Topic: who handhelds mics? sweaty in the hat fob?

[KC5]

just curious who handhelds mic stands or shockmounts or tbars (!).  i have a stand that is about to kick it.  i'm thinking of modifying this stand for fob handheld application.  a hat might be better, but i sweat like a --- you know  speaking of--what do you do about hot sweaty shows when running mics in a hat?

Run a T Bar on top of a black bicycle helmet, you'll look like a dork alright but why not?

handholding mics sucks.  its amazing how heavy a pair of actives get after about an hour.  if you don't want to put them in a hat, try a monopod.  should be easy to find a compact 5.5-6'er, you'll just need to get an adaptor to get from the photo to mic thread.

craig,
i wouldn't mind the mics in the hat--if i can get around the sweat factor  i have a stand i'm gonna modify so that it won't have legs--just the sections. i was messing with my mic clamp with the shockmount and mics--looks like that might work--only the mics would be near my chest at about 5 feet or so.

get a telescoping tent pole (8') get them in campmor.com pretty cheap. Rig sominthing on top of that.... on end is on the floor the other is flying high and all  you have to do is hold it with one hand   and you can use the other to pick you nose
