I left a straight boom mic stand at a friend's house that I bought for my Shure SM58, but he lost it (how do you lose a mic stand???)... anyway, I want to know.. what's the best budget mic stand for recording that will fit the Rode NT1... and is a shock mount necessary? (Do you have to hang those things, too, like I see on TV in studios, or can shock mounts be on stands??) I'm a newbie, somewhat.

So:

1. What mic stand for under or around $25 preferably.

2. Do I need a shock mount or not? What is the benefit of having one and what will happen if I don't have one?

3. Where do I buy the mic stand online?
