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.  :clapping:  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.

holy crap! if i was directly below on the floor, i think id rather have the new jersey balcony pisser over me than that shure bar..did i just say that?

Nobody's bagging on ya, Mike.

I use a Superclamp and the solid aluminum Manfrotto extension when clamping off a balcony and it IS far more robust. I don't trust a Windtech style C clamp when putting weight out over people's heads.

But like you said....people have done it countless times without incident. To each their own.

Having locking XLRs on the mics would prob avoid any major disaster if something were to fail but I also use a homebrew safety cable (some Belden 1804a and 2 caribiners with double half hitch knots) just in case.

^^ .lighting rig mount from stand and the copper colored pins are reverse able

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

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
I think kirk is talking about the three mounts on the bar. It looks like they are 3/8" because you are using a rapid adapter for the tbar and mg's.

looks like i was confused. But to use the mounts on the bar you would need either 3/8" to 5/8" adapters or rapid adapters or a 3/8 shock correct?

Thanks. I thought that's what kirk was talking about.
I have tons of adapters. Everyone should.

I miss our old clamp spot at Slowdown. I never had a prob with lighter setups on a Windtech but now that I'm running TL's I have to take the extra precaution.

That was some easy tapin. Is that Dustin's AK40 setup? At first I thought it was my old CK1X setup but it's not.

yes... I think that shot was from the NMAS show we all did together
I think he ended up moving his mics down to one of those posts extending out from the floor after you showed up

I like this one:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/534727-REG/K_M_23550_500_55_23550_Adjustable_Microphone_Bar.html

I have owned all of them out there and this one is the tits

Just picked this up at b&h and it's exactly what I'm looking for. Great stereo bar!

The b&h photo doesn't do it justice.
