Hi there,

Here is the specific clamp I purchased, but any clamp with a 1/4-20 should work to mount to the MixPre-6:

For the stand in the article, I am using the GoPro Fusion tripod, with a GoPro to 1/4-20 adapter that I share between my Rycote INV-7 and the GoPro Fusion. However, any compact mic stand should work the same, I just wanted one that I could easily swap out with the GoPro.

Thanks, Like. Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the SmartLav+ has become an easy -bring everywhere solution, simply because it plugs right into the iPhone and gets a pretty clean recording of hard effects. For ambiences, I try to either have my Tascam DR100mkii or Ambeo VR + MixPre-6 with me when I am planning to record somewhere I am traveling that day. Another newcomer to the scene is the Lectrosonics SPDR. I am currently demoing and have been really impressed! That plus two DPA 4060 lavs make for a super compact two channel solution. All that being said, sometimes you just use what you have. If I hear something cool happening in the moment, I am one to pull out my iPhone and just start recording with the internal mic if that is all I have.

I too like to pack lightly as possible. Are there any things that you’ve found to be particularly multifunctional when traveling? For instance, the Rode Lav was a smart choice for the Zip-Line but do you always carry that with you? I love the little accessories that serve various purposes!
