Topic: SO......where did you get your mic stand

[twatts (pants are so over-rated...)]

I just called and talked to SoundPros...  TOld them my situation, that I had ordered on 11/5/03 and have yet to receive my 2-3 day priority pax with my adapter (11/13/03, makes 6 business days)...

They said that USPS can be slow sometimes and that I shold be patient...  BUt then he saw I had only order a $5 part...  He said he would send out another today via fedex no charge...

What great figgin' service!!!  Everybody here needs to go over there and buy there adapter piece from them...  Just don't rely on USPS Priority Mail!!!

I found this link in the archival info section (Bogen/Manfrotto thread adapters)

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=search&item=SP-TMA-1&type=store

I ordered it last wednesday but it has yet to arrive...  I'm going to assume it is lost (US priority should have had it here the past wednesday at the latest)...

Thanks for this info +T - I purchased a stand and ordered the adapter just now!

I got mine from B&H also. I think it was around $60 shipped for an 8ft with a small footprint. While in NYC for Panic, we noticed that B&H was only a block from MSG so of course we checked it out. My jaw dropped when we walked in the door. Most complete audio/video store I've ever been in.

I got mine for $45 delivered from EBAY.

10' air-cushioned light stand... its perfect, as soon as my adapter gets here...

This looks like a great deal - can you post the link to the adapter you ordered as well?  I think I am going to copycat you!

Peace

I bought the same stand and Must say I have been very happy with the quality.
 check out Micsupply.com. or Just call Davee (SUPER nice guy)
You will need a 3/8 >5/8 Adapter, I think i paid $5

B&H and MicSupply are both very good, but I must say the full B&H catalog makes the most excellent shitter reading material

hahaha I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!!!

After a show where my recording was full of blah blah because I was using a little boom stand borrowed from my PA rig, I got fed up and decided to buy one the same day.  A camera shop in Dallas had one pretty much just like the Bogen stands.  It had the "pneumatic" feature like a lot of stands do where you can release the friction lock and just watch the mics hiss down to your level.  I think it was $70.  9'4".

One thing that's occurred to me since:  The stand is black, and that makes it absolutely invisible in a dark club.  I'm thinking that if I had it to do over I'd get a silver stand so people might have a chance of seeing the legs.

In the meantime, I think I'll glowtape the ends of the legs.  Maybe that'll help.
