Klamping Kwestion
Ronmac:
These are the 3 pieces I use for your situation. As has been mentioned, don't forget to use a safety line to the mic bar.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm ordering on payday. I have the K&M mic bar, though I'm getting a gooseneck rather than a rigid bar for better positioning. I have a few safeties that were part of my severance package from my last job. ;) I've used them a couple times before.

Keep an open mind with clamps.
top pic: Jorgensen wood clamp, for wider objects, like posts. ENd of clamp bar thru-drilled for 3/8-16 bolt.
bottom pic: Spring clamp fitted with 3/8-16 stanchion and 3/8-16 all-thread extension covered in heat shrink.
and, adding in post,....
this is how I clamped to a clamp (third and fourth pic)

Make sure the one you get is stiff enough for the weight you'll put on it. I had a pair of spaced omnis on a Manfrotto 154B (which is a pretty substantial piece of hardware) on a gooseneck once and watched them slowly droop further and further as the show went on. Everything was safety cabled, so I wasn't worried about my mics (or the people under them), but I learned my lesson about cheap goosenecks...

It shook me so hard that I felt like one of the vibrating table football games where the shaking table moves the players. I quickly got off the bridge, and, the shaking feeling stopped. So, I went back onto the bridge, and waited for another vehicle; this time a small communter jelly bean thing came rolling over the bridge,... same result; vibrating table football player.
