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.

 

Sounds like a lot of agro for bedroom movies......

 

Hahaha Need to get those groans

 

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.
