Teenage Engineering tripod mini is a compact mic stand in anodised aluminium and stainless steel with a 1/4"-20 UNC mount. It was built for portable setups where a full-size stand is simply too much hardware.
Field recording without a full-size stand
Recording away from the studio usually falls apart on logistics: a boom stand has real weight, fills half the boot of a car, and still has nowhere to stand in a small hotel room or on a cafe table. Tripod mini measures 146 mm standing, so it sits next to a laptop and travels in the same backpack as the rest of the kit. Setting it up takes seconds, because there is no boom arm to level and no counterweight to tighten down.
Angle set by the source, not by the stand
The mic tilts up to 90 degrees forward and 110 degrees back, which covers both a flat-on position for someone talking across a desk and a sharp downward angle onto an amp or an instrument sitting on the floor. The 1/4"-20 UNC thread is the photographic standard, so beyond the CM-15 microphone it takes any device with that socket, including a recorder or a phone mount for documenting a session. The anodised aluminium and stainless steel build holds its position under the weight of a microphone and does not fold at the first tug on the cable.
