My new Budget Mobile Recording Setup - it Works!!

Here's my new Mobile Recoding Setup - I've gotten lots of emails about how good the quality was in the Telluride shows - this was the setup. First the equipment and then the staging. The staging btw was hilarious and fun. You can right-click and open these pics for a bigger view.
In the bottom pic you can see me in the red shirt holding my trusty iRiver ifp-795 for a recording device. I bought a stereo lavalier mic set from Sound Professionals: SP-BMC-3. I got em with extra sensitivity and little clips on them. I wore them clipped on my running shirt for the 5K show, but I needed to get them on a stable platform for the festival. I found a video camera tripod in a closet that will collapse to about 14" high so fits in a backpack easier. I set that up and took a regular wooden paint stirring stick about a foot long and attached that to the flat bed of the tripod using an old rusty C-clamp. Now I have a horizontal platform a foot wide. I then clipped the 2 lav mikes to either end of the wooden stick and faced them forward, but angled out about 30 degrees for a better stereo sound. Voila!
In the bottom pic you can see the tripod. Look carefully and you can see the edge of the stick and the 2 black mikes at either end. In the top pic, it is a side view and you can see the C-clamp and the top of the tripod and the near mike aimong to the right of the pic. People would see my setup and laugh. They are so used to the 'serious' tapers with their 15' mikestands and huge mike arrays. Mine seemed like a joke - but I am all about the fun, and I bet I got 75% of the quality they did.
