Thanks! Trying to pack in the quality content!

ya, that model I have, a Samson - MB1, even has a telescoping boom that give a little more range. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear that. I've put a chip in one of my best friends not long ago. I keep on spinning my chair around and knocking the stand in my smallish space. I've gotten better at collapsing the vertical on the stands and tucking them away now. I've also considered adding weight (but not size) to the base...but never got around to that.

You're welcome. I think you're referring to the two silver mics on the bar...those are a matched pair of Rode NT5 "pencil" mics. The pair with the bar, is designed for X-Y stereo mic (google it!) configurations that conveniently fit on a single mic stand. Setting an X-Y mic a few feet back is a decent way to record a guitar. Those mics are also often used for drum overheads. X-Y can work well for "large" instruments where there's no one particular spot you want to mic up.

I appreciate that!

You're welcome. I'm happy to help.

You're welcome!

it's a combination of two standard things. It's a round base stand PLUS a small boom arm. You'd probably buy them separately, but they are both easily searchable items.

That's just a straight stand like this: www.amazon.com/Gator-Frameworks-Microphone-Adjustment-GFW-MIC-1000/dp/B00CB7919Q?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 the mini-boom is separate, and it's usually called a "mini-boom".

Hard to know exactly what happened from your description. I don't know that mic stands are really "heavy duty" - I think they are just better quality and less likely to fall apart. I'd say if you can afford a TLM-102 mic, then get a high quality stand and you'll be OK?

That second stand is a mix and match of parts: the base and the small arm on top. I was more trying to show what I thought was a good useful configuration. For a simple base and a small arm that could assemble into my Stand 2, or for quality stands in general, I'd recommend Gator Frameworks, seems to be available on Amazon with a lots of models to choose from.

Good question, because there's no doubt stand vibrations / bumping can transfer to the mic. That's partly what shock mounts are supposed to address might be the solution if you're having that trouble? But to answer your question more directly, I have never noticed any difference due to the base design. But I record in a basement...so the floor under my stands never moves.

SM7b? It has a thread built right into it, so it's compatible with pretty much everything (in the US market). But it's a heavy mic...so if you want to boom it out, you might want to look for something that has notches to lock the connection between the boom and stand so it doesn't droop. Also because of the weight, you might need a heavier or wider base.

Not entirely clear what you want to do? But just guessing...if you want the most flexibility with a long reaching boom...you need a folding tri-stand or something with a wide base for stability.

I don't quite understand the question....please try again and I'll try to answer?

@@jasonpillingmusic I'm using maono AU-100 condenser clip on lavelier microphone. Is it good idea to use stand for that microphone. Because i want to try with pop filter.

​@@nagalakshmirayadi3556 Microphones get used in a wide variety of creative ways all the time, and there's no wrong answer that gets a good result. So, I'd say try it. But a pop filter is not much different than the foam covers, so you could also try a thicker foam wrapped on the mic. Some mics even come with different thicknesses of foam covers. The rule of thumb for a pop filter is if you can breath through it, it lets enough air through. But again I say, whatever gets you the result you want is the right answer. Good luck!

@@jasonpillingmusic Thanks 💙

and the third?😄

@@generale_ggmf check down the list for answer to similar questions. In general..."Gator"...but good brand depends where you live - see comments in the description.

I can't remember where I got it...but Gator makes good stuff. Try searching for this model number is similar: Gator Frameworks GFW-MIC-0020

Try looking for the brand "Gator" on Amazon, Sweetwater, etc. "Frameworks" is also a Gator brand that seems to be used with the mic stands and accessories. Gator has a pretty full line of quality stuff.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I'm not familiar with the mic, and actually I've never owned or used a desktop boom arm. Good luck!

@@jasonpillingmusic no worries, thanks for responding. Found one which holds more than 1kg . Cheers.

Hi...generally, any mic fits any stand. It's more about where you want to hold the mic, store the mic/stand when not in use. Except when you're mixing between global regions, and then the standard thread sizes might be different - but that's what the adapters are for. If you let me know how you want to use the mic, I might be able to help more.

Hi Cody. I bought those pieces separately, and I don't know that I've ever seen them as an actual package deal. It's a standard straight stand, and then I bought a small boom to attach on top. For the small boom...these are pretty cool because they can be short or long depending on your needs. Gator is a great brand....tuff stuff. Gator Frameworks Telescoping Boom Arm for Microphone Stands (GFW-MIC-0020)

That exact model is a Samson MB1. Gator makes something similar, model GFW-MIC-0821. You can probably find them on Amazon.

@@jasonpillingmusic thanks. Can i use it for tlm 102? I think the gator is pretty heavy.

@@behzadraeisi7597 mics and mic stands are generally compatible, so it's really more a question of where you need to hold the mic. If you want to extend the boom a lot horizontally, you may have problems with the stand tipping over.

@@jasonpillingmusic i meant I'm not sure if it can handle the wight of tlm102. (My Eng is not good) I'm usually sitting on the ground for playing guitar and singing (very lazy 😁). So i think a short stand will be better for me.

@@behzadraeisi7597 It would probably be a good choice for that, and a taller stand may not reach low enough. I use the short stand to reach up to a seated position to record guitars. Worst case, you can add a weight to the base if you have problems with tipping.

So that's a typical large diaphragm mic. It depends how much boom length you really need. Because if you need longer lengths, you're going to want a wide base like the tri-base to avoid it tipping over. I keep my similar mic on a short boom on top of a straight stand with a 9" round base...and it is a bit tippy and I have to be careful.

@@jasonpillingmusic Sounds good, thanks for the quick respond! What about an arm stand?

@@aspectpt9765 the multi-adjusting elbow ones that attach to the desk? I haven't tried them, but if you only wanted it for that one location, I can definitely see the appeal: being always ready and firmly attached.

@@jasonpillingmusic exactly!! I don’t have much space in my bedroom so I figured it would be better to have an arm stand

@Lin Saosin That is adding weight for sure. I haven't used that kind of filter (but hear they are useful in some rooms), but if I had to guess, I think I would use a wider tri-base for that. If you can balance the weight of the reflection booth and the mic above a tri-base, I think you'd be fairly stable.

I wouldn't know, I've never been caught. That was back when my eye was always drawn to the flip screen monitor 3" from the actual lens. I've learned to turn it off and reduce distraction from the lens now. Thanks!
