It's actually a piece of plastic tubing (pool supply) that I screwed into the cooler to keep the vert bar handy and from falling to the bottom of the bag.

If you measure the length around your mics with a tape measure and check and see if they are roughly the same size as the c4's I might be able to help you out.  I am getting new shockmounts from studio projects bc these are a bit loose, but if they are roughly the same size i'd be happy to send them to you and you could use them for yours as soon as I get my new ones.

Okay.... no laughing.  There are 10 CM in an inch, right?  If I'm reading this tape right, my mics are 6.5CM "around" and 11.5CM long.  It's the length that worries me.  There's doesn't seem to be enough room to put a shock mount on, and pull off some heavily crossed mic configs.

My project this week is to get a protractor and make some templates for various configs.  I would certainly entertain any offer you make on your old mounts if you see them working out for me.

And THANKS!!

2.54 cm to an inch. Try remeasuring using inches.

It might be easier measuring the diameter rather than the circumference. If you don't have any calipers, use some open ended wrenches. If you don't have any available, take the mics to a Sears or someplace that sells tools and use one of their display models. Or you could just put the mic against a large book and place the measure across the top of the mic body and see how wide it is. A quick rule of thumb is 19mm = 3/4 inch.

Taking your measurements, your mics are ~2 1/2 inches around by 4 1/2 inches long?  Just measured a Nak body, it's 66mm circumference and 21mm diameter. The AT8410 will handle the diameter with no problems and the metal cage is 3 7/8 inches so by the time you add cables, you should have no problems, especially if you use a Shure vert bar. Between the vert bar and the mounts there are an almost infinite number of adjustments. If you can't get enough spread, just keep a t-bar or two, standard and long lengths, in your gear and you'll be able to use almost any configuration imaginable.
