Even the mic clip that came with the NTG-3 has a 1/2" threaded female to take a standard mic stand.

So I'm looking for a 1/2" female to a 3/8" male I guess. Alan do you have a link to a mic stand with 3/8" male on the end?

1/2" threads are very rare and were mostly used by Neumann.

The are also used on large stands (EG: K&M) where long heavy booms are mounted.

The standard for mic threads is 3/8" Whitworth thread (except in the USA where they use a 5/8" thread with fine threads).

Chad,

3/8", really? Not 5/8"?

Which ones?

Actually Ty I think it's 5/8 for the mic stand, and 3/8 for the boom screw. Right?


{{{{UPDATE}}}}}} Maybe it's more like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=232831&is=REG

Chad, as mentioned I don't think your mic stands are 1/2" .. if you bought them locally they're 5/8" The Blimp handle is 3/8" so you need this little jigger.

AKG | 3/8" Male to 5/8" Female Thread | KM216BLACK

Cheers.

Thanks Alan. That looks like the ticket.

Just ordered my Rode NTG-3 today from Zzounds. Got an amazing low price on it. They really do beat competitor's prices with no questions asked. If I told you the price I got it for you'd hate me. Its brand new and should be here by Wednesday or Thursday the latest. Can't wait to get it. Can't wait to get my Blimp either. Yay!!!!
