Universal Microphone Stand

Great microphone stand!

This is a simple microphone stand.

I already had an adapter I was using, but it did not expand enough for my needs. The Auray IPU-108 Universal Tablet Stand Adapter is just what I needed to hold my iPad for presentations and performances. The ability to attach the adapter to the side of a music stand, or screw it in at the top is an excellent feature. Now I can use a microphone and an iPad with the same stand. BRAVO!!!

For an inexpensive microphone stand, it seems to be solid.

Adapter worked fine with my Canon Vixia HF M30 to let me use an external microphone that has a universal cold shoe. Although the adapter is mainly made of plastic, it seems sturdy and well made, I am very satisfied.

We took this microphone out to the middle of noisy Times Square shortly after purchasing it, and it did not disappoint. We recorded ENG-style interviews directly into a Panasonic HPX-170, and the sound was very clear. We used the microphone both mounted to the camera in a Pearstone DUSM-1 Universal Shock Mount and with someone simple holding it off camera. It worked well in both situations. We also had the interviewer wear a wireless lav, but in most cases we wound up using the shotgun audio for both him and the interviewees. Of note, I purchased this microphone in a kit that included the Pearstone DUSM-1 Universal Shock Mount and Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to Angled XLR F Microphone Cable - 1.5' after reading that the mount that comes with the microphone leaves something to be desired, and I haven't yet tried the mount that comes with the microphone. The kit is a very reasonable way to use this microphone effectively without the compounded expenses that add up when purchasing the accessories separately.

The microphone is my universal instrument, whether i have to record vocals or ambience. Outstanding quality and good price !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Universal Tablet Stand is so helpful and it makes recording so much easier and convient. It has a 360 degree rotatable base and it tilts for an optimum viewing angle.

This is my third Kupo stand and probably my favorite. My other two are their 12.5' Universal stands. Those are great but a bit big and bulky. A pair of them would work perfect with a crossbar for backdrop or for permanent studio stands. This baby kit stand is far more portable and with the adjustable third leg can be used on uneven terrain. It's perfect for a 36+ soft box or large beauty dish and 9.5' is plenty tall for most applications. They are extremely well built.

If there is anything to attach to Spider Pro keyboard stand, the 18873 Universal Holder would be the one. Use it to screw on an iPad holder, music sheets holder and anything with a microphone-type thread. I'm going to use it to attach a tablet holder with music sheets. It's sold separately though.
