Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the thread size? What is the depth of of the female thread?

A: The only female thread on this item is that of the screw-down mechanism (thumb screw) mentioned in the overview and clearly pictured. Those threads are M6x1.0 and about 17mm deep. They extend to the large central hole at the center of the cylinder but the end of the thumb screw does not bear directly against the boom arm. It instead bears against a plastic liner pressed into that central hole which prevents scratching the finish of the boom arm.

Q: 2. Can this be used to mount a small camera? What's the weight capacity of this arm?

A: The arm would be used with microphones less than 2 lbs in weight. Be aware that the threading is 5/8"-27. Use this adapter: WindTech M19 5/8"-27 Female to 1/4"-20 Male Adapter BH #WIM8219: https://bhpho.to/2w6kEs5
