap and the quality is fantastic.

[Aluminum] Beautiful fit and finish as all Triad-Orbit products. Works alone as low stand for camera/light/mic. Mounts from above or below via attachment holes. Bottom includes thin rubber layer to provide isolation from desk, table, floor, wall, ceiling or whatever it is attached. I plan to buy more. Very adaptable attachment. I have a beautiful piece of tropical hardwood that I plan to attach to the bottom to provide more stability for my desk mic stand, and attached a Triad-Orbit IO-A1 Extendable Boom Arm, it fits perfectly on my desk. It looks great! I record Kirtan music where the musicians sit on the floor and it has proven very useful in this application. I have used it with a Wildtronics Pro Mini Parabolic Mic to make bird and ambiance field recordings in Costa Rica. It travels well.

[Black] These are such high quality, every single component is top tier. Any other brand and there will be weak links that break.
These are so easy to use, adjust, connect/disconnect, install and anything. They don't move a mil after you've set them.
If you have a nice mic, you'd wanna feel 100 percent sure it's not gonna fall at some point, so the money for these is well spent.

[Black] The logic behind this product is pure simplicity. If you are working gigs regularly, it's easy to see how much time and fiddling you'll save by not having to thread on (and off) dozens of microphone clips per job. Plus, it will eliminate the possibility of damaging the fine 5/8-27 threads from accidental cross-threading. The hex-shaped pin prevents the microphone from spinning / loosening itself when attached horizontally to a boom arm. And Triad-Orbit was smart enough to make this work with any standard mic stand or boom -- not some proprietary hardware attachment. They provide adaptors for 3/8 European threaded stands, and a 1/4-20 threaded stud for cameras -- plus an extra set of set screws in case you lose any in the backstage darkness!

I was impressed with the high-quality packaging, and the couplers themselves seem to be manufactured to a high standard. I've never regretted buying high quality tools, and this is no exception. I'll be buying more.

[0.95 lb] If you need something like this, the buck stops here. This stuff is MADE!
