   I’m using this to attach a cell phone adapter to a boom microphone tripod. That means this adapter is horizontal and most of the mass is about 4 inches from the ball joint part of this adapter, creating quite a bit of torque on that lock screw. It has held for weeks without even minor slipping. However, if I create rotational torque by turning the phone adapter to one side, the entire adapter will rotate where it’s screwed onto the mike stand if you don’t use thread locking compound or Teflon tape, even with the mic’s star locking ring. Where it threads onto the mic stand is not inherently self-locking (like with a set screw or nylon thread inserts). I used thread locking compound, and now the mic stand’s boom turns before this thing does. It’d be interesting to see if I can even get it off.Keeping the mic stand itself from tipping over because of all the weight that far out, on the other hand, took an entirely different set of products.But this adapter functions extremely well. The ball lock resists all motion very, very well. Where it threads onto the mic stand does not resist rotational torque in the loosening direction, even with the mic stand’s star shaped locking ring down tight, without thread locking compound or teflon tape. I have no doubt that it can easily handle the weight and will be purchasing more for other projects. It’s cheap, effective, and adaptable.For the manufacturer: a thread setscrew or nylon thread inserts would be a welcome addition to this product so that it’s capable of resisting rotational torque where it attaches to the microphone stand.

   Initially I was going to purchase a totally whole new stand to mount my Panasonic VDR-M70 Camcorder and Panasonic LX5 digital camera. But then I thought about it for a few minutes that my On-Stage MS9701TB microphone stand has threads on it so I could possibly mount my camcorder and LX5 on it. I took a look at the threads and it was impossible to mount it because the threads were too large. So I was thinking someone must have at least had the genius idea of creating a mount adapter for mounting digital camcorders and digital cameras. I went searching and then I found the CM01 On-Stage Adapter.Unlike the other reviewers I did not have any flaking or burrs in the u-cutouts. My product I received did not look anything like the stock picture. It is possible that the manufacturer’s workmanship quality has been improved or changed. But I did not experience any defects like other reviewers did. Using this adapter with an On-Stage MS9701TB stand you can practically shoot at plenty of angles and height adjusting the adapter and the microphone stand. Pretty much think of half a sphere that’s how much movement/rotation you will get. The 180 tilts (u-cutouts) are useful for shooting 16:9 shots in portrait insead of landscape.I did not have anything heavier than 1 lb to mount so I couldn’t test beyond that weight but I’m sure it could handle 6 lbs if I had a DSLR camera weighing that much. I feel that the costs of about $7.00 for this adapter is well worth it instead of spending about $40.00 for an extra stand that can be only used for camcorders and digital cameras to only use more storage space in the home.In conclusion, this is a great little device and I’m glad someone made it. Otherwise I might have ended up with some flimsy tripod stand designed specifically for camcorders and digital cameras.–PRO’s–Worked as advertisedCan hold up to 6lbs (not real world tested)Saved about $40 (if you already own a mic stand)Allows for 360 degree tilt/pan & 180 degree tilt (and a lot more angles if you own On-Stage MS9701TB stand)–CON’s–None
