My Rycote stereo bar arrived today. 

It actually looks much better in the flesh than I expected.

Great, lets see some rig pictures of it in use.

Best I can tell from Pix and description is that the mount to mic stand is bayonet type not screw on?  And that all the mic mounts are the same bayonet style?  Does anyone know if it will accept either 3/8 or 5/8 threaded mounts?

Those little black caps you see on the tops are screw-on thread protectors for 3/8" threads....actually now that I think about it I think they are reversible with 3/8" on one end and 1/4" on the other.

OK so what about the mount to the mic stand?  Any idea if it is threaded for 5/8"?

^^ ive had one for a while & i love it...lighting rig mount from stand and the copper colored pins are reverse able. both outside mounts move along the horizontal bar, and the bar itself can be slid left/right.  ive used it for akg 414 omnis spread on the ends, and mg210's in the middle...bar isnt too heavy either

Do you mean the bayonet style mount has 5/8" threads?  And as a lighting guy...this is not what we call a "lighting rig mount"  Our "lighting rig mounts" are clamps that are designed to mount on 2" OD pipe and truss, not a 1/2" pin....I know busting yer stones a little but what I'm trying to figure out from your post & pix is do you need an adapter to go from the normal 5/8" mic stand threads to a bayonet mount to get this to mount? Does it come with one?  Does it accept 3/8" threads in bottom?  It looks like it an adapter is needed from your pix.  Thanks

From another thread... Here is a Shure A27M mounted on an AKG 235/1 with a windtek clamp, not a typical usage of the AKG unit but a creative one.    Thanks, Darby!

I have one of those link bars, and I've owned an A27.  That's way, way past the amount of weight I'd ever trust on that extended link bar.  Especially extended out over a balcony.

I've done it far more times than I can count

sorry so vague...t-bar mounts on the standard manfrotto pin..just like the 3 copper colored ones that are on the bar itself...it doesnt screw on..just held tight with the horizontal screw on the t-bar....now im even confusing myself

Same here.  I also wouldn't trust the Windtech clamp with all that weight, either (especially without a safety wire).  I find the SuperClamp far more robust for such setups and well worth a few extra bucks for the peace of mind and, most importantly, reduced risk.
