Can you unscrew the boom arm and use the base as a normal vertical microphone stand? Does the vertical part end in a standard 5/8" thread?

yes, just tried my blue yeti on the vertical and it fits. Same threading as boom arm. :)-JonOfAllGames

Sadly no. However, you can push the top part of the boom stand up till it's vertical!

Hi Kevin. Sorry for the late response. Yes you can unscrew the boom. The base of the stand is wider than a standard round base so you would have to be careful not to step on or bump the base leg as you would be standing closer to the microphone stand without the boom extension. Hope this helps.

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

Hard to know, since I don't have an Audio-Technia. But my mike has only a moderately heavy base, and it works, and I think the reason is that they clamp attaches so low on the gooseneck that it doesn;t radically change the center of gravity. But, the equilibrium is such that it is a close question. I suppose if it became annoying, one could glue a heavier base to the mike pedestal.

I'm not sure. I looked at the mic and it was not clear to me whether or not this mic has a standard male screw retained fitting on the base. This shock mount requires this type of connection. -Ned

I use this on a basic "guitar center" DR Pro mic stand with the boom taken off. That said, be wary of mic stands that do not have a long section for the threaded male end. Since this has an attachment that fits over the threaded end of the mic stand, if there are not enough threads you will not be able to screw your mic clip or spider on top of that.

No, it will not thread on top of mic stand, because there is no threaded holder on this item. You would have to rig up some adapter or just buy the one with the threaded mic stand mount.

I'm not sure. If you're talking about a camera tripod, my camera tripod has a different threaded end than this mic stand. The end on the boom of this stand has a standard microphone holder thread on it. I think the standard in the US is ⅝″ 27 threads per inch (tpi) Unified Straight thread (UNS, U.S. and the rest of the world)

yes, BUT...the one that was shipped to me had a plastic adapter that had the wrong threads. The end of the scissor boom on mine had the standard 3/8-inch male threaded shaft, and yet the female threads on the adapter that came with the stand I received were obviously not correct and resulted in a very loose fit that was unusable. I ordered the On Stage MA300 5/8-Inch Male to 3/8-Inch Female Knurled 2 Piece Mic Adapter from Amazon. With this adapter it worked great.

No you will need a shockmount for it a bigger clap or use the stand that came with the mic and unscrew it and you can do that

3/8 inch actually it may be 5/8, but it did come with an adapter, I fitted it to the rode psa1 boom arm which states: 3/8-inch threaded mic mount/clip only. If your mic mount thread is 5/8", you will need a mic thread adapter. I know I did not need to buy an adapter.. but it appears i do have a brass piece coupling them.

I don't have this item but I do have a boom that is set up for video equipment with the standard male 1/4 inch threading. Mic stands have a 5/8 inch and in some rare cases, euro sizes at 3/8. I was able to hook up my 5/8 inch mic holder head using this adapter kit (Photogitems Adapter 1/4" Female to Standard Microphone 5/8" Male) which I bought of a vendor on Amazon. here is the link:Photogitems Adapter 1/4" 20 T Female to Standard Microphone 5/8" MaleI hope this helps!!!

Yes, you can use a mic stand with a boom and come in from over and behind. You can even use a mic stand with a second boom connected to the first boom for more precise placment

It does not have the same threaded fitting as a mic stand. Unless you mic weighs 30lbs I don't know why you would but I guess you could with an adapter of some kind.

You need a 3/8 to 5/8 mic stand adapter - here is one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Screw-Thread-Adapter-for-Microphone-Stand-5-8-male-to-3-8-female-/161121435615?pt=US_Stands_Mounts_Holders&hash;=item258395ffdf

The unit is too heavy to be supported by a COMMON boom mike stand. You MIGHT be able to use a very HEAVY duty stand like I use for overhead mics for drums. One needs a heavy base with adequate leg spread to have stability if device AND mic is to be supported on a boom of any appreciable length. Mine I use on a regular stand that the boom has been removed. It works very nice this way. I would recommend that you try a heavy duty stand... they are pricey... that has legs more like a speaker stand. Extend the boom like you need, and then attach weights to simulate the sheilld AND the microphone to check feasibility. You MIGHT need counterbalancing weights on the back of the boom.

Yes, you can use the downward extension piece for traditional large diaphragm condensers or use it without, just like a regular boom stand.

It will fit a standard mic stand. I believe there is an adapter included if it is needed.
