Topic: Help with a stand selection

Most any music store that sells mics will have 3/8" to 5/8" adapters.....actually they will give them away as they still come w/ many mics yet are rarely needed.  A decent camera store will sell a 1/4" to 3/8" sleeve for $1 or so!

I've been looking for these adapters and they are not stocked by most camera or hardware stores, nor do they cost $1.  The 3/8" to 5/8" is common.  However, the 1/4" to 5/8" is not.  I checked with a bunch of camera stores in Atlanta and non had one, or even knew what I was talking about.  B&H Photo, which stocks all kinds of pro photo and audio gear, has a 3/8" to 5/8" adapter for around $4.  Dale Pro Audio has the 1/4" to 5/8" for $14.

You put the two pieces together
1/4" to 3/8" - Sold at Camera stores for $1.00
3/8" to 5/8" - Mic salesman have these to give away

I know I'm glad I spent a $1.00 on the junk instead of $15.00 plus shipping......

sorry I wasn't clearer, i mean are you joking that you can't tell between bogen and manfrotto which one is italian?

I'd guess if it ends in a vowel it's italian
