Regarding #2 on RobertNC's post. . .

According to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/AIR-CUSHIONED-PHOTO-PHOTOGRAPHY-VIDEO-LIGHT-STAND-806A_W0QQitemZ200002501563QQihZ010QQcategoryZ30080QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
the Dyntaran 806A already has 5/8" thread.  Is there something different about this thread that it will still need an adapter for the T-mount that I'm ordering?

That's a 5/8" stud, not 5/8" thread.

Well, I'm coming a little late to this but now that I understand all there is to stands I can answer all your questions.

It goes:

Stand -> -> Mics

Anything else you need explained just ask, I can help ya

What's the best way to mount a T bar or a DIY T bar on one of those Dynatran stands? rWc3523

[Brennan]

Just screw it on there. Depending on the threading at the top of the stand and the threading on the T-bar, you might need an adapter.

For example, 3/8" to 5/8".

hope that makes sense

Interesting update. . .
The Dyantran 806A arrived today. While there was a stud on the top, that stud was topped by a 1/4" male thread.  My 1/4 to 5/8 adapter that I already have fits perfectly.

Cool. I've been trying to get one of those and either miss the end of the auction or get outbid in the last second. That won't happen again, but I'm trying to get one for about $30 total. rWc3523
