Hi Dan
Any specific recommendations? What qualities must we look for when choosing=
? While I was looking at the expensive carbon fibre tripod, it claimed to b=
e very still and rigid, and absorb vibration etc. Are these things essentia=
l for mic stands? Would the some cheaper camera tripods give trouble in thi=
s respect, creating noise? I'm also keen to know about this in terms of wha=
t could be home-made too.
I'm also wondering if it would be reasonable to just simply strap my pair o=
f AT3032 to the sides of a head-width-sized tree. Is this a reasonable solu=
tion, for getting realistic stereo? Or would there be problems of sound tra=
nsmission from the top of the tree?
This bring in another question - how important are the shock mounts? I see =
that Curt's stereo rigs don't use shock mounts. Can we simply do without th=
em?
