Title: Adapter for light stand spigot to mic thread?
Post by: jnorman34 on February 26, 2009, 06:24:12 PM

i have a pair of american DJ 9-ft light stands that i need to use for mic stands.  they come stock with some 1/4" coarse thread screw made to fit lighting equipment - the screw thing is an adapter type piece that slides into the main spigot opening in the top of the stand tube and is held in place by a large tightening screw on the side of the stand tube.  i need a couple of adapters that fit into a regular light stand spigot with a mic thread on top, but cannot seem to find them.  i have had some in the past, but cannot find them anywhere.

i know a bunch of you use regular light stands as mic stands, bogens, etc - where di you find the adapters to convert them mic use?  thanks.
