I've been using the Triad-Orbit stands since they came out! And yes, in the studio they really are the best thing since sliced cheese!!! (Well, except that I am no longer allowed to eat cheese.)
In addition to the tripod stands, I put an adapter on my large Latch Lake stand so I can use the Triad-Orbit systems with that stand. They're the highest quality hardware and small stands I've ever used, and are as solid as the large and far more expensive Latch Lake. The arms never droop, and you can position the mic in any way and it stays in place. I also have the small goosenecks for it, and the attachment gizmos for every one of my mic holders and shock mounts.
The bases and hardware are also very heavy and well made. Other small mic stands are complete junk in comparison. The prices are also reasonable for the quality you get.
What he really isn't showing is how the stands themselves can spread the feet wider or more narrow, and tilt all by themselves without the boom, simply using a foot latch. It's very useful even when miking amps, etc.
Even the Austrian K&M stands are cheap junk next to the T-Os, and the Atlas stands, though heavy, were junk to begin with. I never had one that didn't droop and wear out quickly.
Thanks for this video, incidentally, I'm going to get one of those Bulldog guitar stands for use in my studio, as I don't have a guitar stand I really like!
I really ought to do a video of some of my mic hardware...if you want real machining perfection, you oughta see the very superb Grace Design Space Bar, with it's finely made hardware and machined measuring gradations...but that's a story for another day...
