Hi,
I use ball mount mic stand adapters often (like this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/co...ap=y&m=Y&c3api=1876,92051677562,&A=details&Q= )
They are great but sometimes make the stand system more liable to fall. I am wondering if there are alternatives that offer similar functions but reduce the liability to fall. There are two types of things i have in mind:
1. A mic stand adapter which could provide a swivel function, but not a full ball (and not provide the same full range of motion as a ball adapter), so that it can only swivel on one axis (360* or less). I can imagine this working well.
2. A mic stand adapter which allows you to position a microphone at a set degree, ie it allows you to position it at 90 degrees down or up. This again would remove alot of the range of motion of a ball mount, but it would make it more secure. (ive found this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/co...&m=Y&c3api=1876,91438732682,&is=REG&A=details which seems pretty good actually, but wondering if there is anything that is smaller) I have thought about taping the ball mount adapter, so i can try this if theres not premade solutions, but not sure if that will work.
Do either of these exist?
Id also be glad to hear if you know of any other types of alternatives to ball mounts that have some benefits or good use cases.
Thanks!
