1. Great hack 2. Using it for a long time! 3. I see some use for it, although I have some have duty mic stands I use 4. Those things are very handy! 5. No matter what adapter, buy them. You will eventually need them! :) I have a mic bag full of them. Instead of an SM58, they are filled with every adapter you can think of! 6. Weights use for fitness are not very expensive but really help create are very heavy base 7. Mic to video adapters! Also very handy and are in my adapter bag :) 8. I use my broken stands for that! lol! Thanks for the video!
Because the 5/8 3/8 and 1/4 20 thread sizes are also used in photography, photography light stand or a camera tripod work well as mic stands. Light stands have a large three legged base and eat up a lot of floor space. Something to consider depending on where your recording.
boom cymbal stand's base with a mic stand's boom arm was something i did for years, especially in venues where youve to play without a stage - people will stub their toe before driving the mic into your teeth. also, for sitting down, the cymbal stand's boom clamp sits lower than a mic stands boom clamp...if you are sitting in a normal seat the boom arm is sitting at 90 degrees, its less stable and looks very untidy. i now use a traditional mic stand and have actually cut the vertical tube in half so the angle of the boom arm is at 45 instead of 90. i kept the boom arm the same length so it can reach high enough for when im standing, and is also high enough to hold drum overheads. i just bought three cheap chrome mic stands and three matching drum stools for my three piece acoustic act and cut all three mic stands down and it looks much better than unaltered stands
Hack #6 can also work with all the orphaned Atlas Mic stand bases you have lying around. Just attack that mic stand to a full-size Atlas MC-10 mic stand base and you're in business with no extra purchase necessary.
My best guess is that is called a 'friction pad articulator'. The pole that rotates in the hinge is called the boom arm. The connection type on a lighting stand is called a spigot, and usually includes a 1/4" screw for lighting stands, 3/8" screw for camera tripods, and at the end of professional microphone stands is the thick 5/8" gauge screw. For some reason, lights, camera and sound equipment is not compatible with one another without screw size adapters. I have not, for example, found a tripod head that seats nicely over a lighting spigot connector, even though mounting a camera to a lighting stand is a no brainer.
The problem with my mic is that i have Rode NT usb ands original stsnd broke.. i have no idea what to do, also its diameter is bigger than any ordinary mic clip... What do i do??
For Number One, you can hang a jacket on the boom end and it should work equally well. Don't thank me, thank Archimedes 🙏 😁👍 Great Vid btw, just subscribed 👍
@@TrueSoundTV Sorry Buddy, was only joking. It's a great vid, love all the fixes. Watched another couple of vids straight after. Great channel and please forgive me. 😁👍
@@johnprince5931 ha ha no I meant my response as a joke, as in you could hang anything on the back of the boom including your wife’s purse, six pack of beer lol

hell yeah. i like to make my own tools and equipment, never thought i'd find another handy music producer lol
Being a now retired drummer I have one of those toms clamps you used in the second clip ,great idea!
#2 is absolutely essential for top and bottom snare mics on one stand, I hate going to studios where I have to use two separate stands. 👍
Hack 7 Is what I was waiting for.

OMG HIS SET-UP IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE

Great content and delivery! Keep up the great work.
A pipe cutter or tubing cutter can be used to trim down full height tripod stands into smaller guitar amp or drum mic stands.
Yes absolutely, you can definitely do that.
Adding the free weight to the desktop mic stand is a great tip! Thanks. (Mine likes to tip from the weight of the extended mic.)
Finaly Ive found the answer!
#2 with the drum dual clamp!..🤩🤩🤩..thank you so much!😊👍👍👍👍
Great ideas! Loving the helpful videos! Thank you so very much!
Thanks so much! Yeah these are some things that I have come up with over the year’s, got a few more too that I’ll do in another video!
@@TrueSoundTV looking forward to them.
These are brilliant. Thank you!!!
#1 looks a lot smarter than the bag of cables I gaffer taped to the boom to counterbalance my mic 👍🏻
These are great ideas!
Thank you thank you, and yeah i used to do the same thing ha ha pretty much just find something heavy to hang on the back of the boom
Creative, well done
If you oil the threads and metal washer of the boom "tightener-upper", you can get it a lot tighter. Nice fix though.
Hi Nice video. Thanks... I Have a question, how we remove that rubber or plastic part on the end of the boom arm for cleaning under_ thanks.
Hack #6 can also work with all the orphaned Atlas Mic stand bases you have lying around. Just attack that mic stand to a full-size Atlas MC-10 mic stand base and you're in business with no extra purchase necessary.
Mindblown!
Another awesome video!
Thanks for this. My solution to Hack #1 would be to buy a decent mike stand (K&M or similar), far less work! 😁
What is the hinge part called? I need it for a ceiling camera so I have friction control.

I enjoyed this video.
I’m learning to mic my drums for UA-cam views

Yeah I mean really you can hang anything on the back of the boom. This is just a little bit more of a permanent solution

Hell yeah 😁😁🍖
