Yorkie Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Been thinking about mounting mics from a marquee roof- no trusses in the relevant positions else would use half couplers with 3/8" bolts, then boom arms. Next idea is to use Kader clamp with 3/8 bolt but the boom arms available aren't long enough. Can I get anywhere an adaptor to mount the vertical portion of this (http://produkte.k-m.de/en/Mic-stands/Floor-stands/260-Microphone-stand-black) into a kader clamp - basically an adaptor with an M10 or M12 male thread and a 7/8" (?) female thread?

alexforey Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 For mics, would Manfrotto Superclamps work? They have bunch of spigot and thread types which would make finding an extension arm easier. Or, how about suspending them? I've seen LDCs hung in their spider shock mounts by tie line, and pencil condensers hung from their XLR cables taped in a small loop so the mic isn't pointing straight down.

Peter F Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Manfrotto magic arm with a super clamp each end. Edit: Pretty much the same as Alex has suggested whilst I was looking the other way! Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadingle Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 What kind of mics are you planning on using? Would changing the mics to ones designed for flying be easier? (I'm thinking of something like the AT Pro 45?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I might be wrong but you might have a hard time getting a superclamp on to a kader. IIR kaders knock on 15cm and a superclamp wont open that far/ will have VERY little grip if it does. You could fashion a holder out of coat hanger wire ? and suspend from the XLR which I have done before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And everyone should own a super clamp with a magic arm because they are so useful for so many different things!) Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
