Random subject, I know!

I'm sure someone on SN will be able to figure out what I need and help me here.

Basically, I need a nice long, high microphone boom arm and stand and I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what stands, arms, clips, adaptors, etc I require. I have a Takstar SGC-598 shotgun mic and I want to record studio content with the mic placed just above my head out of shot. Obviously the stand and boom arm need to be out of shot too. Ideally, I need some decent height/length, as I'll probably want to so some work where you can see all/most of my body in the frame.

I have poured through eBay and Amazon and can't figure out all the bits I need to pull this off. Nobody seems to do a catch all kit.

Also, I want this to be cheap as hell... like, I really couldn't car about build quality as long as it holds the mic in situ. The budget has already been blown on lighting and camera

If a friendly SN'er could link me to a cheap kit or all the individual bits and bobs I need this would be appreciated.

go too cheap and the feckin thing will bend. At worst, the mic will fall out of the holding - and tbh, the mic is more expensive than the pole. Here's a "cheap" place, but be mindful of "too cheap could cost"....

If your not going to be moving around could you just hang it from a hook?Worth a try & very cheap.
