How do I buy mic stands online without knowing if they'll fit the little holder thing that came with my mic?

[Ash_Kechummm]

Okay so this is a very stupid question.

I bought a pair of behringer c4s as a pair of do-it-all mics for myself (I had planned to go and sample a bunch of instruments during the summer holidays last year when I bought it in spring last year, but then the pandemic happened and I never did that).

 

They came with a nice case and a plastic thing that comes between the mic and the stand (I don't know what it's called). I wanted to buy a stand for a long time, but since everything's under lockdown all the time, I can't go to a shop and make sure my mics fit on whatever stand I wanna buy, since no shops are open. 

 

So if I wanna buy a stand online, how do I make sure my mics fit on it?

If it has a screw-thread, then I believe those are reasonably standard, so if you buy a mic stand which accepts screw-threads of the same size it will work.

That reminds me: none of the stands I could find online had screw threads, while the mic holder things (I still don't know their name) have screw threading. The reason I asked the original question (apart from the problem I just stated) is that I found out online that there are multiple sized for this screw-threading with no easy way for me to measure it, and for some reason, no mic manufacturer lists this along with other specifications.

is this it?

 

i cant see the bottom of the mic itself so i cant tell what's the mount there, but judging from the bar it seems to be the normal stuffs

 

 

yours seems to be 1/4 judging from the photo, while the bar is probably 5/8"

Thank you so much! Now I just have to find a stand with 1/4" threading (literally every stand I saw on the first two pages of Amazon had no threading)

it might be a 3/8 for the middle of the bar, you can tell easily if you have it on hand

I do have it on hand, but I don't really know what fhe number actually means (what is 5/8" long? Or wide? What dimension are we talking about? Can I measure it with a ruler? And a million other questions I can't really find an answer to).

Thanks! Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow (it's 12 AM right now and I should be completing my sleep instead of obsessing over stuff I don't even have yet)

It's 5/8 in the middle with a pre-installed 3/8 adapter.
Source : I have two C2 stereosets with the same bar.

OP there are basically only two mic sizes and I guarantee that every mic stand you were looking at is threaded once you remove the mic clip. It's not a big deal, you mic came with the adapter.
