Hi everyone - I have the opportunity to open tape some shows in the near future.
All shows I have done so far have been stealth shows using either CA 14 cards or omnis.
I would like to buy a stand and whatever else I need to be able to open tape, and actually tape a show with a real stand instead of using myself as a mic stand!
From reading the forums I see most taper stands are photography light stands, which I didn't know!
This one looks decent and gets good reviews:

Now that I have a stand, and the adapter, what do I need to buy to fasten to the top? Am I looking for a microphone mount, a Tbar, or something else? There mics are just small, and I have the clips on them, so do I just need a bar to clip the mics on? Do I need shockmounts, or are those only for larger mics?
I see this mount from Sound Professionals that looks good, but it isn't clear to me if this just hooks to the top of the stand somehow?

thanks for any advice.
