Threading Adapter for Meteor mic

[Jacm]

  I just ordered a Samson meteor mic and I want to use it on a boom arm. I read in an earlier post that you need a threading adapter to achieve this. I looked on amazon and quickly discovered that I have no idea what I am dealing with. Does anyone know a threading adapter that will work for this. If there is a easier way that would be great too.

The Samson Meteor uses standard 5/8-27 threading and I have put it on some OnStage boom stands with no problem. What boom arm do you want to use it with and what is its threading?

Maybe something like this.

Or if there is something else you would recommend.

I have not personally used Neewer products, but Neewer is pervasive in many budget markets and their scissor arms' reviews seem better than the reviews for the item you linked. Therefore, I suggest a Neewer arm unless you have the budget for a Rode PSA1. 

 

In general, you will not need a threading adapter for the Samson Meteor and the vast majority of microphone mounts, especially the ones I mentioned. Even  mounts that use nonstandard 3/8 threads often come with an adapter already (or they'll be 5/8 and come with a 3/8 adapter).
