I am trying to modify a mic mount. You know the mic holder that fits an top of a mic stand.
Does anybody know the the thread type? Metric or standard and also the size?

5/8"-27 I think is the standard. Some mic stands come with a smaller thread that I believe is the same as a camera mount.

- 5/8″ 27 turns per inch (tpi) Unified Special thread (UNS, USA and the rest of the world)
- 1/4″ BSW (not common in the USA, used in the rest of the world)
- 3/8″ BSW (not common in the USA, used in the rest of the world)

Thank you I get a bolt and see how it works!

Some of them come with an insert that will reduce the size down. I have a couple of stands that have different size threads so need the adapter for one and not the others.

Thanks I will check this out and see if Long and Mquaid can help.
