Mounting a Telinga Parabolic Microphone on a Camera Tripod

Trying to hold a Telinga Parabolic Microphone steady for several minutes can really cause your arm to ache - it also can lead to handling noise on the recording. To overcome this I decided to investigate ways of supporting the mic on camera tripod.

My solution is to mount the microphone by it's handle using a binocular clamp. The one that I found to be most effective is the Manfrotto 035BN Binocular Superclamp.
