with the akg and vark bars, you just hold the mic still and turn the screw until it's tight, repeat for the other side and then secure the cables. the shure bar has a washer you spin to meet the mic clip/shock to keep it from turning.
^^^ what john said. keep at it, u will get it, and then laugh at yourself when u find how easy it is. ed
i've tried it with that bendable bar, but didn't work so well. I will try it again...
If you're referring to the AKG/K&M bar, I once had a pair of shock mounts where the socket was more shallow than the screw, so even though it was screwed in all the way, it wasn't tight and the mounts still turned. If that is what you experienced, you might be able to fix that with some combination of 3/8>5/8 and 5/8>3/8 adapters or possibly removing that adapters if they are screwed into the mount.
