Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What size is screw the thread on the tip of the stand?

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom features a standard 5/8"-27 thread for mounting microphones and other compatible devices.

Q: 2. how much weight can it support ?would like to use a wescott strobe with it

A: The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom will not work to support the weight of a Westcott Strobe Light. This stand is intended for use with lighter weight microphones and you will want to use a tripod stand with legs that are configured more like those on a camera-style tripod, not legs that lay flat against the floor.

Q: 3. 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: 4. How tall is the mic stand itself, or how hight does it extend without the boom arm?

A: The base of the Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand reaches a height of up to 63 inches. The telescoping boom arm can extend up to 33.9". Together these components allow the MS-5230T to reach a total height of almost 96 inches when the arm is oriented directly upwards.

Q: 5. Does this work well with a Rode Pod Mic? Or too heavy?

A: Yes, the Rode PodMic can be mounted on the Auray MS-5230T tripod mic stand. You may want to use sand bags on the base of the stand to prevent any movement. If you want a stand with a heavier base, the K&M 21070 Tripod Microphone Stand with 32" Boom - Black (B&H # KM21070) is a good option.

Q: 6. Would this stand be suitable for a shotgun mic (like the Rode NTG2)? I want to use it for interviews.

A: I believe so, it's possible you may need a different clamp than the one that comes with it. Note that although it is a telescoping boom, you still need to balance the weight, so make sure the distance is sufficient.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Will this mount work with a pistol grip with a 3/8"-16 threading?

A: You will need this 5/8'' to 3/8'' adapter to make this stand work with your pistol grip, B&H # ONMA100.

Q: 9. how long is it collapsed?

A: About 33 collapsed.

Q: 10. What size Threading Adapter do I need?

A: It really depends on what device you are trying to connect. The standard threading is 5/8 -27.
