Anybody try this with a straight stand or do you need a boom?

It works with a straight mic stand but assuming you have a weighty boom it should work on there. Also, it is not spring loaded but still clips onto my 10" tablet fine.

I did and it still works but the boom provides better proximity to you especially if you play an instrument.

I would assume you could. This boom can be a little top heavy so I suggest adding a sand bag or weight of some sort.

There is a thread on the bottom to attach it to boom pole as well. It never did it but it should be straight forward.

Any standard photography stand with a weight on it to counter the weight of the boom

Yes, depending of course on the boom stand. Big studio mic stands usually have a swivel mount on them already. If you are using a typical stage boom stand, you'll need some kind of swivel. A good way to do this is with a Post Audio product made for this purpose called the RFA-1, but there are lots of other kinds.

If you follow the directions for using one of the two mounting options that come with the boom, you will not have problems with it tipping. BUT... remember that the boom rests in a base and is held there by gravity and if you "lift" the entire boom when you are moving the microphone around, you could accidentally lift it out of the base and it will fall. This has never happened to me, much less have I ever felt the boom lifting when I was lifting the mic. Do not forget to order an adapter between the vibration isolator and the boom. There are two standard threads and adapters available ($3.00+/-) on Amazon and most music stores to adapt one thread to the other

Sure. I'm sure that as you put heavier things on, the limit is not the strength of the stand but that eventually it will tip over (in which case you want a boom where you can put a counterweight on the other end).

I would think could be used on a flat/smooth/rectangular bottom speaker stand sufficient in size - but I'd want to be darn sure they wouldn't vibrate off & that the base was secure. With the rubber feet on both ends of the Isos and a wide or heavy enough stand I doubt it. Especially if using a separate sub or the speakers used weren't that big (ie; not 12" LF drivers) So I think I'd be inclined to try it - but would just pay attention to the speakers once you started to push them just to be sure. I'm using a pair of Event 20/20BAS (8"LF) and a sub with mine. They don't budge.

One of our topeak stands is used for a mountain bike. Works great as long as the bike is "loaded in" straight. If it is at a bit of an angle, it is prone to falling over it someone knocks it. Overall, very pleased with the stands. Super easy to relocate stands as needed and to store away stands in the winter.

This is a very sturdy boom, actually my favourite to use in any condition, i attach 50"x50" soft box or a 90" umbrella with lighting to it with no problems. U will difinatly need some sand bags to hold the wight.

I just used a boom mic stand without the boom. Here's a picture: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151061528266019&l;=1bc1419db0

Five pounds would be a lot of weight for this stand. The boom will hold it, but if it's not balanced right you might have a problem. On the other hand. if you extended the boom directly over one of the tripod feet, it most likely wouldn't tip over. My recommendation is that if you have a five pound microphone, you should get a heavier stand than this one.

I did. Because of where the chords plug in, one brace has to be put on at an angle but it is perfectly stable. It is a GREAT stand. Ours is for the Sunday School classes at our church to share so it gets a lot of moving around. We all love it.

Yes, although I recommend the Hercules stand (I've used both and the H is MUCH sturdier). Wheels on the Ingles are just about useless, although why anyone would want to "pull the bass around" eludes me. Good luck!

I don't know which stand you have, if you are talking about proline stand with tripod boom you good to go, because that's the one that I'm using with it, and I still don't have any issue so far...but if you have the round base stand I don't think it will hold it study. I hope this help...

You have to have a extra duty boom mic stand to use this as its HEAVY. It will not work on a cheap tripod or weighted mic stand without possibly falling. You would have to get the Ulitmate stand that is a professional studio boom, or your mic will be the only thing going BOOM!
