i've done so many searches here and can't seem to find the model number of the bogen stand that has the legs folding up. iv'e seen these before in the alternate taping sections. any help with a model number?

thanx brian,
i saw that model number in the archival information section but didn't know it was the stealth stand. do you have one? and if so, how's the construction? the few i seen fob looked kinda small and wobbly. never held one in my hands.

Yup, I have one. It's the only stand I use. I have a 12' APIC stand that I may break out this summer at Rockygrass, but other than that - 3373 all the way. I don't record big arena shows, so I simply don't have a need for a 17' stand.
Stability depends on the footprint. I often run mine with the legs as narrow as they'll go to ensure a minimal footprint. Not as stable this way vs. the legs opened up for maximum footprint, but I've not had any problems. Besides, if I'm in a situation where I'm concerned about stand stability / resistance to people knocking into it, I just tape the sucker down.
This I NOT a tall stand, though - maybe 7'6" fully extended (including A20S shockmount) with the legs as narrow as they'll go. I almost never find myself wanting to run higher, and if I do it's always at shows where I can clamp onto someone's monster tall stand.

just got mine today. very cool little stand. nice and compact. and seems sturdy.

When I first got mine I was concerned about height and stability, but now I know better. I think you'll like it, Bill.
-
I run one, if I need something beefier I just bring a clamp!

OK, getting ready to order one of these and B&H appears to have the best deal....price combined with shipping under $60...anyone have any other spots I should look into?

i've always found b&h to have the best prices on bogen stands so i'd go ahead and buy from them.

mine came in today as well... seems like I could get it up to a little over 7' if I sacrifice a little stability.

so the link doesnt point directly at it...do you have a model number so I can search on it?
-
ok, ordered the bogen 3373 today, can anyone tell me what mount comes on top of it? I am assuming it comes with a 3/8", but just trying to confirm.

Apparently, It depends. I've seen 1/4" threads, but mine has a 5/8" stud. Where'd you buy it and what'd the retailers/manufacturer's website say, if anything?

Didn't see which stand you were referring to.....wanted to compare to my apic.
Nick where did you buy your 3373 (B&H)?

bought it from b&h and the website didnt say...figured it was standard...time to give them a call I guess
-
forget it...just looked at their website again...it is fitted with a 5/8 stud...thanks all
now where do I find a 5/8" stud to 5/8" thread converter...
-
alright, b&h just confused the hell out of me...I guess after talking with them that the 5/8" stud is basically a male 5/8" screw...so I should be set from the get go...right?

Nope. A 5/8" stud is just a...stud. No threads whatsoever. From the Archival Info forum (ahem!):
If you have the 5/8" male stud tip, the adapters you want to get to the 5/8" male threaded tip are:
Model | Starting Thread | Ending Thread
3102 | 5/8" F stud | 3/8" M thread
3366 | 3/8"F | 5/8"M

gothca, thanks Brian....

That's wierd, the 3373 I got from b&h in winter 2002 came with a 1/4" thread, I had to order these adaptors:

according to the website, it comes standard now with a 5/8" top stud

we will see what I get when it shows up....

It's better to find out for sure, I think I remember ordering a 3/8>5/8 adapter based on their specs and then getting the wrong thing when it showed up. I had to pay $7 shipping to get a $4.95 1/4>3/8 adapter so I'd get it in time for a show the following week.
-
alright, I talked to them...they said it is a 5/8" stud, no threads, so I ordered a 5/8 to 3/8 converter, and a 3/8 to 5/8 threaded adapter...thanks all...
-
you'd think after all these years we'd have all of this thread adapter business figured out ::)
I need to get a new adapter for my stand, should be fun ;D

seems every time I buy a stand it has a different damn fitting...hopefully this is the last stand for a while...

That's exactly what I just ordered. FWIW, those are the right part numbers...

got this stand and associated parts...this thing is sweet...small and compact...I dont see myself using it in arenas as I still like the way the bogen 17 fter slides right in between the seats, and I can still get 9 ft or so out of it...but this stand will be my club stand....dont see a need to carry a bigger stand out now...
