1. Heres what i used to make my own stand:
Coathanger, 2 roller skate wheels, 3 screws, ballpoint pen shaft, one of those little yellow rubber bullets fron the 80's, 2 aligator clips, and a telescoping antenna
2. As you can see, i turned one roller skate upside down, screwed the other on top, and wedged the pen shaft down in there.
The top of the stand consists of about a 10" long piece of the coathanger, with a hole thhrough the yellow rubber bullet(painted black), and the aligator clips glued on the end, leaving about 11 and a half inches between the mics.
This probly isnt the best stand ever, but it worked well when i tried it out in a crowded club, sitting on a table, extended out to about 20 - 25", table got bumped quite a few times, it never moved. I came out with a pretty good recording in a semi-drunken environment.
Heres a samples: (VHS or Beta)
