Usage Features:
General Setup (Pro Series):
- Tripod Base Models (Pro-T-F, Pro-T-T, Pro-T-Short-T, Pro-T-Short-F, Pro-T):
- STEP 1 (Base Setup): To set up the tripod base, the Z-knob at the base must be loosened. The base then slides down, allowing the legs to extend. Once the legs are in place, the Z-knob is tightened to lock them securely.
- Weighted Base Models (Pro-SB): The shaft screws directly into the weighted base for stability.
- Stackable Base Models (Pro-ST): The shaft screws into the stackable base, which may offer space-saving storage or modularity.
- STEP 2 (Height Adjustment - Quarter-Turn Clutch): All models featuring the ergonomic, patented Quarter-Turn Clutch allow for quick and precise height adjustments. To adjust, the clutch is turned counter-clockwise a quarter turn. The stand's height can then be moved up or down. To secure the desired height, the clutch is retightened by turning it clockwise.
- STEP 3 & 4 (Universal Mic Attachment): The mic attachment system is universal, accommodating both U.S. and Metric threads.
- Thread Conversion (STEP 3): If converting from U.S. to Metric threads, a 1.5 Allen Wrench is used to unlock the threads. The U.S. threads are turned counter-clockwise until removed, along with the U.S. lock nut.
- Mic Clip Attachment (STEP 4): After selecting the desired thread type (U.S. or Metric), the microphone clip is placed onto the universal mic attachment. The lock nut is then turned counter-clockwise to securely lock the mic clip in place.

The Ulti-Boom Pro (Fixed & Telescoping) offers advanced boom arm adjustments:
