Zoom TPS-4 Tabletop Tripod Microphone Stand

The Zoom TPS-4 is a compact tabletop tripod microphone stand designed to position a compatible microphone on a desk, table, or other flat work surface. It provides a simple alternative to holding a microphone during recording, streaming, podcasting, vocal work, and voiceover sessions. Its low-profile form is suited to close-mic setups where a full-height floor stand is unnecessary.

This stand is intended for creators who need a portable desktop mounting solution for a microphone. The adjustable height helps place the microphone closer to the speaker or performer while keeping the setup compact. It is compatible with microphones and microphone accessories that use its universal 5/8-inch mounting thread.

The TPS-4 is a passive support accessory and does not process, amplify, or alter audio. Instead, it supports consistent microphone placement, which can help maintain a repeatable recording position from session to session. Rubber feet help keep the tripod planted on a tabletop during use.

Zoom uses a durable metal-threaded connector at the top of the stand for repeated attachment of compatible microphone clips, shockmounts, or microphones with integral mounting threads. The tripod legs collapse for storage and transport. A twist-style adjustment mechanism changes the stand height from 3.5 to 5 inches.

The TPS-4 fits naturally into compact podcast, streaming, desktop recording, and mobile production systems. It is designed for use with Zoom microphones including the ZDM-1 and SGV-6, while its standard thread also supports many compatible third-party mic clips and mounts. A microphone clip or compatible mount may be needed depending on the microphone being used.

• Universal 5/8-Inch Thread: Works with compatible mic clips, mounts, and microphones.

Design & Installation

The TPS-4 uses a three-leg tabletop tripod design with collapsible legs, rubber feet, and a metal-threaded top connector. Its compact construction is made for desktop use and travel, with a height just above 5 inches at its tallest setting. The black finish keeps the stand visually unobtrusive in recording and streaming setups.

Place the tripod on a stable, level tabletop and fully open its legs before mounting a microphone. Attach a compatible microphone clip, shockmount, or microphone to the 5/8-inch thread, then use the twist-style adjustment to set the desired height. Confirm that the microphone and any accessories are securely attached before recording; a microphone clip is not included.
