On-Stage Stands releases the CM01 Video Camera/ Digital Recorder adapter. You can attach it to any 5/8″ 27-threaded microphone stand to support a video camera or digital recorder (Marantz PMD620, Zoom H2, H4 and the Edirol R09) with standard 1/4″ threaded female inserts. It also holds document cameras
The adapter’s ball-head allows for independent pan and tilt with 360-degree pan movement and 180-degree tilt. It also features an over-sized locking knob, neoprene rubber mount platform and nickel-plated construction. The CM01 supports up to 6 lbs. and lists for $20.00.
I bought this about a week ago, and let me tell you, it is a great little invention. Now a can mount my video camera almost anywhere using my mic stand with boom arm. No need to spend 200 dollars on a camera tripod. The ball joint is also very easy to use and holds secure.
