Overhead stand hardware (4038)

[losthighway]

I'm looking for hardware I've seen in people's studio shots that would allow a Coles 4038 capsule to be positioned perpendicular to the floor i.e. straight down. I can get close with some high right angles on my stands but working way harder than some nice setups I've seen with the pair extending downward from the stands- more flexibility for angles.

I've puttered around the net and I'm thinking what I'm looking for isn't specifically Coles.

what about something like this on an existing stand?

not sure if I understood exactly what you are looking for

That might be perfect.

I'll see if I can find a picture.

there are other variations on that like -- https://smile.amazon.com/Gator-Framewor ... B07MJM25TC

otherwise, these are a bit pricey now (about 2x compared to when I bought mine 10 years ago) but they are pretty nice for positioning overhead mics on drums. I use a pair of these with a pair of AKG 414b-ULS (or whatever else I try).... the mini-boom off the main boom is about 6" long.

EDIT: unfortunately they seem to be out of these - I tried to order another one today and they replied that all they had left were defective and then cancelled/refunded my order... oh well.


I have one of thee too - and I was looking for a second and finally found them on Walmart.com of all places (got the last one through Amazon several years ago). I think I heard about these here on this board. They are pretty cool.

I got one of these. Could do better for sure, but it helps.

That Walmart one looks pretty usable. Get a die and put threads on the other end, and you'd really have something even better.

I've got a couple variants of the Gator/OnStage add on arms. I've also got a couple of the cheapo stereo t-baradapters...between them and a couple C stands, I can fly stereo mics pretty solidly.

Latch Lake make a really fancy version of an add on arm, called the Xtraboom,

And the clamp of the Latch Lake looks like a lightweight version of what film lighting folks call a "double grip head." Good ones are nearly indestructible, and pop up on ebay regularly.

I have 6 or 8 of these around the studio. They are super helpful to have around.

Here’s another variation without the arm/extension:

I’ve got one that seems to work well.

Yes, those posi-lock things are good.
