Base4Stands Shorty - Natural

The Base4Stands Shorty is the low microphone stand within the Base4Stands series. This stand is made for anything close to the floor: kick drums, snare drums, guitar amps, bass amps, cajons and seated performers. Thanks to its low build, sturdy 4-legged base and modular design, you'll place microphones accurately without unnecessary tripods on the floor.

Compact size, big performance
The Shorty is small in size, but built for serious applications. The base model comes with an 18-inch microphone arm, giving you plenty of reach for kick drums, snare positions, amps and other low sources. The maximum height with vertical arm is 97 cm and the maximum horizontal reach is 46 cm. This keeps the stand low and uncluttered, but gives you enough room to position microphones properly.

Ideal for kick drum, snare and amps
For drummers and engineers, the Shorty is a practical solution around the front of the drum kit. With add-on arms, one Shorty can replace up to three conventional microphone stands in many setups. Consider a kick drum setup with multiple mics, top and bottom snare, or a compact setup where you want to reach multiple low sources from one base. The Shorty is also useful with guitar and bass amps, especially when you want to use two microphones at the same time.

Modular expansion
The Base4Stands Shorty is part of the modular Base4Stands system. You can use add-on arms and Stub Mounts to add additional microphones to the same tripod. The recommended add-ons are a 12-inch arm, 16-inch arm and Stub Mounts. Each add-on can replace one traditional microphone stand in many situations. This leaves you with more space around your drum kit, amplifier or recording studio.

Sturdy Locks Without Force
The Shorty uses sturdy locks that prevent the arm from slowly sinking, rotating or shifting during use. You don't have to tighten the levers with much force to position the microphone stably. This provides extra security for heavier microphones or when a microphone needs to stay exactly in position during a recording or performance.

Light enough to move quickly
Weighing in at 1.9 kg, the Base4Stands Shorty is easy to move but sturdy enough for professional use. The tripod is made of aluminum tubing and connectors, with steel levers and oversized rubber feet. As a result, the Shorty feels solid without the weight of a traditional heavy tripod base.

Grip-resistant rubber feet
The oversized rubber feet provide grip and help reduce vibration. They prevent the tripod from shifting quickly and are made not to dry out, tear or become loose. Combined with the 4-legged base, the Shorty remains stable even when working with multiple microphones or heavier models.

Multiple colors for every setup
The Base4Stands Shorty is available in multiple color versions. This version comes in the color natural. This gives the stand a recognizable aluminum look that fits well in studios, stages, rehearsal rooms and creative work spaces.

Made without plastic parts
Base4Stands makes the Shorty without plastic parts. Constructed of aluminum, steel and rubber, the tripod is made for intensive use in the studio, on stage and in rehearsal spaces. For registered owners, Base4Stands provides a lifetime warranty on the tripod.

Why Base4Stands?

Stable 4-legged base
Base4Stands is designed for engineers who want to position microphones quickly, firmly and precisely. The brand takes a different approach than traditional microphone stands. Instead of heavy round feet, counterweights or a jumble of separate stands, Base4Stands uses a patented 4-legged base with modular arms.

No need for counterweights or sandbags
The patented 4-legged base provides a stable foundation even when multiple microphones are placed and arms are extended far out. This allows you to support heavy microphones, stereo bars or multiple sources simultaneously without sandbags or counterweights.

Oversized Jam Nut for accurate placement
The oversized Jam Nut is scalloped and knurled for extra grip. This prevents microphone clamps and shockmounts from twisting unwanted. Small angle adjustments can also be made quickly and accurately.

Modular System for Greater Overview
The modular system allows multiple arms, stub mounts and accessories to be mounted at different positions. One tripod can thus replace several conventional microphone stands. This saves floor space, makes cable routing clearer and gives more control in complex microphone setups.

High-quality parts without plastic
Base4Stands uses aluminum tubes and connectors, steel levers and proprietary rubber feet. No plastic parts are used. The result is a light but strong tripod made for everyday use in the studio, on stage and in any environment where microphones must remain reliably stationary.
