Review on CM01 Camera Digital Recorder Adapter by Lee Wilson

Fits snugly and snugly in standard wide threaded mic stands. If you have smaller "screw" ends on your mic stand, you can buy a small threaded adapter at any music store for practically no cost. (Maybe a buck if they just won't give it to you.) Use with stands, which have a heavy, round base, takes up less space on stage and elsewhere, and makes it easy to move around and get out of the way . There's no need for a tripod with foldable and foldable legs that get in the way, and most inexpensive tripods are cheaply made, very light, and break easily when moving equipment or simply tripping over it. The base is screwed up to the stop. on stand until finger tight. The adjustment screw allows you to adjust the tilt and rotation of the camera. The set screw presses against a ball joint and has a plastic thumb grip that feels a bit flimsy. I'm very careful not to overtighten for fear of loosening the plastic thumb stud. complex adjustment mechanism, right? There is a notch on the side of the case that allows you to set a preset angle of 90 degrees. The metal thumbscrew that attaches the camera base to the adapter has a rubber washer and a thin rubber mat. acts as a cushion pad when tightened to the camera. Be careful. The metal knurled screw can easily fall out of the holder when transporting, removing or changing the camera. I found a small "threaded plastic washer ring" that threads onto the mounting plate screw when not in use. You can easily find many types of washers, screws, plastic parts, etc. to keep it in place when storing or transporting. You can also leave it connected to the camera. In any case, be careful not to fall out and lose it. All in all the 'little thing' is pretty solid, heavy and strong, takes up almost no space and does a great job of being small, simple, strong and inexpensive. . It holds up well when hit or moved. I have absolutely "no play”, no dangling and no dangling. I would not put a larger 8mm camera or a heavy camera on this adapter. Most modern devices will be fine. Again, make sure you tighten it "enough" for it to hold up well. Do not keep it in the grip of Hercules, and it will last for many years. I have. I'm happy with mine and bought one for our drummer for Christmas. Hope that helps!
