I have never had the privilege of having permission to actually set up mics to record in the past - always had the band's permission but had to stealth/mount mics on myself due to the bands not wanting to go through the hassle of "officially" allowing taping or involving the venue.
I'm going to a show on Thursday night and I will have permission to have a small set up so I would like to clamp to a railing of a balcony and point my downward toward the speakers, as is suggested in the venue thread
here. I would like to record using my CA-14 cards and my DPA 4061's. I'm looking for advice on coming up with some sort of makeshift setup that will "get the job done" without breaking the bank and also involving things I can get either locally (home depot, radioshack) or overnighted with Amazon Prime.
I just ordered a Manfroto Super Clamp and I own a Dynex Monopod that I'm hoping will be sufficient for the extension, which has the standard camera mount at the end. What could I feasibly get to use as a bar to get close to a NOLA configuration with the cards? And would I be better off mounting the DPA 4061's in my Kangol so that my head can act as a baffle? I don't have a JDisc or anything like that - my understanding is that I wouldn't get a very good stereo image if I just mounted them to the bar?
