POWRIG Adjustable Ball Head Microphone Mount (MB-62M) The POWRIG MB-62M is a compact, CNC-machined aluminum ball head mount that converts a standard 1/4"-20 thread (camera tripod, cage, cold shoe adapter) into a 5/8"-27 microphone thread — the universal standard for studio microphones, boom stands, and shock mounts. The integrated ball joint provides 360° pan and multi-axis tilt adjustment, allowing precise microphone positioning in any orientation. Rated for a 3 kg (6.6 lb) maximum load, it securely supports most studio condenser microphones, broadcast microphones, and shotgun microphones — even when mounted on extended boom arms. Key Features 1/4"-20 to 5/8"-27 Thread Adapter — The base screws onto any standard 1/4"-20 threaded mount (tripods, camera cages, cold shoe adapters, magic arms, desk clamps). The top outputs a 5/8"-27 thread — the universal microphone mount standard used by Rode, Shure, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, and Neumann shock mounts and stand clips. 360° Ball Head Articulation — The ball joint allows full 360-degree rotation and multi-axis tilt for precise mic positioning. Lock the angle with the side knob — the ball head holds position firmly even under the weight of heavy studio microphones. 3 kg (6.6 lb) Load Capacity — Supports most professional microphones including large-diaphragm condensers (Neumann U87, AKG C414), broadcast dynamics (Shure SM7B, Electro-Voice RE20), and shotgun mics (Sennheiser MKH 416) without sag or drift. CNC Aluminum Alloy Construction — Machined from solid aluminum alloy with a black anodized finish. Provides rigid stability without the weight of steel. Will not flex or deform under normal use. 93g Compact & Portable — Lightweight enough to add to a camera cage or on-location kit without significant weight penalty. Small form factor fits in a pocket or accessory pouch. No-Tool Locking Knob — The side-mounted locking knob tightens and releases the ball head by hand. No Allen key or wrench required — adjust mic position on the fly during recording sessions.
