mantona 31cm Tripod Boom Extension Arm

Product Information

Perhaps you have noticed a pattern here, as each stand adds a small amount to the one before it, which is no different. The Neewer NW-35 is a scissor-arm stand that employs a clamp frame, similar to the SB-2, but instead of one point of articulation, the Neewer NW-35 has two. A scissor stand not only allows you to move the mic when using it but it also enables you to shift it out of the way while not in use. This requires a very sturdy stand. I’d go with a heavier duty wide base three legged stand over a C-stand and on the camera mount end you’ll need an adapter with a 5/8-inch (AKA “baby pin”) receiver on one end and either a 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 threaded screw on the other. My advice is to mount a tripod head on that adapter so you have control of where the camera is pointing. The Hercules Tripod Base Hideaway Boom Stand MS533B is a sturdy number that’s designed for speed and convenience. At first glance, it appears to be just a simple, single-pole stand with a tripod base, albeit one with a nifty one-handed, squeezable EZ clutch to facilitate rapid height adjustments.

The PSA1+ is the ultimate studio boom arm for podcasters, streamers and broadcasters. Its innovative parallelogram spring design ensures ultra-smooth movement and precise microphone placement in any position, while its fully damped internal springs and neoprene arm cover eliminate mechanical noise for completely silent operation. Integrated cable management ensures your setup is tidy and its extended reach and full 360-degree rotation make it easy to position your microphone exactly where it needs to be. Take your content to the next level. Key Features: The Pixapro Tripod Light Stand with Fixed External Multi-Angle is ideal for Product Photographers, Macro photographers, and videographers who need to film with a top-down perspective.Finally, we step away from the desk stands and into something more important. The K&M 21090 is a tripod-base mic stand with a boom handle. Obviously, this would take up a lot more space in your room than a desk-mounted stand. It can, however, provide you with a lot more versatility in your setup. While having such a large mic stand can seem excessive at first, it is the only stand on this list that allows you to record while standing up. Microphone stands have existed for over 100 years. Nobody actually "invented" them since some of the first microphones had undetachable stands built into the mics themselves. The concept of a stand came along with the invention of the microphone. The AT2020 excels at voice over recording for podcasters, gamers, YouTubers, and others. It does record the voice expressively and accurately. As a result, several mic stands are built to be used on a desk. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554071-REG/Manfrotto_161MK2B_161MK2B_Super_Pro_Tripod.html?sts=pi&pim=Y Based on the new unit, I can now recommend it. Keep in mind that this is not an industrial-strength unit (nor is it priced like one). But for general-purpose use, it is certainly adequate. I suggest you keep an eye on the weight balance so it does not tip over if you put too much weight on the bullhead end (there is a hook on the other end for a counterweight, but I don't think you would want to overweight that end either).

Pole: The main part of the stand that rises up from the base, the pole is usually height-adjustable by way of the clutch. Loosening the clutch will allow you to raise an internal pole of a smaller diameter to increase the stand’s height. Although the AT2020 comes with a fairly simple desktop mic stand, it is the first component that should be replaced. Anyone interested in sound recording should invest in a good mic stand. Replacing the stand on your AT2020 will ensure optimum audio quality and versatility. This is yet another industry-standard microphone stand that you will see everywhere and with good reason. The 21090 will last for years because it is durable, versatile, and easy to move. Pros

Final Thoughts

Essentially a shorter, desktop version of a standard, round-base mic stand, the On Stage DS7200QRB embodies the phrase ‘everything you need and nothing you don’t’. Its 5.9” / 150mm-diameter steel base weighs in at a hefty 2.9lb / 1.3kg, making it sturdy enough to support the heaviest of mics without fear of toppling over. My wife shoots top down food for a portion of her career and does so with a pretty amazing tripod I cobbled together from a variety of parts - the base of which is a 12' or 15' Manfrotto aluminum and steel tripod; on top of which is a swivel base, and then a Manfrotto extension arm. It is the closest thing you can get to a Foba or Salon stand without buying either: This article offers a basic guide to mic stands, revealing the seven different types as well as which setups they're best suited for. What Is a Microphone Stand? The AT2020 is now in thousands of home studios and offices, bedrooms, and conference centres, and it appears to be a class-leading mic for many years to come. The AT2020 has evolved into a versatile mic that excels in pro audio applications while setting the bar higher for other microphones in its price range.

The AT2020 is a cardioid condenser microphone from mic-Technica that has rapidly risen through the ranks to become one of the best in its price range and class.

Two approaches: adapt a boom arm used for lighting or use the kind of jib used for video work. I have recommendations for both. First and foremost, we are musicians, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best mic stands on the market right now. Solidity: Especially when recording, it’s important that your microphone will be held securely and not move around during use – some heavier mics can induce sagging when attached to extended boom arms on some lower-priced stands. The booms I recommend are the “Mini- Boom” from either Manfrotto Avenger or MSEGrip.com. Both are essentially C-stand columns with a grip head welded to the lower column.
