A: Some Logitech webcams have 1/4''-20 threading on the bottom like the C922 Pro for example. If your Logitech streaming cam does, then you can use B&H # CAC1361 to mount it to the Auray MS-5230F mic stand.

Q: 4. What would I need to mount Rode Video Mic Pro on this boom stand?

A: The Rode mic has a cold or hot shoe mount. There are a lot of different mounts from B&H, Amazon and ebay that you can look at.

Q: 6. What is the total length at collapse position? I want a stand with arm that will fit inside my Pelican 1650 case for flights.

A: I contacted the manufacturer to confirm the collapsed length of the Auray MS-5220T Short Tripod Microphone Stand. The collapsed length of the stand without the boom arm attached is 17.7” and 24.5” with the boom arm attached.

Q: 7. Can the arm of this stand be removed so that I can hold it myself? I would like to be able to choose whether the arm is mounted on the stand or handheld, but I can't quite tell from the photos and description of this stand if that's possible. Thank you!

A: The boom arm on the Auray MS-5230T is removable.

Q: 8. Would this work well to hold a cardioid mic above seated interviewees?

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom will work for mounting a microphone above a seated interview subject, but the camera shot would be affected by the close proximity of the stand to the subject, due to the lack of length in the stand's boom arm. A more preferable method would be to mount a boom pole onto a C-stand/light stand with a "boom mate" style adapter such as the BoomMate BPH Boompole Holder and Grip Head Kit (BH #BOBPHV2K). This method will allow the stand to be placed much further from the subject (the length of the boom pole) and not have such an influence over the camera shot, so that a wider angle can be used if desired.

Q: 9. So with the main pole at max height of 31", and then the boom extended straight up at 33" max extension, you could get a mic 64" off the ground?

A: No. While the boom length is listed as 33 inches, when the boom is vertical (easily done), there is considerable overlap of the stand and the boom. Also, the top of the stand itself is more like 29 inches. With everything extended as high as possible, the top of the boom is just over 56 inches from the floor.

Q: 10. Can you detach the tripod base from the main rod that fits into it?

A: No, it is not possible to detach the tripod base of the MS-5230T from the stand's main rod.
