collapsible mic stand

[Phil Cibley]

Can you get an adaptor for one of those tripods with threading
for a mic stand clip? I know they have them for light stands.

you can use a light stand like this with an adaptor for a mic clip size thread. probably couldnt put a boom arm on it but it would do the trick. check out pro-photo stores

I would love to know where to get such an adapter (other than have a machine shop make it).

i know hunt's photo carries them if you're in mass but u can also mail order them from some companies.

there is a set of adaptors on this page that will work.

i prefer to use the ENG clamp from cascade and clamp to my stand. it has the correct threads on it and i can also clamp it to some sort of railing if i want to.
you can find that on the same page on the cascade site for 18.99.
