Power comes from a 9 volt battery or 48 volt phantom power.
Lastly there is a manual, a sticker and the warranty card which is a generous ten years from the date of purchase.īack to the pouch and microphone, this is an end addressed microphone with a half inch capsule. In a poly bag there is a blue plastic serrated spacer. A brass threaded section is in the base of this.Ī thread size reducer is included for mounting on smaller threaded stands. We also have a plastic clip which shows the girth of the mic. Then there is a foam windstopper though in reality these are useless outdoors. Which as you lift it out feels superbly made and heavy duty. In the box is a pouch which contains the microphone. The Rode M3 comes in a sturdy box with photos and usual blurb of features etc and is surprisingly large. Rode M3 mics showing them with and without the deadcat. The dual microphone bar is supposedly able to take three microphones at a time, however this is a little short for that and ok with two Rode M3s mounted. Microphone specific stands are cheaper but not as flexible with the height range and most will not tuck into the side straps and bottle net on a standard backpack. The whole thing feels very well made as is the way with Manfrotto probably the most useful stand a sound recordist can own.

In the woods though or on uneven ground this will be a little higher maybe… So the full height possible is two metres. Min height with the legs flat on the floor is around eighteen inches. There are three further thumb tabs for adjusting the three sections. The legs are adjusted and locked with a pasting thumb tab and the feet have rubber grips to stop sliding. There is also a bayonet fitting for other photography related accessories for tilting soft boxes and umbrellas for example. On the top there is a small cap covering one set of threads on the brass top, this first piece unscrews to reveal a larger threaded section. Out of the box the stand is wrapped in a pretty heavy weight poly bag. The Manfrotto 5001B stand comes in a sturdy brown box so no glossy frills associated with consumer and prosumer kit and I guess this keeps production costs down.
The 5001B Nano Black Stand is a small lightweight stand that is between 48 and 190CM! On top of this is a flat bar dual microphone mount on to which I am mounting two Rode M3 condenser microphones.Ĭonnecting these to the recorder with a pair of 6m XLR cables will allow me to keep a distance so I don’t disturb birds in the trees etc and I can remain hidden but still manage the recorder levels and controls. When walking any distance to a location be it woodland or another town keeping things compact saves time and your poor old long suffering back!Īs a photographer I know about lighting stands and of the different shapes and sizes, however I was reminded by New Zealand sound recordist Tim Prebble about a very useful stand from Manfrotto. Sometimes useful field recording equipment comes from other creative areas.
