Drooping Mic Stands?

[Owen]

Buy yourself some of these. It is the same thread on the bolt - this accross multiple makes and ages. I did 10 mic stands at church this morning. Everything is now super easy. Obv the stands have not been used properly, but then, as soon as any member of the public get their hands on mic stands, we know that boom arm tightening doobrie is the first thing to go if they are not dog bone tighteners. £2.55 each and they now support themselves like those pricier K&Ms that I should have bought in the first place. Happy days.

You cannot go wrong with K&M

That is the truth. But I had bought the slightly cheaper K&M without the dog bone tightening bit. And (after many years) that bit gave up. We could not tighten them enough. But with the new part, they are functionally like new again.

I find it helps to add a washer before fitting the dog bone tightener.
