You don't need an expensive tripod and head combination to hold the microph=
ones. A second-hand photographic lighting stand will do the trick, and it h=
as the advantage that it should be threaded for a =E2=85=9C" screw thread, =
as used by Rycote. I got a Manfrotto stand for less than =C2=A325-00.=0D

Hi all,=0D
=0D
thanks for the recent good advice, leading to my purchasing a pair of MKH 8=

I've had lots of good suggestions, the easiest route would be to throw each=
 mic into one of these:=0D

The WS 10 being the less expensive of the two, and more doable for me right=
 now.=0D

I am looking to use these to capture urban/rural ambiences. Would just putt=
ing these on a stereo bar about 30cm apart or so yield good results? Do I n=
eed to look into a Jecklin Disc or similar? Or will just spacing them on a =
bar do the trick?=0D
=0D

I've also heard from some people who have used this with their 8020s:=0D

I am not opposed to going at least partially DIY, and cobbling something to=
gether from different parts, so long as it works really well.=0D
=0D
=0D
I could also use some suggestions on a good stand or tripod for supporting =
the stereo bar. The stereo bar will be holding the 2 8020s and an MKH 30/40=
 MS combo in a  Rycote windshield.=0D

Thanks in advance, and please point me to existing threads if there are som=
e that cover this specifically.=0D
