Topic: MIc stand adapter for Sony D50?

[glocke12]

DOes anyone know if there is a mic stand adapter for the D50?

[professorhalfbaked]

There is a threaded slot on the bottom for use with a tripod.  They show it in the manual on page 14.  But from what I have read, and from a few samples I have heard, you might want to think about having some external mics on that stand...   EDIT:  Instead of using the internal mics, I mean.

Yes, I know you cant mount it to a tripod.

Most places I go to where I would be using this have mic stands available that I can use, so I dont need to carry a tripod.  So, is there some kind of adapter available I can use to mount this to a mic stand?

The tripod mounting hole on the bottom of the D50 is 1/4"x20.  That adapter that was suggested has a 3/8" stud, so either you need an additional adapter to bring it down to size or a different adapter with a 1/4" stud.

Crap! Sorry to have recommended the wrong one glocke12. I asked the same question a few months ago and someone recommended the one that I gave you the link to. I never ordered it and just assumed that the person who recommended it to me knew what they were talking about.

[glocke12]

no sweat harpdoc....I should have checked the specs myself.

Would this work?

I like the looks of the one mentioned by Church-Audio, because of the ball-head adjustment capability.

I didn't realize they were that cheap. Go for the ball head. Its only $18. I thought they were like $50.

Do you think the ball head adapter will work for the PD50 ?  It is actually intended for the R09.  It wouldnt surprise me if edirol used some kind of weird non standard size for their stuff....
