Latch Lake Micking 3300 Boom Stand Black

An "Original" Model Designed for Demanding Long-Range Capture

The micKing 3300 is the original micKing boom stand: a performance-oriented approach, featuring a unique patented base, a boom clutch touted as one of the most powerful in its category, and a philosophy clearly focused on reliability in real-world conditions. Where a standard boom stand quickly reaches its limits (overhang, flex, slipping clamps, delicate balance), the 3300 aims for impeccable stability, even when deploying a long horizontal or vertical reach.

Its signature is the balance between large amplitude and compact footprint: you get impressive reach for complex placements while maintaining a stable and relatively compact base on the floor. This precise positioning makes it a specialized tool rather than a "one-size-fits-all" accessory.

Who It's For and In What Applications the micKing 3300 Makes a Difference

The micKing 3300 is intended for sound engineers, stage managers, studios, and venues regularly working in choral, orchestral, film music, acoustic ensembles, or ambient recording. In these contexts, the goal is often to place a microphone (or a pair) above musicians, far from the tripod, with heights and reach difficult to achieve without compromise.

It is also perfectly suited for studio configurations requiring a long boom (drum overheads, room mics, piano, brass, boom above a music stand) when stability and safety take priority over lightness. With its substantial weight, the 3300 is not meant to be moved every five minutes, but it becomes formidable whenever you need a "set once and forget" placement that is clean, precise, and reliable.

Key Features: Precision, Locks, and Smooth Positioning

Powerful Clutch and Lever Locks: Fast Adjustments Without Compromise

On a long-reach stand, the quality of the clamps is crucial: it makes the difference between an angle that holds and a boom that gradually sags. The micKing 3300 emphasizes lever locking systems and quick clamps with variable tension, designed to save time during setup and fine adjustments. You adjust resistance according to your load and extension while maintaining a controlled feel, which is useful when working several meters from the support point.

Spin Grip Mic Mount: Precise Orientation Without Fighting the Mechanics

The Spin Grip mic mount facilitates millimeter-precise placement, especially appreciated when the microphone is perched high or far from the stand. The system offers positioning up to 295 degrees, convenient for quickly orienting directivity (cardioid, hypercardioid, stereo pair, spot mic) without multiple manipulations. The result: faster, more precise placement and often less strain on cables and connectors.

Movable Counterweight and Patented Base: Stability at Long Extension

When the boom extends, balance becomes critical. The micKing 3300 includes a movable counterweight (3 kg included) to adjust the center of gravity according to the deployed length and microphone mass. Combined with its patented base and wide footprint, this aims to maintain stable support despite a compact footprint, even in the "extreme" placements typical of orchestral recordings.

Finally, a highly appreciated detail in professional environments: cable management is provided at the quick clamps (depending on configuration) to secure cable routing, reduce tension, and keep the stage clean, especially when working at height.
