Can you guys suggest how to build this? For example:
- what boom stand to get
- how to build (or buy) a panel
- how to attach panel/case to boom so that angle is adjustable (swivel)
would something like the RAM cradle make it easier to make?
This is great idea, iVan, and I'd love to get this setup myself (for bed reading), but I need a little more guidance, being a DIY novice =).
Don't forget to add a counterweight. The one I put is 5pounds. The stand won't stay up without it.Anybody know how to find out how much weight boom stands can support? I'm trying to decide which one to buy online. A couple popular, cheap ones are:
- bhphotovideo.com/c/product/290489-REG/Ultimate_Support_15159_MC_40_Microphone_Boom_Stand.html#specifications
- amazon.com/Stage-Stands-7701B-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58]Amazon.com: On Stage Stands 7701B Tripod Boom Microphone Stand: Musical Instruments
However, I have no idea how much weight they can support. The ipad itself is 1.5lb and the mount should add another 1.5 pounds, totaling 3lb. Most mics are less than that (about 2lb, I think), so it's hard to judge from reviews.
having some seriously wicked thoughts regarding an ipad, a metal boom arm and, a 10lb weight...... Dangling from the other end of the boom....
Options:
Hit the boom = ipad top
add weight = ipad catapult (looking for style points not just distance)
remove weight = ipad guillotine (autocorrect ty) okay maybe not but it's not fun thinking about it slowly dropping.
