used them at the Sunday YMSB show- around the base foot print (tripod legs) of my mic stand - it seemed to be effective at alerting even the most wasted of folks that there was something down there!

Darby - What is that above you?  Is that a Spammer?

so where should I get the bar that I can put my shock mounts on?

And will it clamp/screw directly on??

What if I want to put other mic(s) on the stand as well??

Arrrgh, my heads hurts...

I have an AKG-KM235

Light stands have a threaded pin of some sort. I use this with mine, along with a 3/8 to 5/8 adapter. I keep the mount with the adapter attached to my stereo bar.

"I 've been looking through pages and pages of "lighting stands" on B&H photo looking for a decent mic stand."


As a photographer for many years I'll suggest this one at 9.5 feet:

I have a couple of them. It will handle some pretty big lighting units so a mic rig should be fine. Less than $40.

I HIGHLY recommend the AEA stand that Sonic Sense sells. I bought mine new in 1998, and its still going strong til this day Its pricey, but I have DEF got my $$ out of it!

when I was in the market for a stand last year I went with this, and have been really happy with it. goes up to 13 feet (though I've only had to go that high once).

I just had one of these bad boys delivered to me today. One thing wasn't obvious to me until after I ordered it, though: the 5/8" portion of the mounting stud is NOT THREADED. There is a 3/8" threaded top, and a brass 3/8"-to-1/4" adapter supplied. If you need to mount a 5/8" mic bar, you'll need an adapter (either 3/8"-to-5/8" or 1/4"-to-5/8" will work).
