Topic: bogen 3373- small enough for on-stage?

[caymanreview]

ssia. would i be allright on-stage with a bogen 3373 stand? ive got a small on-stage stand that seems a little bulky for my new setup, and i was gonna unload it if the 3373 will go low enough...

im assuming it will be fine, but thought id ask

[nickgregory]

though I have never tried it for that it should be.  Looking at it now, you can vary the height by how much you put the lets "out" so you should be able to use it for that

yep, works fine for onstage

thanks guys, round of T's on me

used it a few times on stage, works well

It will work, but the footprint is pretty big imo. The bogen mini is where it's at!

I use it when I run the TL's on stage, those fuckers are heavy, but yes, it is not the best if space on stage is short

The mini will hold LD's up just fine. Use duct tape. 

but yes, it is not the best if space on stage is short

And it (space) usually is (short).

How tall is the mini?  Or I  guess I should really ask, how low can it go?

I know it goes up to 4'. I'd say it's lowest point is  ~16" off the ground. The 3373 can almost get that low (with the legs completely flat), but you have to deal with that big-ass footprint. The mini is SUPER compact too. Folds up nicely.

what's the price point? at that point I'd just get a kickdrum stand.. probably cheaper and sturdier.

I think mine was ~$50. A kickdrum stand would be cheaper but you get what you pay for.

I hacked my 3373 with a hacksaw - it works great for onstage as well as FOB.

i picked up the 3350 and it's perfect for onstage.

Personally, I've never been able to run the 3373 onstage for shows -- the bands I've taped onstage (skb and garaj mahal, etc.) have wanted to limit the onstage stands' height to around that of a kick drum stand (mics around 18" off the ground).  A 3373 sets up at around 18" and anything screwed onto the threads on top will increase that height.  Great stand, perfect for stage lip recordings and fob work, but imho too tall/bulky for onstage stuff.
