Base4Stands Sidekick - Black

The Base4Stands Sidekick is a medium-sized modular microphone stand for engineers, producers and musicians who want lots of stability but don't need a large stand. Sidekick is ideal for seated performers, snare setups, guitar amps, studio workstations and compact multi-mic setups. The tripod combines a sturdy 4-legged base with a lightweight aluminum design, so you can position microphones accurately without a heavy base or extra counterweights.

Reliable partner in the studio
As the name suggests, the Sidekick is made to be a reliable partner alongside your setup. Think of a mic near a seated vocalist, an amp rig, a snare mic or an extra mic next to your console. The base model comes with a top-mounted 24-inch arm, good for a maximum reach of 61 cm. This makes it easy to place microphones around an instrument without the tripod taking up unnecessary space.

Ideal on the snare side of a drum kit
Around a drum kit, the Sidekick comes into its own. On the snare side of the kit, add-on arms allow you to place multiple microphones from one tripod. Thus, Sidekick can replace up to four traditional microphone stands in many situations. This saves floor space, makes the setup more organized and makes it easier to work around the drum kit.

Modular expansion
The Base4Stands Sidekick is part of the modular Base4Stands system. You can attach add-on arms and Stub Mounts to the tripod in different places. This allows you to convert one tripod into a practical multi-mic rig. The recommended add-ons are a 12-inch arm, 16-inch arm, 20-inch arm and Stub Mounts. Each additional arm can replace one traditional mic stand in many setups.

Firm locking without force
The Sidekick uses firm locking levers 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 gives extra security when working with heavier microphones or when a microphone needs to stay exactly in position during a recording or performance.

Lightweight, strong in use
Weighing 2.2 kg, the Sidekick 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 tripod feels solid without the weight of a classic tripod with heavy round 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 Sidekick stands firm even when using multiple microphones with add-on arms.

Multiple colors for every setup
The Base4Stands Sidekick is available in multiple color versions. This version comes in black, with natural connectors. This gives the tripod a sleek, technical look that fits well in studios, stages and creative workspaces.

Made without plastic parts
Base4Stands makes the Sidekick without plastic parts. The tripod is constructed of aluminum, steel and rubber, making it suitable for intensive use in studios, rehearsal rooms and live environments. 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 counterweights or sandbags needed
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 precise 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.
