Robot mic stands

[matt thomas]

I looked into manufacturing something like this a few years back (as did other people on this board I have seen) until I realised its been done many times before and no one had made any money out of it

Find your self a nerd and you should be able to make your own. Or you could even do it out of some kind of robotic toy. Lego possibly even.

The Google search was for "motorized mic stand"

[Friedd]

i think the concept interested me until i saw it was done ...
the robot arm from the rammstein's guitarist studio is way more exciting
maybe because it doesn't look like a stand for handicapped people.

anyway, thanks for your links, let's go back to my good old K&M

so all i need to do is plunk down 1k/unit and I can "fire" my intern?
when the stand can run for a sandwich, i'll consider it.

and why, pray tell, must the majority of boom arms be self-loosening? did it not occur to anyone that flipping the hardware would create a design that won't allow your 87 to smash against it's own stand?

I don't know what scares me more robots in general or that that dude can actually take himself seriously.

robotic mic stand was nothing more then 2 cnc machines with a mic attached to the z axis and another stepper to pivate the mic if you want to do it right try a robotic arm on a rc platform.

Well, this topic is reappearing in two different threads....and I dunno which one to make postings in....although my observations are related to robotics for television cameras.
