Cup holder mic stand

Recommended Posts

I posted this on the FB page, but wanted to share here with more photos. It dawned on me the other day that a cup holder is designed to work with...cups, or rather travel mugs with lids! I removed the lid from my favorite mug—Oxo metal one—and found that a K&M table stand, minus rubber feet, fits snugly inside. Tada! Add an ankle wrap or similar to tuck the rig into the cup holder and you now can attach a shock mount or dual mic bar and hypercardiods in a variety of ways. The tabletop stand extends nicely so that you can sneak the mic as high as you like and still be out of frame on a back seat shot angled at one front seat. 1d09bea82553046c5dfd756e8a79d960.jpg217ea76efcd214d5d47f766bd020367b.jpg4a5bacf208c056f73102a3bf5e83ba4d.jpg40186ec4f614a03e15c68a019ae77f76.jpg391e649b2f90c481a881743b4f9d4dd6.jpg7504d36d389c5f37989a990ebcac6b24.jpg34bfd83049300d564a17912a7faa11d6.jpg527c6f6b7da5c5acaa8bbe46f802ac95.jpgdefaa3f53bd0636ddb0178c487fff798.jpg

Great idea aff, I'm defiantly going to try that when I need to mic from below. I have been taping the mics to a Nite-Ize flex rods.

Do you have the model number for that K&M stand? Can't yet find it in their catalogue and looks to be a really nice compact (and hopefully reasonably light?) stand for travelling.

Cheers, Jez

Hi Jez,

It's the K&M 23150 Tabletop

14.46 oz (0.41kg)
