Following the global success of its innovative tripods and camera accessories, 3 Legged Thing is further diversifying with a new line of professional microphone arms designed to meet the needs of a broad range of content makers.
"As someone who spent a lot of my early career on broadcast radio, I've been wanting to get my teeth into an AV project for some time. Hosting my own comedy podcast since 2017 left me frustrated with the available equipment (and my ability to entertain) in much the same way that tripods did prior to me founding 3LT, so I'm absolutely delighted to be able to bring our first AV offerings to market," said Danny Lenihan, Founder and CEO of 3LT.
Named after some of British radio's most iconic DJs, John, Annie, and Steve each boast an array of essential features.
The three models are:
Annie – named after trailblazing, female DJ, Annie Nightingale.
A professional studio microphone arm that's designed for broadcast or recording studios. Featuring a balanced, silent, spring mechanism for smooth, omni-directional movement and 360û rotation, Annie ensures effortless adjustments and perfect positioning. The integrated cable management keeps setups tidy, and it mounts securely to desks via a clamp or grommet system.
Steve – named for Steve Wright – famed for his BBC afternoon-zoo style shows.
Steve is a compact mic arm ideal for live-streamers and podcasters. It comes with a removable extension column offering flexible height adjustment and tailored equipment clearance for optimum positioning. Built-in cable management helps keep workspaces organised. Mountable via clamp or grommet, Steve is an excellent choice for versatile audio setups where clearance of audio and computer equipment is essential.
John – named after John Peel, who broke new artists via his late night show.
Compact and easy-to-use, John is an ideal mic arm for vloggers, YouTubers, and podcasters looking for a versatile stand without the professional price-tag. With 360û rotation, a desk clamp mount, and 3LT's Reusable Cable Ties included for cable management, John's superior build quality ensures a premium solution and great value for money.
All three models are compatible with standard microphone threads, thanks to the supplied 3/8" and 5/8" adapters. Each arm supports microphones weighing up to 1 kg / 2.2 lb, making them suitable for all microphones, including professional shock-mounted USB or phantom-powered condenser mics.
Annie, Steve and John are available now directly from 3LeggedThing.com, and at select audio and content creation equipment retailers worldwide. Suggested retail prices are:
Annie: UK £59.99 / US $69.99
