Light stand to mic adapter
Getting a new tall mic stand. Looking at the Avenger A635B with the proper
combination of height (12'), weight (light), price ($125), and color (black), except that it's a light stand, not a mic stand. Can't find an adapter from the 5/8" stud to a standard 5/8-27 thread mic mount. I can find mic on one end and stud on the other, but I need to mount TO the stud on the stand (requires a setscrew). AND it should be as small as possible to minimize visual impact. I can rig a pipe fitting if I have to, but it's ugly. |

It's not heavy to carry. It's heavier than the Manfrotto Highboy which is now discontinued, but it's entirely respectable. Can't find an adapter from the 5/8" stud to a standard 5/8-27 thread mic mount. I can find mic on one end and stud on the other, but I need to mount TO the stud on the stand (requires a setscrew). Are you sure it has a 5/8" stud and not an NPT thread that the 5/8" stud screws into, like the Manfrottos? If so, your number one option is to get a 5/8-27 die and die handle from MSC and thread the stud. Otherwise I would call Calumet Photo and see if they have a handle on some adaptors. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Get a grip knuckle to mount on the stud and use a goose neck w/5/8 threads in the knuckle clamp.

69.16.186.52: "Arny Krueger" wrote in : http://www.filmtools.com/microphone-stand-adapter.html Thanks, Arny. That's exactly it. Follow-up with recap. I bought an Avenger A635B light stand to use as a mic stand (cheaper that a Shure and black). To answer Scott, it does indeed come with a 5/8 stud, not a threaded mount. To adapt it to a mic stand, the ideal choice is the item Arnie describes above, which goes straight from stud to 5/8-27 mount. As I got the stand from BH Photo, and they don't sell that one, I got the Manfrotto 014-38 Rapidapter cheaper and no additional shipping charge. It goes from stud to 3/8-20 boom/European mount. To that I added one of my horde of 3/8 to 5/8 adapters from every European mic I buy (AKG, DPA, Schoeps, etc). That makes two adapters to get from the stand to the mic, but I suspect they'll be OK. For about $50 less than the venerable Shure S15A I got a stand that goes only 12 feet high, but supports up to 30 pounds (with sandbags). |
