While Triad-Orbit stands are among the most flexible and sturdy mic stands we've ever seen, even the best stand may not quite reach where you need it to go. When GearNuts engineers need a lightweight extension, we go with a durable IO-A aluminum boom arm. This long IO-A2A boom arm extends from 15.5" to 24.75", so you can set your mic right where you need it. Its notched stainless steel hex post is fully compatible with all Triad-Orbit IO Quick-Change mounts and offers the IO-A2A superior weight handling. At the other end, there's a standard IO Quick-Change receiver, and the IO-A2A comes complete with an IO-H mic mount adapter with 5/8" and 3/8" threading.
