Title: Manfrotto Basic 9
Post by: rowjimmytour on June 19, 2004, 08:36:04 PM

micsupply has this warnin' when you buy a Manfrotto stand!
Note: Bogen/Manfrotto has changed the fitting at the top of their stands from 1/4-20 threads to a brass post.  All stands shipping as of October 22, 2003 now require a new fitting for ANY mic mount.  The old 1/4-20>5/8 adapter will no longer work with the new stands.  You now need a new stand fitting combined with a 3/8>5/8 adapter
I was wonderin' if I could get my adapter for cheaper at home depot otr elsewhere then buy a adapter from them for $15?
Thanks in advance
Peace

This is the new adapter you'll need:

I don't think you'll be able to find anything like that in Home Depot.
