Quicklock option for stand - pros/cons ?

(1/3) > >>

Chris K:
I'm looking to upgrade mic stand and was interested to know if anyone has any experience with the bogen quicklock type extension locking collar (rather than the knob style)

price being equal, which would you get and why

blu666z:
I have the quicklock and I love it.  Not sure exactly how the knobs stand lock, but mine is very simple.  Don't have to keep turning a knob to tighten it, just click it open and closed.

Brian Skalinder:
I like the quicklock adapter.  It feels more secure, faster to set up, and faster to tear down.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same tips/adapters, these are the part numbers from the archive:

If you have the 1/4" male thread tip, the adapters you want to get to the 5/8" male threaded tip are:

Model | Starting Thread | Ending Thread

3111 | 1/4"F | 3/8"M
3366 | 3/8"F | 5/8"M

If you have the 5/8" male stud tip, the adapters you want to get to the 5/8" male threaded tip are:

Model | Starting Thread | Ending Thread

3102  |  5/8" F stud | 3/8" M thread
3366 | 3/8"F | 5/8"M

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I get it, now.  Sorry, I got confused and though you were talking about which adapters to use for mounting mics.  I only have experience with the knobs, not the locking collars.
