Seeking guidance for my next possible purchase
Have only owned stealth gear to this point, but plan to hit a couple open festivals and possibly one or two open shows this summer...and I'd really like to not have to *wear* my mics. Snagged an inexpensive 8.5 foot stand on ebay but am now thinking I might like the mics a little higher, maybe 12'-15' .
My questions are...is 8.5 feet enough? Would an extension be a good option? And would an extension attach to a top stud, or is a clamp required?
Another option I'm considering...found a 13' stand at Calumet Photo for $70 shipped. Given the few open gigs I see, wouldn't want to spend more than that.
I'd appreciate any opinions, suggestions etc.
TIA
