Trew Audio just sent me a pair of Invision shock mounts. They are European
thread (3/8", 16 thread, IIRC).

I can find no choice of 5/8" vs 3/8" mount selections on the Rycote site.
Do they not sell a 5/8 27 thread version?

Anyone know where I can find adapters for a 3/8" mount to a 5/8" stand (I
have pocketfulls the other way 'round) in Atlanta on short notice?

I make one that has a thumbscrew quick release also works on C-Stands and
5/8 in. Lighting stands to adapt them as Mic Stands.
Ask Location Sound Corp for the GoodSound Microphone C-Stand Adaptor.

If you want a threaded one check out B&H camera

Thanks Glen, but...

That's the other way round, but I see the correct one, too. The problem
here is the $8.71 shipping for a $3 part.

Chris Balance emailed me the name of a few shops to try here in Atlanta.

You might add the fact that the Invision mount is 3/8 only with no adapter
to the item specs on your web page. If I'd known, I would have bought the
adapters at the same time.

Good idea. The description revision with a link to the adapter will be
added by the end of today. Also, the adapter will be added to the
"Microphone Accessories" category.

Why doesn't Rycote just make a US version?

Because in the US most people use Rycote shock mounts on Fishpoles or Fisher
Booms which all have 3/8" 16tpi spuds on them.
Very few people would need to mount a shockmount and Windscreen on a
stationary Mic Stand.

For most people on this group, true. However, Rycote has more in mind
for the Invision series than just film/video production boompole use.
I understand they are considering a 5/8" stand adapter of their own.

I changed the subject name because the 3/8" thread for boompole use is
standard throughout the world, and certainly not limited to Europe.

And the Rycote site itself specifically states that this particular mount
is for studio use as well as boompole. There is even a series "not
suitable for boompole use."
