Title: where to find a threaded adaptor for a bogen type stand?
Post by: Swampy on January 10, 2005, 09:08:19 PM

So, does anyone know where I can find one of these other than micsupply (their online ordering is down) or B&H (who sold me the stand and told me it already had a threaded fitting on the top...  thanks!

You can call micsupply at their toll free number.

That base component that fits to the lighting stand stud is available from most photo supply houses.  The other parts may or may not be depending on the store.

i could check b&h for you (the store, not the website, much easier to find things) if you still need help

if you do find it on the b&h website, PM me the link or something. ive got some time to waste this week so its entirely possible ill be there. i dont have a threadless bogen, but i'm pretty sure i know what you mean. lemme know if your order, if not, ill just assume that if i make it there and see it, ill pick one up for you.

i found one locally at a camera shop.  It was in the back with stands and clamps.

While I love the stand I got from B&H, they lost me as a future customer when they bullshitted me into believing that the adapter was already on the stand...definitely second giving micsupply a call as they were extremely helpful and quick to send out the piece.
