Members davd_indigo Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 I want to buy a Tascam portastudio for recording doing things like sketching arrangements. Thinkgs like cobbling together two or three percussion parts and maybe playing a bass part on piano to play against, etc. I have an Olympic LS100 that it use for recording piano. I have it mounted on a mic boom stand with this: http://www.amazon.com/CM01-Camera-Digital-Recorder-Adapter/dp/B001GWCC4I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406719436&sr=8-1&keywords=mic+stand+camera+mount I'm thinking that the Tascam DP-008EX may be too big for this mounting gizmo. Tascam has photos of a DP-008EX tripod mount. Does anyone know what is used in the photos in the link? http://tascam.com/product/dp-008ex/applications/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 Heres some options. You would have to determine if these units can be safely screwed into the bottom or if something like Velcro might suffice depending on the units weight. http://www.xlprosystems.com/store/mic-stand-adapter-for-lcd-tft-screen-mount-a-screen-on-your-microphone-stand This page has maybe a hundred different adaptors you can link to. https://www.google.com/search?q=mic+stand+adaptors&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ogTZU-zmKaHG8QGFpoF4&ved=0CEoQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=871#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=kzbhPsV9ZFPSJM%253A%3B8fJ3jTuDohoe5M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.yamahaproaudio.com%252Fcommon_pa%252Fimages%252Fphotolibrary%252Fpa_system%252Fphotolibrary_pasystem_stargepas300_03.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.yamahaproaudio.com%252Fglobal%252Fen%252Fproducts%252Fpasystems%252Fstagepas300%252Fphotos.jsp%3B1420%3B2515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The TASCAM you're looking at apparently has a tripod mount built-in on the bottom; you can get tripods from Amazon, or even Radio Shack that you can mount the unit on. Any standard camera style tripod should work. "The DP-008EX comes with two condenser microphones built directly in the front of the unit so you can record vocals or acoustic guitar anytime without the need for extra equipment or setup time. TASCAM held many evaluation tests to secure the best sounding microphones and structures. Modeled after the top-selling DR Series microphones, you can be assured you're receiving top-quality. Moreover the DP-008EX was designed with a tripod mount for versatile set-up and placement." Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davd_indigo Posted July 30, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 I was thinking of something like the link below. But my concern specifically is (what I believe is called) the head. I'm thinking that a large and strong enough head is necessary. This unit doesn't weigh much - about 2 pounds, but is 11.8 x 6.8 x 4 inches. I guess I'm concerned that it might flop around if the head isn't large enough. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GMWNY8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2TPGWUIH67OT4&coliid=I1WEJNIXC3603K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monstermaker Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have the same model hooked to my bedroom keyboard and it sits on a stool. Works for me anyway. Great unit for collecting ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philboking Posted July 31, 2014 Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 Cymbal stands also work pretty well for this. They have the same threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
