Microphones Telescoping Mounted Mic Stand

[dvsDave]

So, I've been working on a project to build my own 8U toolbox / roadcase and I've wanted to be able to add a special feature to the case. I want to have a mic stand mounted at the top of the case that telescopes out of the case in at least 2 sections (so it's now triple the height of the box itself).

Anybody know of an existing product that does something like this? I want to have my roadcase beside my X32 on Sunday mornings and I want to be able to mount my RTA mic on the stand.

How about some clips to hold a telescoping stand when stowed and a threaded socket on top that you can screw said stand into? Just discard the weighted base, or a flanged mount and a telescoping boom.

I like it and maybe find a way to flush mount a 5/8 threaded post on the top of the case? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TMO8B

I'm not sure how high you want the total thing to end up, but you probably want your Reference Mic to sit at head height, if a little higher. I do a similar thing on touring RF Racks for quick and dirty antenna positions -- however usually my racks float in a shock mount case, so I cut a little bit out of the foam and I flush mount an Atlas AD-12 5/8" flange, and throw an OnStage QK2B Quick Release adapter on to it. In the lid of the rack I travel a 10" Mic Stand Extender attached to a regular microphone stand boom arm.

It sounds clunkier than it is, but saves a few minutes every day I have to use it, plus I know all the bits I need are right there and all on a quick release.
