The Gravity Stands MS QC 1 B Quick Coupler for Microphone Clips and Boom Arms is a very useful tool when working with microphones and mic stands on stage or in the studio. Different microphones have different sizes and use different mic clips. Attach the MS QC 1 B to your mic clips and quickly swap mics and their associated clips.

Use the 5/8"-27 thread to securely mount the bottom part of the MS QC 1 B on your microphone stand and use the 3/8"-16 thread (or included 5/8"-27 adapter) to mount the top part on the microphone clip. Snap the two parts together to securely mount the mic in its mic clip on the stand. Just pull the coupler sleeve back to quickly detach the mic from the stand, while keeping the mic in its clip.

Q: 8. 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: 9. 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: 10. Can this bag be used for an On-Stage Model MS9701 EuroBoom stand?

A: The width of the Gravity bag is 39.9" which seems like it would be too small for the On-Stage MS9701 when it's folded up since the minimum stand height is 36" and the length of the legs would make it too long to fit inside the Gravity bag. The stand will fit in the Auray Speaker Stand Bag 51" Interior (B&H # AUSB52SSB).
