first of all thanks to travelinbeat for providing me with the details of his CA-11 mounting setup in another thread. i've been doing a little research and trying to come up with the best (and ideally cheapest) setup for open recording. would love some opinions/thoughts/suggestions from the experts out there.
i do a lot of stealth recording, but open whenever permitted. for festivals i've usually cobbled some stuff together (standard vocal mic stand, whatever i could find as a horizontal 'stereo' bar, a lot of tape, etc.). i'll be hitting my 6th bonnaroo in june and finally decided to upgrade across the board (albeit on a budget). here's what i've got and then i'll provide some links to what i think might be a good way to complete the setup. goal is to have something flexible enough to run different configs as needed (though i'll probably mostly default to an OTRF setup).
what i have:
- CA-11 cards (w/clips)
- CA battery box
- R-09
- DynaTran AS-303 stand
what i'm thinking about to complete the stand setup:
- stand fitting with 5/8" adapter (

- K&M 23550 Adjustable Microphone Bar (

- windtech SP-20 20mm microphone shockmounts (

that's about $50 total with shipping.
i'm sure there are simpler, better, and/or more flexible combinations of things (and maybe even cheaper) to get those tiny mics mounted, shock-protected and aimed in a variety of configs, but those items seemed to pair up to do what i need.
thoughts, advice, suggestions? thanks in advance.
