Rode NT-USB stand broke off

[Noah0302]

So yesterday my microphone stand broke off and I tried fixing it with different glues but it just would not hold for more than a couple of minutes.

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement? They are all sold out on amazon and Ebay sadly.

Or at least how I can fix it for good?

have you tried an epoxy or something of that nature, it will take time to cure but it should hold

So far I tried super glue as well as hot glue with additonal plastic pieces for reinforcement, I also let it cure in the fridge.

 

I don't have epoxy at home sadly, I'll aks around if someone has it since it will be pretty wasted if I buy it just for that and never use it again.

 

Thanks for the reply, If I get my hands on some I'll try it out.

im not sure that curing in the fridge is your best idea either, adhesive and cold dont always mix very well and you might end up with a weak and brittle bond

I did not know that!

If I don't find any epoxy I'll do it again without the fridge.

Epoxy is really not that expensive, you could just buy it.

It probably wont fit since the NT-USBs thread is inverted from the yeti, I tried if you can take it apart to reveal a normal thread but I was not so confident that this is even possible to begin with. I did not want to break it further than it already is

But I will try it! A friend has a Yeti so I'll look if it will fit. Thanks for the idea.

I tried super and hot glue again and let it cure for longer but it still only held for like 30 mins max.

I really don't want it to look that scuffed, so zip ties will be my last resort

There's arms made for NT-USB specifically, not sure about the price of them though, but could be another option

So I just saw that the replacement mounts are back in stock.

Since nothing worked long term I just ordered one for 15€.

 

Thanks for all the replies!
