Title: On-stage/table stand recs?
Post by: greenone on May 03, 2004, 12:29:36 PM: Just curious what folks use for on-stage or table-top stands where there's no stage lip to clamp to. Basically looking for something small and light with a 5/8" thread on the top and a fairly small footprint; it doesn't have to be tremendously stable though rubber feet would be nice...

for onstage i use a normal mic stand(not boom) with the round metal bottom. small footprint and perfect height for onstage. can also be had at any old music store.

no threads on top, but I have a clamp...

Looks like K&M also makes a black one, the 23100B, that doesn't have the nub on it, but it's a little bigger. Probably go with the nickel finish, though...and maybe get a C-clamp when I order if the Rowi I'm getting in doesn't work out...

Post by: greenone on May 04, 2004, 09:22:01 AM: Nick, any model # info, and how small does that fold down? I assume the legs fold in? My bag is a foot across on the inside - anything I can get to fit in there would do the trick...

Post by: nickgregory on May 04, 2004, 09:49:11 AM: the legs fold in, it is probaboy 10" long when folded up, made of aluminum, really light...I will get accurate measurements and post tonight

Post by: greenone on May 04, 2004, 09:49:50 AM: Thanks Moke! I'm definitely leaning toward the K&M stand - rubber feet, looks damn light, probably won't scratch anything up in the bag, very low-pro. Can you lock the legs in a halfway-up position (make it "stand up" a bit more), or is it an either open or closed thing?

EDIT: One more q - what T-bar do you guys use with these? I've got some SDs so I'm not too too concerned about the weight. Moke, you mentioned it was unstable with a vert bar, but do you run the ADK's on it? I might just pick up an AKG or a K&M bar at some point for clamping purposes - the vert bar may be too heavy for clamping onto anything - but I'd like to keep it for use with my stand and possibly this one...

Thanks to all!

Post by: greenone on May 04, 2004, 11:14:47 AM: Sounds good. For $13 it's definitely worth a shot - I don't see myself using this in a situation where I wouldn't be right next to the stand protecting it...
