I have clips for my microphones. I'm proposing to attach the clips to some "pipe" clamps used for hanging lights and fixtures. Basically epoxy the clips onto some 1/2" all thread and screw the all thread into the clamps. I figure if it can hold a lighting instrument, it can bear the weight of a microphone.
That way I can also point the microphone in the appropriate direction without having to use any of the more expensive mounting hardware. I also don't have to order anything. If y'all tell me this is a bad idea - then so be it. I'll try plan B (or C). The clips secure the microphones quite nicely - so I'm not worried about the microphone coming loose from the clips.
I was just planning on using zip ties to secure the cable along the length of the batten. Hopefully this is a "reasonable" idea. I think wrapping the XLR cable around the steel pipe is probably not a good idea. Again, if there is a better alternative, please advise.
