Triad-Orbit and Precision has started shipping its new iOrbit Pro, the latest addition to the Triad-Orbit Toolbox of click-and-connect adaptive couplers for the music industry that was launched at NAMM 2025 . The iOrbit Pro’s spring-loaded, padded jaw apparatus enables the use of protective and waterproof covers on tablets and smartphones. The integrated iO-C2 variated clamp, with its vise-jaw technology, can anchor the iOrbit Pro to almost any work surface, such as desks, tabletops, stands, booms or trusses.
The new iOrbit Pro features Triad-Orbit’s iO quick-change coupler for modular and adaptive connectivity and has a Micro-3 orbital swivel which delivers a useful 360 x 220 degrees of motion. The design is currently awaiting a patent award for its four-point lockdown adjustment mechanism that gives users total control for fine-tuning the position of a screen or iPad so it provides an optimal viewing angle and comfort placement. The iOrbit Pro has an alloyed housing and electroplate finish for durability.
The look, feel and functionality of the device are specifically designed for the unique demands of music and media professionals. It’s been 10 years since the company first launched its modular range of articulating tripod stands, orbital booms, micro-orbital adaptors and its clever IO quick-change couplers. The products were developed to give music professionals—whether in recording studios or at live events—a unique system of connectors and fasteners for attaching microphones and other bits of kit.
However, the company’s story didn’t start there. Back in 2006, after more than 20 years of producing music products and accessories such as wires and cables, bags and cases or stands and hardware, Herschel Blankenship and his Music Express partners set out to create an innovative and branded product line that could encompass all their collective design,manufacturing and business experience. Blankenship explains, “We finally settled on a pretty lofty goal; reinventing the mic stand.
From day one, our mission was to design and build original, patent-protected, innovative support systems of the highest quality. Our Industry was flooded with me-too, deposable, commodity-based house brand stands. We opted to pursue a different path: intelligent design, intellectual property, premium products and brand loyalty.
” The result was a range of IO quick-change couplers which are multi-patented and modular components that form part of Triad-Orbit’s support systems. The IO couplers provide instant connectivity and countless ways of configuring a custom stand system that would be suitable for any task. The system became an overnight hit and it didn’t take long for creators and multimedia professionals to begin asking about additional IO heads and accessories that they could adapt to use on all their photo, video and lighting devices.
It’s been a decade since Triad-Orbit evolved its original offering of a modular microphone stand system into one of the largest and most diverse manufacturers of stands, mounts and support solutions for audio, video, photography, lighting, broadcast, commercial, industrial and even medical applications. The new iOrbit Pro is shipping now and available from the Triad-Orbit website and is priced at $199.99.
