I got something like this

I use this exact pole, works great and attaches easily to superclamps and the extension arms.  Get one! :-)

I can't seem to figure this part out... will it connect to 5/8" thread, or does it need a 5/8" stud?

TOP:
It has a 3/8 threaded tip, you would need a 3/8 > 5/8 adapter for a standard T-bar/vertbar mount
you would need this

Bottom:
5/8 Female will clamp onto a standard 5/8 stud like this one or one w/o threads.  The superclamp can handle either.

I'm also using one.  Sweet for theaters with chairs - superclamp to arm rest, extendo pole on the superclamp, perfect.

Thanks for the info, +T. For the sake of clarification, I meant the bottom. So this will not attach to a 5/8" thread?

No the bottom looks like this, requies a 5/8 stud

It's funny you mention this connection interface (as well as the two other pieces in your previous post).  My first stand came with the brass piece and the guy at the lighting store gave me an adapter for free.  So I can just transfer my two pieces to the new stand, awesome.

OK, I'm running this type of clamp:



Does anyone know of an extension like the Bogen mentioned above that would work with this type of clamp? Or should I just bit the bullet and get a superclamp & the extension mentioned above?

They make Stud adapters that will fit the windtech clamp but I would worry about the weight.

EDIT: I can hang from my superclamp when it is securly attached.  I wouldn't try that w/ my windtech

I've run my custom extension on the Windtech clamp before, but only straight vertical - NFW it would be secure on any sort of angle, and frankly it wasn't very secure even vertically.  I'll never do it again.  Bite the bullet and get a SuperClamp.

Sounds like the way to go. Believe it or not, I've never even used the clamp! I was thinking that the super clamp + extension would be preferable (over a stand) for seated shows. I could clamp onto the table or arm rest and run the extension up.

Thanks for that, Fozzy - I don't know why, but I've always had a tough time tracking that sucker down online.  (I suck at the internets.)  If one doesn't have length restrictions, that looks like the way to go.  I have a custom pole (paid about double) because I need the pole to shrink down enough to fit on my motorcycle, and 3' just isn't small enough.

Yea it does kinda suck at that length.  The nice thing about the Bogen model is that it has a Female 5/8 on the bottom, also already has a 3/8 threaded tip so all you need is a 3/8 > 5/8 adpater.  Great to clamp onto a seat w/ a little superclam + accesorey magic or to boom out over/under a railing. 

I've got one of these as well.  I love it & it works great with my superclamp.  Very easy to use.  It would be nice if it folded up a little smaller, but it's not a big deal for me.

FWIW, B&H has a used 3' to 5' extension pole for sale right now if anyone's interested.
